Unable to install through the git repo #775

Closed msoutopico closed 1 year ago

Hi there,

I have followed the instructions to install from the git repo:

souto@eos  ~/Repos  git clone https://github.com/vslavik/poedit.git
souto@eos  ~/Repos  cd poedit  
souto@eos  ~/Repos/poedit   master  ./bootstrap

Then, I understand I still need to build from source (I'm on linux), so I did:

Configured poedit-3.2.1 for x86_64-pc-linux-gnu

Enabled features:

    * debug build:                    no
    * language detection:             no
    * crowdin integration:            no

    !!! WARNING !!!

    Your are building a limited version of Poedit without some important
    features (see above). This makes Poedit harder to use and is strongly
    advised against.

    !!! WARNING !!!

As you can see, make install ended with error 1.

Could you help? Thanks. Cheers, Manuel

/usr/bin/install: cannot create regular file '/usr/local/bin/poedit': Permission denied

You need to have basic understanding of compilers and your OS to build from source code, plus the willingness to read and understand error messages. The quoted error is clear as day and tells you exactly what the problem is: you're trying to install in a location you don't have permissions for. See your distro's documentation to learn about the filesystem layout, different users (incl. root), the sudo too and the consequences of installing something in /usr/local. The consequences aren't entirely trivial and if this error message confused you, you probably shouldn't be installing anything there.

Thanks for the quick reply, there's something to learn from it. However, you're not pointing to a possible solution. It's clear that running sudo make install is something I shouldn't do, but do you have any advise about what I could do to have the app installed?

However, you're not pointing to a possible solution.

You seem to be under the mistaken assumption you're paying for support here.

do you have any advise about what I could do

Use prebuilt packages. That's why they exist.
