Hi @Armin I tried to install at-spi2-core-2.4.2 while running system wide dbus daemon Make works fine the make check fails(i ignore this) and then make install works
After that I try to install at-spi2-atk-2.4.0here even the make faails with the above error that I posted. @Ken My machine has a wireless connection it works onmy host system Ubuntu. I have already installed wpa_supplicant. I have also recompiled my kernel after including the wifi card drivers for my card. I checked the card name etc using lspci command which shows the wireless card as Network controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR9285 Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express) (rev 01), so i selected the driver and recompiled my kernel and then installed wpa_suplicant and also wireless tools and even network manager but when I boot into lfs I cant use my wireless it desnt not show connected to wlan0 Regards James On Fri, Jul 20, 2012 at 12:13 AM, Ken Moffat <[email protected]>wrote: > On Thu, Jul 19, 2012 at 10:21:38PM +0530, James Pinto wrote: > > > > So when I do a make install nothing happens it says nothing to make. > > I guess because make dint run properly so make install doesnt work..... > > > > As Armin has already noted, you need to explain what failed. > Whenever 'make' (or 'configure') fails, you did not complete the > build, so trying to install it is senseless. > > Find the the error, that is the first part of diagnosing what went > wrong.
