How to make? #1

Hi @cddknight - thanks for sharing this!

Could you give me a tip on how to compile?

$ cd test/dialsys
$ make all
make -C libdial
make[1]: Entering directory '/home/.../test/dialsys/libdial'
make[1]: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/../test/dialsys/libdial'
make: *** [Makefile:4: all] Error 2

Hello,

If you have a machine setup for development then you should be able to run the following commands in libdial:

    aclocal
    autoconf
    autoheader
    automake -a
    ./configure
    make

To build the clock you will need to "make install" the library before running the above commands in the tzclock directory.

Hope this helps,

Chris

Many thanks!

Hello,

You will need to install libtool. This is a set of tools that help you develop shared libraries. Within this package there is the ltmain.sh the build is looking for. Normally I create a link to this file in the build directory. Here is part of a shell script I use to find it because it's location is not consistant:

if [ -e /usr/share/libtool/ltmain.sh ] then LTMAIN=/usr/share/libtool/ltmain.sh elif [ -e /usr/share/libtool/config/ltmain.sh ] then LTMAIN=/usr/share/libtool/config/ltmain.sh else LTMAIN=find /usr/share/libtool/ -name ltmain.sh fi ln -sf $LTMAIN ltmain.sh

Hope this helps,

Chris

thanks for your reply. but my machine already has libtool installed. i cheated a little bit and download the tar version from your website and copy the ltmain.sh inside this one, still no answer. Do u have any idea? I am a newbie.

hklsb commented 3 years ago

i found this useful /usr/share/libtool/build-aux/ltmain.sh this is what i got when i run find /usr/share/libtool/ -name ltmain.sh in terminal i checked manually into the libdial folder and found ltmain.sh but it's empty where do go from here please?

cddknight commented 3 years ago

I think your machine has a problem, just looked at my Ubuntu 20.04 build machine and ltmain.sh contains 11251 lines.

The path /usr/share/libtool/build-aux/ltmain.sh is right. What version of Ubuntu are you using?

hklsb commented 3 years ago

/usr/share/libtool/build-aux/ltmain.sh contains many codes I copy it to libdial manually and it still not work. I am using ubuntu 21.04 after adding it manually, i can successfuly run ./configure but when i run make i see a lot of errors flashing out

hklsb commented 3 years ago

sorry, i download and tried your tar.bz2. I type ./configure and get the following errors.

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables DEPS_CFLAGS and DEPS_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config. See the pkg-config man page for more details. `

cddknight commented 3 years ago

This is because if the dependencies for GTK3 cannot be met then it will try and build for GTK2. You will need to install:

libgtk-3-dev, libnotify-dev

After this try this command:

pkg-config --list-all | grep -E "gtk|gthread-2.0|notify"

It should show something like:

gthread-2.0 GThread - Thread support for GLib gtk+-3.0 GTK+ - GTK+ Graphical UI Library gtk+-broadway-3.0 GTK+ - GTK+ Graphical UI Library gtk+-unix-print-3.0 GTK+ - GTK+ Unix print support gtk+-wayland-3.0 GTK+ - GTK+ Graphical UI Library gtk+-x11-3.0 GTK+ - GTK+ Graphical UI Library libnotify libnotify - Notifications Library

hklsb commented 3 years ago

This is what i got... after installing both the above the later one was already installed. ` gthread-2.0 GThread - Thread support for GLib gtk+-2.0 GTK+ - GTK+ Graphical UI Library (x11 target) gtk+-3.0 GTK+ - GTK+ Graphical UI Library gtk+-broadway-3.0 GTK+ - GTK+ Graphical UI Library gtk+-unix-print-2.0 GTK+ - GTK+ Unix print support gtk+-unix-print-3.0 GTK+ - GTK+ Unix print support gtk+-wayland-3.0 GTK+ - GTK+ Graphical UI Library gtk+-x11-2.0 GTK+ - GTK+ Graphical UI Library (x11 target) gtk+-x11-3.0 GTK+ - GTK+ Graphical UI Library gtk-dotnet-2.0 Gtk.DotNet - .NET Extensions for Gtk gtk-sharp-2.0 Gtk - Gtk libnotify libnotify - Notifications Library

after this i did this. ./configure make sudo make install and this is what i got: sudo make install make[1]: Entering directory '/home/bantu/Downloads/tzclock-4.2' /usr/bin/mkdir -p '/usr/local/bin' /usr/bin/install -c tzclock screenSize '/usr/local/bin' /usr/bin/mkdir -p '/usr/local/share/appdata' /usr/bin/install -c -m 644 tzclock.appdata.xml '/usr/local/share/appdata' /usr/bin/mkdir -p '/usr/local/share/applications' /usr/bin/install -c -m 644 tzclock.desktop '/usr/local/share/applications' /usr/bin/mkdir -p '/usr/local/share/icons/hicolor/128x128/apps' /usr/bin/install -c -m 644 icons/128x128/tzclock.png '/usr/local/share/icons/hicolor/128x128/apps' /usr/bin/mkdir -p '/usr/local/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps' /usr/bin/install -c -m 644 icons/48x48/tzclock.png '/usr/local/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps' /usr/bin/mkdir -p '/usr/local/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps' /usr/bin/install -c -m 644 icons/scalable/tzclock.svg '/usr/local/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps' /usr/bin/mkdir -p '/usr/local/share/man/man1' /usr/bin/install -c -m 644 'tzclock.man' '/usr/local/share/man/man1/tzclock.1' make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/bantu/Downloads/tzclock-4.2'

hklsb commented 3 years ago

i nearly got it working...but bad luck.

cddknight commented 3 years ago

That looks like it worked. It would have installed in to /usr/local/bin. Can you run "tzclock" on the command line? If that fails try "/usr/local/bin/tzclock".

hklsb commented 3 years ago

below is what i got... (tzclock:9744): Gtk-ERROR **: 23:00:39.290: GTK+ 2.x symbols detected. Using GTK+ 2.x and GTK+ 3 in the same process is not supported Trace/breakpoint trap (core dumped)

hklsb commented 3 years ago

i also have a blank( transparent) app in the app store which doesnot do anything. Is it because I need to chmod any file or make it execuatable??i don't know maybe?

cddknight commented 3 years ago

If you want to email chris@theknight.co.uk I can send you deb files built for 21.04, I understand it is cheating a bit.

hklsb commented 3 years ago

just sent u already.

Hi Chris,

I got libdial to build (needed to run# ldconfig after# make installto get tzclock to find the library in/usr/local/lib, but after that it launched perfectly), but building gauge gives me a:

# ./configure
.....
configure: error: Package requirements (gtk+-2.0 >= 2.10.0 libgnomeui-2.0 libcurl libxml-2.0 zlib dial) were not met:

No package 'gtk+-2.0' found
No package 'libgnomeui-2.0' found

error.

Repeating the above fixes in /dialsys/gauge didn't get me past the error. Linux Mint 21 Vanessa

msdobrescu commented 2 years ago

@gessel, you need to install the required packages from your distro repos, including the devel versions too.
