How to install tar.bz

[dpfrancesco]

Hi,
I'ld like to instal Longomatch in my Linux Mint computer.
The file was dowloaded from https://www.downloadtyphoon.com/longoma ... adyfcyejte
I have followed the install instruction:
1. `cd' to the directory containing the package's source code and type
`./configure' to configure the package for your system.
2. Type `make' to compile the package.
3. Optionally, type `make check' to run any self-tests that come with the package.
4. Type `make install' to install the programs and any data files and documentation.

After ./configure from terminal it printed some messages telling the features it was checking for.
but after make I have this message:

Code: Select all

make: *** Nessun obiettivo specificato e nessun makefile trovato.  Arresto.

(make: *** No specified target and no makefiles found. Stop.)
So I tried to type "Make Install" but I had the same message.

Someone can help me?

You probably need to run the autogen.sh script first to create the makefile. It will also let you know if you're missing any dependencies.

[dpfrancesco]

So from terminal I tape autogen.sh but I have this message:

Code: Select all

autogen.sh: comando non trovato

(autogen.sh command not found)

[ajgringo619]

./autogen.sh (from the source folder).

[dpfrancesco]

Yes, from "utente@PC-ASUS ~ $"
I type
./autogen.sh
But I have
bash: ./autogen.sh: File o directory non esistente

[ajgringo619]

Reread your OP. The first instruction is to 'cd to the source directory (same one you ran ./configure from).

[ajgringo619]

FYI - if you're not familiar with building packages from source, this is not a straightforward procedure, especially for this piece of software. You will most likely need to install build dependencies along the way (sorry, it needs mono, which I don't want on my system). It also claims to need multiple hours to build - again, not going to go that far.

One dependency I can help you with is this (from my 1st attempt with autogen.sh):

Code: Select all

*** No intltoolize found, please install it ***

This is resolved by installing intltool:

Code: Select all

sudo apt install intltool

[dpfrancesco]

Reread your OP. The first instruction is to 'cd to the source directory (same one you ran ./configure from).

Yes, of course, before typing the commands, I changed the directory entering the source one

[dpfrancesco]

With "sudo apt install intltool" I have
intltool is already the newest version (0.51.0-2ubuntu1.16.04.1).

I think the command is ok

From your system the install procedure work, I presume. So the problem is in my computer.

This doesn't make sense. I downloaded the .tar.bz file from your link and extracted the files. Here's the listing of the files I got:

I also downloaded the file and extracted them with
sudo tar zxvf longomatch-LONGOMATCH_1_0_2.tar.gz.tar.gz
I had the same message you have.
Then with cd I changed the directory
Then ./configure
But after with Make I had the error

I don't understend

[ajgringo619]

OK, we're making progress. Instead of running ./configure, run ./autogen.sh.

[dpfrancesco]

... making progress...... I hope

Code: Select all

utente@PC-ASUS ~/Scaricati/longomatch-LONGOMATCH_1_0_2 $ ./autogen.sh
configure.ac:44: warning: macro 'AM_GLIB_GNU_GETTEXT' not found in library
autom4te: cannot create autom4te.cache: No such file or directory
aclocal: error: echo failed with exit status: 1
autoreconf: aclocal failed with exit status: 1

Is this good?

[ajgringo619]

Yep, just another dependency that needs to be resolved:

Code: Select all

sudo apt install autoconf automake

[ajgringo619]

I tried to get this to build on my LMDE3 VM and it's pretty much pointless. After downloading tons of required libraries/tools, I'm stuck with its need for an old gstreamer library that's not readily available (probably have to build that from source, too). You might be better off installing Windows 7/10 in a VM and downloading their basic package.

[dpfrancesco]

I'll try with Wine and I hope it'll work.
Thanks a lot
