problems compiling

[fizzdigit]

What I need is a list of every single package I should install to be able to compile something from source. I installed compiletc and I still can't get anything to compile. I tried to compile mp3blaster, a cli music player and it said I don't have a C compiler, I tried to compile the newest Abiword and it said I was missing a ton of packages, but I had them all installed. What gives?

or...maybe if someone could please update the Abiword extension that'd be cool too.

Did you install compiletc with the apps browser - if so, this meta-extension would download a bunch of extensions required to compile most things:

Code: [Select]

binutils.tcz
base-dev.tcz
bison.tcz
diffutils.tcz
file.tcz
findutils.tcz
flex.tcz
gawk.tcz
gcc.tcz
gperf.tcz
grep.tcz
m4.tcz
make.tcz
patch.tcz
pkg-config.tcz
sed.tcz

..note also that you need to install extension_name-dev if you want to compile something that requires extension_name

ah. yes I downloaded compiletc using the appsbrowser. Still can't compile. I will have to look into the "-dev" packages I need for certain things. I shall try again and see. thanks

[fizzdigit]

  Thanks a bunch. I wasn't aware of the "-dev" packages. When my compilation ran it just said I was missing [for example] "cairo" (which I had inistalled), not "cairo-dev". It is compiling as I type this. Much appreciated and now I know.

Could you consider submitting mp3blaster as an extension for the repo?
(Until now I am using the debian binaries...)

Appbrowser-->Size shows ogg-vorbis.tcz as "Error, not found"

Thanks - that should have been libogg as a dep

[SamK]

Starting reports: "libvorbisfile.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory".

libvorbis.tcz instead of libogg.tcz?
   

[Juanito]

both I presume, but I'm away from a tc machine to double-check at the moment.

libvorbis added to dep file

A quick check in the TC3 repository shows libvorbis.tcz has a single dependency - libogg.tcz.
