[Gambas-user] Gambas3 compilation problem

[Jussi Lahtinen]

Hi!
Back from vacation...
And new information about my compilation problems.
I've done this (@ Ubuntu 8.10 64bit, NOTICE! with libtool 2.2.4):

1. Remove Gamas2.9 with synaptic.

2. Download Gambas2.10.2.

3. Extract it to /usr/src

4. sudo ./configure -C

5. sudo make

6. sudo make install

 And everything seems to work perfectly!
 (Except I don't remember where I can find Gambas icon for the shortcut...)

So, now I'm planning to send output of compilation to you, but first...
I think that command;
( ./configure; make; make install ) > output.txt 2>&1
Isn't right for me. Because I'm very new to linux I'm not sure how to fix it.

I think;
( sudo ./configure -C;sudo make;sudo make install ) > output.txt 2>&1
or
sudo ( ./configure -C; make; make install ) > output.txt 2>&1

But I prefer to be sure what I'm doing with sudo... so enlighten me.
Also I didn't quite understand what that -C does (taken from
http://gambas.sourceforge.net/  section "README").

Maybe ./reconf and libtool 2.2.4 doesn't mix well... I don't know, and
I still have problems compiling Gambas3, as
I explained at previous message.


Thank you, and very happy new year to you all !!!


Jussi
