Build instructions about fsearch HOT 17 CLOSED

Yes, Ubuntu 14.04 is currently not supported because it uses a too old GTK version, but I'll see if I can lower the requirements by using some ifdefs and make it work there too.

from fsearch.

Hi, I got this
./configure: line 6340: syntax error near unexpected token `-std=c11,'

./configure: line 6340: `AX_CHECK_COMPILE_FLAG(-std=c11, CFLAGS+=" -std=c11" ,'

and commented the proof out, than it worked. I use gcc-6.

The autogen-step gave me this:

$ ./autogen.sh
Copying file po/Makefile.in.in

Please add the files
codeset.m4 gettext.m4 glibc21.m4 iconv.m4 isc-posix.m4 lcmessage.m4
progtest.m4
from the /usr/share/aclocal directory to your autoconf macro directory
or directly to your aclocal.m4 file.
You will also need config.guess and config.sub, which you can get from
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/config/.

src/Makefile.am:65: warning: shell $(GLIB_COMPILE_RESOURCES: non-POSIX variable name
src/Makefile.am:65: (probably a GNU make extension)

I ignored it. The build was successful. Thank you!

Which packages I need to install for Arch Linux? Anyone already compiled it to this distribution?

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/fsearch-git/

from fsearch.

From AUR PKGBUILD I think this is how you build it:

git clone git://github.com/cboxdoerfer/fsearch.git
cd fsearch
./autogen.sh
./configure
make
sudo make install

from fsearch.

@cyian-1756, I will add one. Thx for the suggestion.

What distribution are you using? Then I can also figure out the exact package names and commands to install all the dependencies.

from fsearch.

@cboxdoerfer Ubuntu 16.04

@McSinyx ./configure errors out with

./configure: line 2890: syntax error near unexpected token IT_PROG_INTLTOOL' ./configure: line 2890:AX_REQUIRE_DEFINED(IT_PROG_INTLTOOL)'

from fsearch.

I wish you add instructions for fedora too.

from fsearch.

@cyian-1756 sorry I didn't test it. I have that same error on Debian testing.

from fsearch.

@cyian-1756, finally had some time to install Ubuntu to figure out the build dependencies. Instructions how to build FSearch can now be found here. I hope this works for you.

Currently they only cover Ubuntu, so I'll keep this bug report open until at least the most common distributions (Fedora, Debian, openSUSE) are mentioned too.

from fsearch.

@cboxdoerfer It works on Debian testing too, but I'm wondering if we need libpcre3 (the binary package) or not.

from fsearch.

@McSinyx, ah yes, that's not needed for building, but it's a runtime dependency. I'll update the wiki, thx.

from fsearch.

@mohd20, added instructions to build on Fedora.

from fsearch.

Any chance of instructions for Ubuntu 14.04 (as it's still a supported LTS)? Following the instructions already posted ./configure still fails with:

./configure: line 2877: syntax error near unexpected token``IT_PROG_INTLTOOL'
./configure: line 2877:``AX_REQUIRE_DEFINED(IT_PROG_INTLTOOL)'

I assume it's potentially a version issue? Would be great as I've been trying to find something like this for ages but won't be able to shift to 16.04 for a long while!

from fsearch.

That would be fantastic :)

I also get those error messages on openSUSE Tumbleweed:

./configure: line 6384: syntax error near unexpected token `-std=c11,'
./configure: line 6384: `AX_CHECK_COMPILE_FLAG(-std=c11, CFLAGS+=" -std=c11" ,'

from fsearch.

The tool works great by the way! :)
