nanogui: Thread: Cannot Compile 0.89pre5

Hi all,
    I am just new and have decided to try microwindows
on my old linux box, but have been unable to compile.
My configuration is: DX2-66, a vga card with 1MB,
Slackware linux 4.0 with gcc-2.7.2.3
I want to use it running native linux and nano-x. I
have used the supplied "config.svga", but when I
compile I get "no rule to make ../libnano-X.a" and it
ends with:
 make [2] *** [Subdirs]Error 2
 make [1] *** [Subdirs]Error 2
 make *** [All]Error 2

Please help

I. Shaame

Have you made any changes in microwin/src directory ?

First of all please compile
microwindows-0.89pre5.tar.gz as it is  by :-

gzip -dc microwindows-0.89pre5.tar.gz | tar xf -
cd microwin/src
make

and then 

copy config.svga config
make

if this works well then start make changes as per your
requirement.

Hope this works.

BTW , microwindows-0.89pre6.tar.gz is also available
better you use microwindows-0.89pre6.tar.gz .

Best Regards,

Jaswinder.

Thanks for the tips. Unfortunately that what's I did to start with and
it did not work. I tried both the original config and config.svga. As
for version 0.89pre6, it looks bigger to fit in one 3.5" Floppy (I
download under Window$ at work, where, of course, dowload speed is
faster than my 56K modem at home).

Any suggestions ?

Thanks

Well, the .gz file is currently larger than 3.5" flop max.  If you can
get a hold of a bzip2, then it will compress down to 1.2M

Alternatively, you could use split or tar -M to put it on two floppies
but then again that's probably not an option under Winblows.

But compilation of microwindows is not a problem
atleast for native window , please check your gcc .
And do one thing in config file :-
set
VERBOSE                  = Y
for seeing what happen .

there is some problem in microwindows during make , if
some error occurs it does not quit , Dear Greg , can

As Dear Greg and Olaf Meeuwissen already gave you some
hints .

But if you face any problem , please download
fsplit2x.exe from :-

http://softseek.zdnet.com/Utilities/File_Management/File_Splitting/D_6416_index.html

This is for Windows system but for 30 days trial :-)

If you want to use bzip2 in windows then download
UnxUtils.zip from :-
http://softseek.zdnet.com/Utilities/General/D_31217_index.html

This is free , enjoy.

Best Regards,

Jaswinder.

Just throw away the never changing documentation, then it fits well on a
floppy.

If you type "make default", it will usually stop when it encounters an
error.

I used to be annoyed that the build didn't stop on an error, but now I
prefer that the whole build runs even with an error.

Thanks, I will try to remove the docs (or ftp it when my network will be
ready). But I seem to have a problem somewhere. First I don't understand why
the 0.89pre5 should not work with my computer while apparently it has worked
for others. And secondly, I have finally downloaded the 0.89pre6 at my home
computer, tried to install on my main linux computer (different from the one
I was attempting to install 0.89pre5) running Slackware 7. Here it compiles,
but I don't find which file to run so that the microwindows would show
itself. I am really frustrated because I have a park of 486 computers to
install linux and a low resource windowing system (such as microwindows)
before the 20th of this month. I also wanted to join the recent person who
posted a question about availability of Arabic support to microwindows. I
was thinking about it since a while, and I think it will be very
interesting. But it seems to be difficult to talk about it before I can even
install it!!

Thanks
Ibrahim
