Where is the Makefile

Postby sankar » 22 Jul 2005 00:08

Dear Users,
After doing ./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-wxwindows, do not find the Makefile to run make. There are two files - Makefile.am and Makefile.in, I don't know what to do with them.

Help

Then something went wrong while running configure. Try to run bootstrap first, then configure and report any error messages or warnings you encounter.

The Makefile will created ONLY if there is no error during the configure.

Try this:

./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-wxwindows 2> errors.txt

to catch the error(s) in the file "errors.txt"

Hi Darky
I have run './configure --prefix=/usr --enable-wxwindows 2> errors.txt' as suggested by you and found the following errors in the error.txt file :-

configure: WARNING: cannot find libdvbpsi headers
configure: error: Missing header file ffmpeg/avcodec.h.

I think these header files are missing but where can I find those. Any help.

Thanks
Sankar

In your root (NOT home) directory type:
find -iname "libdvbpsi"
to search the file.

(Have you installed the contrib library?)

If the header (.h) are missing, maybe the entire library are missing!
In this case you must install the library... (or install the contrib file with all the libraries)

In / (Root), I ran find -iname "libdvbpsi" , but there is no response. Possibly I didn't install it. Also where can the get the contrib file.

Additionally, FFMPEG is not installed. Install a recent CVS-version and try again.

But note that this does only work with Cygwin under Win32.
