Mageia forum

First, I must say I am new to linux and to Mageia. I downloaded a tar.gz (xiphos bible software) file and unzipped it to its own folder. I then opened the terminal and attempted to configure. The following is the error message:

Code: Select all

[root@localhost xiphos-4.0.2]# ./waf configure --prefix=/usr --debug-level=optimized
Linux detected
Check for program g++ or c++             : not found
/home/live/xiphos-4.0.2/wscript:162: error: The program ['g++', 'c++'] is required


I would assume that the "g++ or c++ program did not download with the initial unzip. Any help would be appreciated

Bibletime does not suit your needs?

For your question, simply install a compiler, you probably should install task-c++-devel

Please first read https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Installing_a ... rrectly.3F
and maybe https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Install_medi ... _beginners
to get started with software management in Mageia.

Thank you for your help, I installed compiler and then ran "./waf configure" again and the following is the the "fail" messages displayed:

I think that's pretty clear. It needs library version newer then 3.12 and newer then 3.14 and you only have 3.10.6 installed, so you cannot compile it on Mageia 4.

You are missing a package which contains at least the pkgconfig file libgtkhtml-4.0.pc and the relevant headers - either lib64gtkhtml4.0-devel or libgtkhtml4.0-devel.

Same as above, you either need lib64gtkhtml4.0-devel or libgtkhtml4.0-devel
