Hi Again,
I'm new to building applications by compiling the source in linux.up
to now i managed to compile the code without any problem.
(I'm using Gnote).I did ./autogen.sh, make , make install. every thing
went fine.
Good to hear.
this may be dumb question.
No question is dumb - ask away!
i want to know how to run the application
after that.I found gnote in /usr/local/bin. is this the one i should
run?.
Probably yes, though you have two choices. You could run
/usr/local/bin/gnote, which is the installed binary and which should
definitely work. You'll also find a file src/gnote in the build
directory which is actually a shell script that begins with this:
#! /bin/bash
# gnote - temporary wrapper script for .libs/gnote
# Generated by libtool (GNU libtool) 2.4.2 Debian-2.4.2-1.2ubuntu1
If you have already installed gnote once, then you can probably run
this shell script rather than /usr/local/bin/gnote. You might want to
do this so that you don't have to run 'make install' after every build
cycle - you can just run src/gnote instead, as long as there are new
data files which need to be installed.
(I tried to run it by using ./gnote but i got "./gnote: error
while loading shared libraries: libgnote-3.9.so.1: cannot open shared
object file: No such file or directory" error message)
Which directory were you in when you ran ./gnote? I'd be surprised if
you saw a binary file 'gnote' in the top-level build directory, since
(on my machine at least) building gnote generates a file 'gnote' only
in the src subdirectory.
I really want to do some coding but i don't know how to test it
without running the app (or is there a different way to test the
code).
If i'm doing things wrong, can some one give the all the steps or
give some links for some tutorials.
I hope this is enough, but if you have more questions don't hesitate to
ask again. Cheers -
adam
