Fink & Sources

[Mi And]

Hi,

I'm trying to install from source using Fink and I'm running into problems left and right.

(Yes, I read the FAQ & yes, I installed the developer tools to have the right compiler.)

Package names for example:

mc (lib slang 1.4.4 won't download, because the new one is 1.4.5.; got me the old version somewhere else, but the compiling process stops with some missing include)

mad (output follows:

make
make all-recursive
Making all in intl
cc -c -DLOCALEDIR=\"/sw/share/locale\" -DGNULOCALEDIR=\"/sw/share/locale\" -DLOCALE_ALIAS_PATH=\"/sw/share/locale:.\" -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I.. -I. -I../intl -I../lib -I/sw/include -Wall -g -O2 intl-compat.c
libgettext.h:33: header file 'sys/types.h' not found
cpp-precomp: warning: errors during smart preprocessing, retrying in basic mode
make[2]: *** [intl-compat.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make: *** [all-recursive-am] Error 2
### make failed, exit code 2
Failed: compiling mad-0.14.0b-1 failed )

Thanks for your kind support.

-Mi

For your slang problem, Download: slang-1.4.4.tar.gz from here:

http://www.sunfreeware.com/solaris_2.5_list.html

Download: slang-1.4.4.tar.gz

Then, cd to wherever you have the file.

Then, cp slang-1.4.4.tar.gz /sw/src

Finally, run again "fink install mc"

Fink will recognize the file from /sw/src

Please, more information:

Fink version, XFree86 version

Cheers...

[sao]

There are problems with the package mc.

Please, if you have problems installing, post the errors here.

What version of gettext you have installed?

You may try:

"fink rebuild gettext"

and then, again:

"fink install mad"

Cheers...

None. I hadn't installed it before. What does it do?

I did that. Here's the output starting with make:

make

I use Fink Distribution version 0.3.2a, package manager 0.9.7. My XFree is 4.2.0. I use XDarwin to start it up.

Thanks!!

That's exactly where I got it before! :-)

Yep. That's what I did before. I did it again now and here's the output, beginning with make:

See within my other reply.

Did you get it to run on your system? I hardly ever got any compile from source done using Fink - I always took the binaries via atp-get.

Thanks (again),

-Mi.

Ok, let's start again.

It looks like you're missing header files.

MacOS X version ?

Did you installed the "December" Developer Tools ?

Cheers...

[Mi And]

I reinstalled DeveloperToolsDec2001, hadn't done every single part, I guess.

I got OS 10.1.3.

Now I can compile mc and mad. Works fine. (With mc though I can't use the f10 key on my iBook - do you know any workaround?)

One thing that happened after reinstalling DevTools:

When trying to "mount -smbfs" (Samba) I get an:

smbfs: can't set locale ''

Any idea about this? Mounting works fine, it seems, though.

[sao]

That's why I asked. Fink needs the December Developer Tools properly installed to function.

mc is used as the gnome file manager, but it doesn't actually seem to be needed by most of the gnome packages, I had similar problems when building mc, so I installed most packages without it.

I don't know of a workaround for the F10 key(quit), let me know if you find one. Mine works, but I have trouble with other function keys.

I also installed "mad" without any problem.

About "smbfs: can't set locale '':

I can't be of much help here. But...

A call to setlocale will fail if the requested locale's support files cannot be found or accessed.

The simplest way to specify what locale to use is to set the LANG environment variable.

1-Check your ~/.cshrc or ~/.tcshrc file.

or track down any missing locale files and install restore them or patch them up with links.

or track down where LANG is defined and change it.

(Remember that X has its own locale information.)

Also, can you run "which make" and let me know the result.

Cheers...

Thanks again for the DecDevTool-Help!

LANG is set

I got an ~/.cshrc. It only contains "source /sw/bin/init.csh"

I don't really know how to do that :-) The strange thing about all of this is: Since I installed the DecDevTools, I have that behaviour within Samba. Do you think it could help to just reinstall that? I didn't do it using Fink, but by way of the binary from xamba.sourceforge.net.

Any idea what could happen if that err message stays on?

/usr/bin/make

PS: Please excuse some of my sillyness - I'm a newbie to compiling & all that.

[mervTormel]

as i understood it, those 'locale' messages are warnings and should be ignored.

[sao]

Sorry, can't help you more, as I don't know much about samba.

But, as MervTormel says, if they are just warnings, maybe can be ignored.

Cheers...
