Title: make fails
Post by: thefonz on April 06, 2005, 03:35:14 AM

Following the "Install from Sources" wiki entry, wxGTK install went fine, wxBase install went fine, but when I reach the make stage of the aMule install, this happens:

username@linux:~/temp/aMule-2.0.0rc8> make
make  all-recursive
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/username/temp/aMule-2.0.0rc8'
Making all in m4

make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/username/temp/aMule-2.0.0rc8'
make: *** [all] Error 2

Same thing for the latest CVS, btw.

What am I doing wrong?

SuSE 9.1, wxGTK-2.4.2, wxBase-2.4.2

hey easy one ;)

install gettext and/or gettext-devel

Thanks, that solved the problem.

Did I miss a hint or the like, stating that gettext was required?

I guess I'm just a bit surprised that there was no warning, e.g. upon running ./configure...

if you would have run autogen.sh that would have complained but configure does not...

also configure checks if gettext is there, but does not fail actually

maybe that "feature" should be added: failing if no useful getext is available (although, this is weird, since in solaris, gettext is broken, so autogen.sh will fail miserably, but amule will compile and run perfectly. Strange)

Regards.
