help compiling xoscope-2.2












1














I have some experience with Ubuntu and the command line but I'm totally new to compiling. when I run ./configure I get a package requirement not met error that says gtk+ not found.



I have verified that two versions of gtk+ are installed(2+3),build-essentials are there, PKG_CONFIG_PATH is set(used apt-file search to find the path), everything that could be has been upgraded.



I've been at this for two days and have tried everything I found on the internet. I could really use some help. I apologize if this is a redundant question. Thanks in advance.

    Is the development package for GTK+ installed (libgtk2.0-dev)?

  • Yes I neglected to mention that. Thanks for your interest! I searched up and down the internet and found a lot of useful suggestions and a lot of Ubuntu documentation. I tried everything I found. Incidentally I'm running 1804 bionic beaver.

  • So, what does pkg-config --modversion gtk+-2.0 report? what version of Ubuntu are you using? If you pastebin the config.log file perhaps someone will be able to spot what's wrong.

Then do your ./configure && make

As xoscope is packaged in all supported Ubuntu versions, you should rely on the power APT.



Install package's build dependencies with



sudo apt-get build-dep xoscope


and continue as you tried.

    As mentioned on @NOrbert answer section, xoscope package available in all supported Ubuntu versions. just follow the command :



    sudo apt-get install xoscope libgtk2.0-dev


    If you install xoscope package from build source-code like this github, you should install the dependencies :



    sudo apt-get install libsx svgalib g3vga


    and try compiling your source-code again!!



    ./configure;


    Make sure when configuring the source-code, you have a log like :



    ...
    Checking: <depend-packages> is YES
    ...


    Instead



    ...
    Checking: <depend-packages> is NO
    ...


    If all the dependencies is right, you can install the .makefile files :



    make; make install;


    Hope this helps;
