Hi Dave.

The error I was talking to you about the other day was because I was missing the pkg-config package.

Code: Select all

checking termios.h usability... yes
checking termios.h presence... yes
checking for termios.h... yes
checking for unistd.h... (cached) yes
./configure: line 16009: syntax error near unexpected token `LIBXML2,libxml-2.0'
./configure: line 16009: `PKG_CHECK_MODULES(LIBXML2,libxml-2.0 )'
Cheers

Is this with 0.9.20, or a previous version?

This is with 0.9.20. Tried from the tarball, then cvs update. Very new to all this, do you need to see more of the code in term to diagnose?

NOTE: CVS is deprecated. Its unusual that you get that issue.
please run the following commands and copy the output to this thread:

Code: Select all

cd megatunix-0.9.20/desktop
ls
make clean
make
ls

This is what I got. Thank you for your help.
A-HA! I see my issue. I screwed up the makefile so it didn't put those files in the tarball..

I have committed a fix to the git repo. I'll reply back as soon as I get this tested on a mac.

you've tried pulling from git? When? I verified the files are present in a git checkout, so it should be working

...builds fine on my Mandriva 2010.1 and 2010.0 setup, which would lead me to think it isn't a makefile issue... (I'm not installing Ubuntu again,I suppose I do have space for a VM on the big box)

checked vs. latest git pull (worked on last one as well)

I can see missing/renamed dep issues between distros, but both are using gnu make...

For some reason I cant use git clone to compile, so I had to dl from git hub and place in dir. Attached is what I keep getting. Its user error I'm sure, maybe I should just run a windows xover. Thought I could figure this out.

If you are running OSX, you're in totally the wrong thread... Perhaps Ubuntu is installable on Macbooks?

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBook

ah... (from autogen.doc) checking dynamic linker characteristics... darwin10.4.0 dyld
You're lost. The OSX thread is here: http://www.msextra.com/forums/viewtopic ... 06&t=35592

...From reading the OSX thread, installing/dual booting Ubuntu should be a breeze (and much faster) by comparison.

Tip: to update an existing git repo (like the downloaded version) the command is "git pull" from the directory the repo is in. (ls should show configure etc)
"git clone' is likely to bork on an existing repo (refuse to do the wrong thing) I ran ino that the first time I ran git. (try "man git")

git clone for creating a new working copy of a remote repo. git pull to pull in the latest changes from the remote repository

i.e.
really quick way:

Code: Select all

mkdir git ; cd git 
git clone git://github.com/djandruczyk/MegaTunix.git
cd MegaTunix
./autogen.sh
make
sudo make install
This assumes you have all proper pre-reqs installed.

Hi guys,

It is not exactly Ubuntu... I have added an ebuild to Gentoo bugzilla for building from git.

8.04 UBUNTU install - followed the instructions and Megtunix installed and runs but I cannot get the Gauge builder or Dash builder to run...they show up under the Automotive group in the menu but clicking on them doesn't propduce any results.

What infomation do I need to post to help troubleshoot the problem?

Intel Celeron 800MHz SBC, 1GB RAM, 8 GByte CF running UBUNTU, 12" ELO Touchscreen monitor...

Thank you in advance for your help.
