Installing application

May 8, 2005 11:46AM PDT

Dell 800 mhz
Windows Me and Suse 9.1

I am trying to install a 12 hour clock in Suse 9.1 without any sucess.

The application is wmCalClock-1.25
Installation instructions
gunzip wmCalClock-1.25.tar.gz
tar -xvf wmCalClock-1.25.tar
cd wmCalClock-1.25/Src/
make
make install (must be root)

The first three gun,tar,cd are all working from shell console. The "make" and "gmake" return an error no such command. Tried all in root console with same results.

In the wmCalClock-1.25 folder is the "Src" file with files in it. All the rest are files such as read me,install,todo,hints.

I can not get beyond the make command.
Any help would be appreciated.
Ray

Just a missing line

Programs need to be configured for your specific computer before making the project.

To do this:

_____________________________________
gunzip wmCalClock-1.25.tar.gz
tar -xvf wmCalClock-1.25.tar
cd wmCalClock-1.25
./configure
make
make install (must be root)
_____________________________________

Notice I changed line 3.
Also, I added a line (4).


_____________________________________

If something goes wrong during the configure proccess, then it's probably because you are missing a component or another program. This is called dependancy hell.

GOOD LUCK !!

Hi lilsim89

You are right problem is dependency it requires xpm library which should be on xfree86.
Its not there.
