Title: Compile aMule CVS on FreeBSD 5.4
Post by: HayArms on August 26, 2005, 09:16:29 PM

Hi all , I get these messages when trying compiling aMule CVS on FreeBSD 5.4 :

Code: [Select]

[...]

checking for bfd headers... no
configure: WARNING: bfd.h not found, please install binutils development package if you are a developer or want to help testing aMule
[...]
configure: WARNING: sys/mount.h: present but cannot be compiled
configure: WARNING: sys/mount.h:     check for missing prerequisite headers?

It's normal?
I'm compiling it and seems to compile well ...for now.
Thanks

Bye

Well, I think configure is making itself quite clear here, you are missing the binutils development package (in most linux distros called binutils-dev or binutils-devel, no idea about *BSD)...

HayArms,

Unfortunately, it seems that there are not as much BSD users in this forum as Linux users, so BSD related questions may take some more time to get anwered.

I am also no BSD man, but I think thedude0001 said it all. You miss some packages. Especially binutils devel. Find out what is the BSD equivalent and install it.

Configure should run without warning messages. Any display like the one you showed is not supposed to be normal.

Cheers!

There's no such package in FreeBSD :(

I found the "bfd.h" header in the CVS sources of the system, but I don't know neither how to install it in a proper directory neither if I should install it in some way.

sys/mount.h is present , but the configure program says that is not usable.

Do you have any ideas?

Thanks
