Help! 1st time installing from source! QTScrob - last.fm

[Husse]

Welcome to Mint prinssimikko
There is actually some useful info in the wiki
http://www.linuxmint.com/wiki/index.php ... eb_package
You should take some time and read (the second link in the wiki)
http://monkeyblog.org/ubuntu/installing/#source
I think what's happened in your case is that you have not installed build-essentials
This is a package with some files necessary to use make
You can find it in Synaptic
Post back if you need more help, but you were definitely going in the right direction

[Husse]

It's a good sign

Make an sticky or something with the build-essentials, it is the most crucial tool when compiling...

[Husse]

You're right about sticky, but I think there already is one Or was - I don't find it now

Should be in Newbie and General help though, maybe in Software as well. Perhaps I should consider making a wiki page about compiling, but I am lazy...
EDIT!
I did not read the entire post, but if you are trying to install last.fm, the site offer an unofficial deb package of the newest stable release..

[Husse]

Well the makefile is in
qtscrob-0.7/src/cli
Navigate there and "make" and it will probably work

I sometimes get stubborn and want to find out what I did wrong, and it is alaways as you say something basic or obvious. Then other times I just take the easy way out and use the software portal. You could try this:
