Required file not found #567

Closed penthimos closed 1 year ago

penthimos commented 1 year ago

I am just attempting to run

./autogen.sh

after doing clone, init, and update, and I get

configure.ac:713: error: required file 'cut-n-paste/smclient/Makefile.in' not found

I don't really know what I'm doing or even if this is the place to report this, and it's very possible it's my fault I'm getting this error, so I appreciate your forbearance.

Initialize, fetch and checkout any nested submodules before running ./autogen.sh: git submodule update --init --recursive

Thank you! I did this. Then ./autogen.sh gave a new error, "No package 'gtk+-3.0' found".

So I Googled and did sudo apt-get install build-essential libgtk-3-dev and then ./autogen.sh gave "No package 'gail-3.0' found".

Now I've Googled again and done apt-get install libatk-adaptor libgail-common (redundant, as it happens: nothing installed) and sudo apt-get install libatk-adaptor:i386 libgail-common:i386 and finally sudo apt-get install gail-3.0. These both did apparently install something, but I still get the error that it cannot find gail-3.0. It gives the following further advice:

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

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

Thank you again!

Are you building for 386 or for 64 bit? Maybe you are getting ONLY the 32 bit version?
