[linrad] Re: Unable to compile linrad-2.34 on Ubuntu Feisty
Hi Jeff, I can't get linrad to compile on a relative clean installation of Ubuntu Feisty (7.04). The only error is that the C compiler is not properly installed. I do not know the exact reason, maybe the run time libraries are missing. Have a look at config.log, it might advice what more packages you need to make GCC work. Thanks for the quick reply. Some searching turn up this link http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=190193 which suggests that I need to install libc6-dev. That helped. Good:-) I also needed to install the xorg-dev package. This is not quite true. You have two choices. In case you want to run Linrad under X11 you surely have to install xorg-dev but you have the option to install in terminal mode and then you do not need xorg-dev. Instead you would have to install svgalib. I usually prefer svgalib because I want the entire screen for Linrad. Under elderly distributions and in particular on elderly computers X11 might be too slow and Linrad might not work under it even though Linrad would run happily with svgalib. With modern Linux an on reasonably modern computers, running Linrad under X11 can be more efficient than running with svgalib (not that it matters on a fast computer) Linrad was originally designed to run on a 66 MHz Pentium. Initially svgalib was the only possible solution. I still test Linrad on a 100 MHz Pentium from time to time to make sure it still works on slow computers, but I will not continue to do this much longer because the old computers take up too much table space. In the future I will only check Pentium II and up. 73 Leif / SM5BSZ # This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list linrad@antennspecialisten.se.

Hi Jeff, I can't get linrad to compile on a relative clean installation of Ubuntu Feisty (7.04). ./configure can't find soundcard.h because it doesn't look in a path containing `uname -r`. This is no error. Linrad looks for soundcard.h in some directories specific for OSS. If it is not present Linrad will assume soundcard.h is provided by ALSA (or legacy sound) automake1.9 fails if I try fix configure.in with a complaint about missing AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE. Seems your Ubuntu install is not complete. I do not know what you have to add, but Linrad does not require automake to work unless you want to change any of the .in files. Here's the error output from ./configure [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/Desktop/linrad-02.34$ ./configure checking for /usr/lib/oss/soundcard.h... no checking for /usr/local/lib/oss/soundcard.h... no checking for /lib/oss/soundcard.h... no checking for /var/lib/oss/soundcard.h... no checking for /opt/oss/soundcard.h... no checking for /root/oss/soundcard.h... no checking for /usr/lib/oss/include/sys/soundcard.h... no checking for /usr/local/lib/oss/include/sys/soundcard.h... no checking for /lib/oss/include/sys/soundcard.h... no checking for /var/lib/oss/include/sys/soundcard.h... no checking for /opt/oss/include/sys/soundcard.h... no checking for /root/oss/include/sys/soundcard.h... no checking for /dev/dsp... yes checking for /dev/sound/dsp... no checking for ./users_hwaredriver.c... no checking for ./users_hwaredriver.c...
