Thread: why can't build project in KDevelop C/C++

Hi, I'm just starting to program in linux (openSuse 10.2), trying to use KDevelop C/C++, but I even can't build a sample project. That is what I get:

cd '/usr/win/D/Mokslai/IIsIIk/PrPr/001/bnd' && WANT_AUTOCONF_2_5="1" WANT_AUTOMAKE_1_6="1" gmake -f Makefile.cvs && mkdir '/usr/win/D/Mokslai/IIsIIk/PrPr/001/bnd/debug' && cd '/usr/win/D/Mokslai/IIsIIk/PrPr/001/bnd/debug' && CXXFLAGS="-O0 -g3" "/usr/win/D/Mokslai/IIsIIk/PrPr/001/bnd/configure" --enable-debug=full && cd '/usr/win/D/Mokslai/IIsIIk/PrPr/001/bnd/debug' && WANT_AUTOCONF_2_5="1" WANT_AUTOMAKE_1_6="1" gmake -k

You need to install the "autoconf" tool. The error is pretty clear.

EDIT: Actually, wait. I think it's failing to find autoconf for some other reason. Look at this line:

Code:

./admin/cvs.sh: ./admin/detect-autoconf.pl: /usr/bin/env: bad interpreter: Permission denied

Looks like you have a messed up /usr/bin/env. Do you have Perl installed? What does the very first line of the ./admin/detect-autoconf.pl file look like?

first line of th ./admin/detect-autoconf.pl file:

Code:

#!/usr/bin/env perl

Try changing that line to:

Code:

#!/usr/bin/perl

And see if that changes anything.

It looks like your installation of /usr/bin/env is broken somehow. Does the file /usr/bin/env even exist? Is it marked executable?

after changing

Code:

#!/usr/bin/env perl

to

Code:

#!/usr/bin/perl

results are the same:

in usr/bin file env and file perl exist, and looks like executable...

Can you give the precise output of:

ls -la /usr/bin/env /usr/bin/perl

I'm at a loss, unfortunately. It looks okay.

Try putting the line:

set -x

At the very top of the ./admin/cvs.sh file. This will cause it to spew out a LOAD of information which might help.

well, not much use of that, still erors and it looks like that now:

cd '/usr/win/D/Mokslai/IIsIIk/PrPr/001/bnd' && WANT_AUTOCONF_2_5="1" WANT_AUTOMAKE_1_6="1" gmake -f Makefile.cvs && mkdir '/usr/win/D/Mokslai/IIsIIk/PrPr/001/bnd/debug' && cd '/usr/win/D/Mokslai/IIsIIk/PrPr/001/bnd/debug' && CXXFLAGS="-O0 -g3" "/usr/win/D/Mokslai/IIsIIk/PrPr/001/bnd/configure" --enable-debug=full && cd '/usr/win/D/Mokslai/IIsIIk/PrPr/001/bnd/debug' && WANT_AUTOCONF_2_5="1" WANT_AUTOMAKE_1_6="1" gmake -k

maybe in cvs.sh flile something is wrong, this scrap of code is somewhere about 34line and has something similar to error mesage:

Code:

check_autotool_versions()
{
required_autoconf_version="2.53 or newer"
AUTOCONF_VERSION=`$AUTOCONF --version | head -n 1`
case $AUTOCONF_VERSION in
  Autoconf*2.5* | autoconf*2.5* | autoconf*2.6* ) : ;;
  "" )
    echo "*** AUTOCONF NOT FOUND!."
    echo "*** KDE requires autoconf $required_autoconf_version"
    exit 1
    ;;

    echo "*** YOU'RE USING $AUTOCONF_VERSION."
    echo "*** KDE requires autoconf $required_autoconf_version"

Yes, but I think the real problem is here:

++ ./admin/detect-autoconf.pl
./admin/cvs.sh: ./admin/detect-autoconf.pl: /usr/bin/perl: bad interpreter: Permission denied

It's not even able to launch the script which tries to detect autoconf...

but what can be wrong with it??? permisions are right, I'm runing ir root user and root with both files can do everything...

Try updating your auto-tools installation.

how and from where to get it???

Your linux distro should have an update tool. I'm not sure what suse uses, it's rpm based but they likely have some sort of tool on top of that (maybe yum?). try rpm --update automake or something like that.
