What to do if ./configure script is not there in the tarball?

[kagashe]

Hi,

I am back (after about 6 months) on TC and would like to refresh my knowledge about compiling on TC.

I have uzbl on my mind which is webkit-gtk based browser with new concepts about what a browser should be.

The source is available on git but it does not have ./configure script. It is installed through 'make' and 'sudo make install' to /usr/bin which is not the policy of TC.

I find webkit.tcz on TC but is it webkit-gtk or qt? If it is webkit-gtk my task would be simple (I hope).

I looked at that makefile and it appears that simply manually editing the make file to install into /usr/local is all that would be needed.

This command is an easy way to accomplish it for this file.  Other makefiles may need a different approach depending what is in it.:

sed -i "s:/usr:/usr/local:g" make

It returned this:

Hi!
I have a similar problem. I am new to this. It is the first time i am trying to make a extension. I want to make a extension for ebtables. The sourcecode is available on ebtables.sourceforge.net.
There is no configure file with the source.

I looked in the make file and there is a section there with:

# default paths
LIBDIR:=/usr/lib
MANDIR:=/usr/local/man
BINDIR:=/usr/local/sbin
ETCDIR:=/etc
INITDIR:=/etc/rc.d/init.d
SYSCONFIGDIR:=/etc/sysconfig
DESTDIR:=

CFLAGS:=-Wall -Wunused -Werror
CFLAGS_SH_LIB:=-fPIC -O3
CC:=gcc


I replaced DESTDIR= with DESTDIR=/usr/local. After this i tried to run make -j2.
I then got this error:

tc@box:~/ebtables-v2.0.10-4$ make -j2
gcc -Wall -Wunused -Werror -fPIC -O3 -DPROGVERSION=\"2.0.10-4\" -DPROGNAME=\"ebtables\" -DPROGDATE=\"December\ 2011\" -D_PATH_ETHERTYPES=\"/etc/ethertypes\" -DEBTD_ARGC_MAX=50 -DEBTD_CMDLINE_MAXLN=2048 -DLOCKFILE=\"/var/lib/ebtables/lock\" -DLOCKDIR=\"/var/lib/ebtables/\" -c -o communication.o communication.c -Iinclude/

cc1: all warnings being treated as errors

make: *** [communication.o] Error 1
make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
tc@box:~/ebtables-v2.0.10-4$


Do you have any idea of whats wrong?
To get the Makefile correct is it enough to just change the DESTDIR? or is it something more?

Remove "-Werror". The creators apparently use an older gcc and so haven't yet removed that unused variable.

Also, set DESTDIR to /tmp/package rather than usr/local so it's easy to package up.

..and, if you're planning to submit  the extension, you might want to do something like this:

Code: [Select]

# default paths
LIBDIR:=/usr/local/lib
MANDIR:=/usr/local/man
BINDIR:=/usr/local/sbin
ETCDIR:=/usr/local/etc
INITDIR:=/usr/local/etc/rc.d/init.d
SYSCONFIGDIR:=/usr/local/etc/sysconfig
DESTDIR:=/tmp/pkg

CFLAGS:=-Wall -Wunused -march=i486 -mtune=i686 -Os -pipe
CFLAGS_SH_LIB:=-fPIC -Os
CC:=gcc

[rabtux]

Thank you very much for your help .

it works good so far. I have two network cards that is bridged and I am now able to block dhcp traffic between them

I will submit the extension soon.
