I would like to play with GGI but I am having problems with KGI and I will
never put Xwindows on my system again. Basically, I cannot compile, make
KGI-0.9.
I am currently running redhat linux 6.2 with a linux-2.2.14-5.0 kernel and
that is what shows in my .configure files. I am trying to build the
kgi-0.9-20000418 snapshot.
I am currently running root and thats the only user I use.
First thing I did is tar the linux source code(big file I know) and then I
did a gzip. Now I tarred the actual linux folder, I didnot tar from within
the folder itself(if that means anything). So I now copy the tarred linux
source to the kgi-0.9/Linux/ folder and then ascend to kgi-0.9 and do a
./configure. It extracts the tar and then says that there is an error, the
linux source is not found, cant do kernel make. Ok, so I play with the
configure tool and then place the source in the right directory and I get
configure working.
- At this point ./configure works ok. S
- Now I think I should get KGI-0.9 ready to add to the kernel.
- I do a 'make' in the KGI-0.9 directory and it makes all kinds of
files, in the Linux source directory
- It takes about a hour so far, and then all the sudden I get a 'make error'
- I get a whole page of errors about libGGI.c and then make fails.
I dont know what to do at this point. I guess you all know that libGGI is
different from the 'real libGGI', I haven't even gotten to that point yet.
Like I said earlier I am running as root, so where kgi puts the include
files may be different for a different user. But when I add another user I
get a lot of permission denied errors, hmm...
Another thing, how do I know if the make worked correctly on kgi-0.9 and
then what do I do after that. make install kernel? make modules?
I know most of you are using Xwindows but somebody must have had this
problem.
Thanx.
