compilling code problems...

PLeXroD · Post by **PLeXroD** » 08 Mar 2007, 07:24

plexrod@linuxHP:~> ~/dls tar vxjf Azureus_2.5.0.4_linux.tar.bz2
bash: /home/plexrod/dls: is a directory
plexrod@linuxHP:~>

isnt this wrong compilling code?

i mean :
x - untar the file
z - uncompress the file
v - verbose - so you can see what is happening
f - what follows is the file you want to untar

where i use j cause im untaring an ".tar.bz2" file - but then something should hapen right? but didn't...

then i jumped into manually untar the tarball into an directory.. and then jumping right to the ./configure part then again the same thing nothing happends...

did i do anything wrong or ?

um, are you trying to extract the .tar.bz2 file into the dls-directory?
it don't work that way...

simply extract the package this way:

Code: Select all

tar -jxvf package_name.tar.bz2

then move into the newly created folder (most likely named Azureus_something) and run the ./configure script if there is one (if not skip directly to make). if you get a permission error when trying to run ./configure check the file permission with

Code: Select all

ls -al filename

make sure the file is executable.

if you want to have all extracted files in the dls-folder simply move the whole folder

Code: Select all

mv azureus-foldername /path-to-dls-folder

or, if you only want to move the content of the Azureus-folder:

Code: Select all

cd Azureus-foldername
mv * /path-to-dls-folder

Since it's a tar.bz2, your commands include the 'j' and not 'the usuals'.

You never unpacked the ball properly so you can't do anything with it.

Read the README first, as always.

Just by browing inside the file itself, you'll see if it needs to be configured or not. (It'll have 'configure' in a main folder).

Sometimes, some programs have extra crap inside which needs to be untarred too. I forget with Azureus b/c it's been awhile, but by browing through the file you'll see it.

DON'T compile it in any other folder other than the one you want it in. (Yeah, I've done this as you can tell).

Some progs in Linux create their own folders. I've screwed up (temporarily, eh?) a few times putting things where they don't belong

I *do* recall Azureus doesn't care, though.

My .02 centjes.

ok i get the first part...

i untarred the tarball now:

and changed the dir to:

and now i try to run the makefile, file:

Code: Select all

plexrod@linuxHP:~/convmv-1.10>./Makefile
bash: ./Makefile: Access Denied

as you can see that didnt work out, how could that be?

change the permissions: chmod 777

I gave it

In the shell, go into the directory you want to change (Azureus, no?)
type 'chmod 777' but without the single quotes.
The 777 makes it r-w-x etc.

You didn't put the 777 in it, chmod is the command to change the permissions and the 777 tels it what permissions to change it to.

thnx again and b_b longtime no see ehh?

Post by **bad_brain** » 09 Mar 2007, 05:06

um, when you have changed the permissions of Makefile to 777 and made it executable that way don't start it by ./Makefile, simply type:

Code: Select all

make

and the compiling will start...when done with compiling:

Code: Select all

make install

that's it!

yeah Plex, where have you been man?

hope to see you again on IRC soon...

Is ./Makefile even an option?
I've never heard of that before...
(But there's a lot I don't know about Linux, either)

Don't think I read in-depth enough on PleX's post lol.

make is the command (well, actually it's an application) which automatically runs the compiling process, the Makefile file is parsed by make and contains (additional) instructions for the compiling process like needed dependencies for example. so you are right, ./Makefile can't work and it's not even necessary to make the file executable ....
