make intall fails on Raspberry Pi [workaround] #9

Closed ScaroDj closed 3 years ago

ScaroDj commented 3 years ago

Hello!

Just wanted to document that after successfully building the plugin with "make", "make install" fails with the following output: 

rm -f "/geany/jsonprettifier.so"
rm -f /geany/jsonprettifier.*
rm -f /geany/json_prettifier.*
cp -f ./jsonprettifier.so "/geany/jsonprettifier.so"
cp: cannot create regular file '/geany/jsonprettifier.so': No such file or directory
make: *** [Makefile:38: globalinstall] Error 1

I simply created the directory and copied the file 

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo mkdir /usr/lib/geany
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo cp ./jsonprettifier.so /usr/lib

You might want to fix it or people could just use this workaround.

Thanks!

Thanks for reporting the issue! The Makefile was not handling installation directory detection under Raspbian. I've edited it accordingly, and I've also improved the README instructions to make it more clear that make install requires root privileges.
