[Solved] Installing on Ubuntu 8.10

How do I get v1.72.2 to install on Ubuntu 8.10 without compiling from source? The repositories only have v1.65.

Oh, I forgot to say it's 64-bit Ubuntu

The development test versions are available for all platforms from the link below:

For Linux, you will need to download oolite-1.72.2.x86.v2.package.

This package is for 32bit architecture, only!

64bit package distros are in our near future plans. For the moment you will have
to build from source. Instructions can be found here.

I tried to follow those instructions and it all worked until the final "make debug=no" step, where I got this Error:

avery@ubuntu:~/Oolite-dev/1.72.2$ make debug=no
GNUmakefile:1: /common.make: No such file or directory
GNUmakefile:31: /objc.make: No such file or directory
make: *** No rule to make target `/objc.make'. Stop.

How do I fix this?

I got the same error on my 32bit Ubuntu. Apparently, something is wrong with the GNU install, although I suspect we both did it as asked.

It seems that you miss the GNUstep environment variables.
Try the following, in a terminal:

Code: Select all

echo $GNUSTEP_MAKEFILES

It should return something like '/usr/share/GNUstep/Makefiles'.

Have you appended to your ".bashrc" file (in your home directory) the following?

Code: Select all

#GNUSTEP Environment vars
. /usr/share/GNUstep/Makefiles/GNUstep.sh

That command echoed a blank but I checked and I had appended that to the end of .bashrc . What do I do now?

Exit the terminal, and open it again to force your .bashrc to execute.

Thanks, its working now

Cool.

I have updated the instructions so as to clearly indicate that ".bashrc" execution is necessary.

Case closed.
