[SOLVED]Compiling a program from source (Tomoe)

I'm trying to compile Tomoe: http://tomoe.sourceforge.jp/cgi-bin/en/blog/index.rb
It is a handwriting recognition tool for East Asian languages. For those of you familiar with them, you'd know that there are some characters that are just so obscure you can't type them with your IME and the only way to input them is with a handwriting recognition program. (Browsing a unicode character map is only something a madman can do) MS has one built in their IME, but I've had to live by copying things from wiktionary up until now on Linux, and I think this program might be my saving grace if I can get it working.
I would want to make a PKGBUILD, but I really have no experiance with that kind of stuff at all, so I'm going to try to compile it from source the old fashioned way at least. I figured if it installs things into /usr/local/ by default it won't mess up with pacman too much.
However I'd need 3 packages. One for tomoe, another for tomoe-gtk, and another for scim-tomoe. And the 3rd depends on the 2nd which depends on the 1st. I installed tomoe fine with ./configure && make && make install, but when I try to install tomoe-gtk I get an error at ./configure:
checking for TOMOE... configure: error: Package requirements (tomoe >= 0.4.0) were not met:
No package 'tomoe' found
Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.
Alternatively, you may set the environment variables TOMOE_CFLAGS
and TOMOE_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.
Of course I know that I installed tomoe, slocate gives me:
(It gave me more stuff too, but they are all in the build directory in my home so I excluded them.)

I've tried:
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/tomoe:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH
And neither of those seemed to work so I then set TOMOE_CFLAGS and TOMOE_LIBS and it indeed avoided the need to call pkg-config and the configure script went on, but I got the same problem for gucharmap, which I tried installing with pacman and then starting a new session, but it still didn't work so I had to set the environment variables to skip it and then the configure script finished, but make not so surprisingly failed.
So what should I do to get this to compile?

Hello there, sokuban... just wanted to tell you that i have uploaded
scim-tomoe, tomoe, tomoe-gtk and uim-tomoe-gtk PKGBUILD's to the AUR.
... would be good if someone could test the pkgbuilds
out to see so everything works as it should.
tomoe-gtk had to be compiled without gucharmap. from what i could see the tomoe-gtk is not compatible with the latest version of gucharmap...
Thanks! The tomoe packages installs and works perfectly.
But now I've got another little problem. For some strange reason they decided that it would only load a dictionary when the locale is set to Chinese or Japanese. My computer currently runs on a ms_MY.utf-8 locale and while I wouldn't really mind putting it to ja_JP.utf-8 I'd prefer it if there is a way I can make it so that tomoe is always run with a Japanese locale no matter what locale the rest of my system is because I often randomly change it.
While I can directly run:
$ LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8 scim-tomoe
from a terminal and the dictionaries are loaded fine, I'd end up only being able to write in the terminal itself which is pretty useless. Right clicking on the scim icon and selecting handwriting recognition will give me the ms_MY version which doesn't have any dictionaries loaded.
Anyone know a way to do it?
EDIT: So I tried setting my whole locale to Japanese. Only problem is, Thunar has a bug with Japanese. Maybe its because the Japanese name for filesystem is too long, but the sidebar is stuck out too much and cannot be pushed in. Also since it is so long my filesystem icon on my desktop can't display its whole name, I wouldn't really call that a bug, but it isn't pretty to look at.
And I just noticed but xfce terminal fonts are messed up too. I'm too lazy to fix all this so I'm going back to English now. It would probbably be much easier to find a way to always run only this program with a Japanese locale than fix all the problems I'm getting with the whole system in a Japanese locale.
EDIT2: Solved by running scim itself in ja_JP.UTF-8 (why didn't I think of this earlier?).

Easy it may be, but it is also incredibly dangerous. I find it terrifying that people even think of doing this.
I don't know which tutorials you are reading but the Beginners' Guide clearly includes this step as the first one to complete after rebooting into your new system:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Be … management
You should do the minimum necessary as root. You should only ever perform a task as root if (1) the task cannot be performed with less privileges, (2) you understand exactly what the task is designed to accomplish AND (3) you understand why it needs to be performed with root privileges.
While I admit that most do not go this far, I do not compile code with an account which is even in wheel. That means I don't compile even as my regular user - let alone root.
I guess I have just gotten lucky so far. Thanks for your advise.

Compiling a package from source files

I am trying to install a package from source files. The installation instructions for this package say that I should just download the scripts to one directory, enter the correct paths in the Makefile (which comes with the package) and run "make".
The problem is that while the g++ compiler is there on my computer
(there is a binary called g++ located at
/Developer/usr/bin/g++
I am not sure if that is the real compiler. Or where the c header files are, for instance, I can't find math.h, or stdio.h or any of the other standard files.
Any help will be greatly appreciated. I am very new to command lines, so please explain as you would to a five year old.
To help with specifics, I edited the Makefile so that the first part looks like:
#MATLABDIR ?= /usr/local/matlab
# for Mac
MATLABDIR ?= /Applications/MATLAB_R2008b.app
CXX ?= g++
#CXX = g++-4.1
CFLAGS = -Wall -Wconversion -O3 -fPIC -I$(MATLABDIR)/extern/include
Thanks a ton for the help

Your compiler program is gcc. (/usr/bin/gcc).
http://gcc.gnu.org/
in terminal type (at the prompt):
gcc --version
(press return)
should output the following:
i686-apple-darwin10-gcc-4.2.1 (GCC) 4.2.1 (Apple Inc. build 5646) (dot 1)
Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
This is free software; see the source for copying conditions. There is NO
warranty; not even for MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
If it does, your compiler is alive and kicking and ready for action, if not, reinstall developer tools
package from your SL install DVD.
The usual ritual for compiling is to drag the directory containing the source code to your desktop,
then, in terminal, change terminal path to the source directory using the change directory command
"cd".
example; say I have a program called cdrtools 2.0.1 and the source is in a folder I dragged to my
desktop called cdrtools_2.0.1:
In terminal i would type:
cd /Users/kj/Desktop/cdrtools_2.0.1
Follow the instructions that come with the package. Typically they will tell you to:
./configure
( Many packages have a configure script which will query your system and configure themselves
appropriately. Not supported by all software).
make
( Compile the software. Some require a file name to build such as make foo. make reads a file
normally called Makefile for what commands to run).
make install
( Install the software. Typically packages will put themselves in /usr/local. Run as root).
That is the usual ritual, but you must follow the instructions that come with the software, as they
may vary.
Read documentation!
Look for files called: INSTALL, README, SETUP, or similar.
For more information see the following:
http://luv.asn.au/overheads/compile.html
Now beware that some source code written before Snow Leopard was released may not compile
properly on SL, because of SL's 64Bit gcc extensions. If the source has not been updated to run
under the Snow Leopard compiler, then the compilation may fail.
IF the program fails to compile, or fails to run after compiling, then most likely, then the source
may need updating.
good luck, and don't pull all your hair out at once. Save some for later.
The guys in the 'NIX forum can help you with all the grizzly details as you go on your quest.

Idoc sending program from source port

Hi Experts,
I am sending the Idoc through customized program. I am getting the status 03 & 30. successfully sent to external system.
Is there any standard program to send the Idoc from source port to destination port.
Thanks and regards,
Venkatraman.N

Run RBDMOIND, then idoc will get the status 12 -Dispatch ok. status 12 is the confirmation that idoc was reached target system.

[SOLVED} How to install from source

Hi,
I'm trying to install Wittfella's qtfm from source and I have no idea how to do it. Previously I've used ./configure and make install.
What is the install process for Arch?

This http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AUR_Helpers
If you look into PKGBUILDs you see the good old './configure && make install' but by using pacman you don't have to worry about dependencies and if you remove the installed app, it gets removed all the way, no garbage left behind.

[Solved] Launching Graphical Programs From The Terminal

Occasionally I launch graphical programs from the terminal and they usually spit out what they're doing in the background, I know you can send this output to /dev/null but is there a way to have that is the default setting (ex. not having to type &> /dev/null each time) and then somehow turn console output back on when I want to debug something? I tried creating an alias but that didn't work.

I've never compiled that docs stuff for myself so cant say how long it takes, but if you need only new kernel26 package you can safely wipe out that lines from PKGBUILD.
wow, thats good to hear. Took ages compiling with it there.

Compiling Java program from other java program

Hi,
How can I compile and capture the compilation result from another java program?
Thanks

As if I had seen somewhere a hint about being able to
programatically compile with the help of the class
sun/tools/javac/Main found in the tools.jar.I saw that article, too, but when I took a look at the JDK's source code, it became apparent that none of the classes in tools.jar are supported. Your program could break with any new version of the JDK.

Compiling a program from a Java application

Hello,
I'm new to Java and i'm developing an application which takes in a Java source code (.java) and compiles (to create the '.class' file. However I dont know HOW i could use my Java program to compile the source code file.
I did a google search and found out that there is a com.sun.tools.javac.Main.Compile method to compile the source code. When i put this line into my code and i compile it, it says:
package com.sun.tools.javac.Main doesn't exist (assuming i need to have a package for it).
Does anyone know how I can resolve this? or know any good useful references I can read on the web?
note that i'm using Java 6.
Any help would be good. Thanks.

Hi,
Note that your question was posted in the wong forum. It's not related to reflection.
What you tried to use is JDK version dependent, you should instead use the new Compiler API that's available if you are using Java 6.

    printfU(cU("%s
"),s2);
    return 0;
The compiling command is
cc -DSAPwithUNICODE -I ../rfcsdkU/include -L ../rfcsdkU/lib sample.c -o sample -lrfcu -lC
to compile.
Then the error information comed:
"sample.c", line 7.24: 1506-045 (S) Undeclared identifier U16LIT_cU.
"sample.c", line 7.27: 1506-275 (S) Unexpected text string literal encountered.
"sample.c", line 10.16: 1506-276 (S) Syntax error: possible missing ')'?
I hope someone can tell me how I can get it through.

[solved]Problem compiling alsa from source

I'm trying to install alsa-driver-1.0.18a from source because I need to compile it with snd-virtuoso. So I run "./configure --with-cards=virtuoso --with-sequencer=yes" then when I run "make" I get this at the end of it.

edit: I tried compiling it on another computer and it was able too...not sure why mine wont. Although I do seem to remember possibly forgetting to uninstall it before making it again (after kernel upgrade)...I've tried multiple times to compile so far. Is there someway I can get a list of things to delete to manually remove all remnants of a previous install of alsa-driver?

Ok I ended up compiling the kernel from source for something else, so I tried compiling the alsa driver from source and it worked...maybe something was leftover in the previous kernel source directory that was causing problems.

Installing Software from Source

This question might sound a little bit retarded, but I'm just starting out, so I'd appreciate a little bit of help. I'm trying to install software from source, but it does not seem to work. Or at least, not for lynx, so I'm wondering if pacman is the only way of installing software on Arch (which I pretty much doubt).
I've downloaded lynx, unarchived it, went into its directory, and typed ./configure, followed by make and make check. Everything seemed OK, as I have even got the "Welcome to Lynx!" message. So I went on and typed sudo make install, and no errors occurred. But when I tried launching it with lynx, it said the command is not found. What am I doing wrong?
Also, one more thing: when I loose the prompt, how do I get it back? I mean, like this (http://bit.ly/4tkurS)
Thanks in advance!

I've got lynx through pacman before, but this time I wanted to get my foot wet with installing programs from source, as, in fact, I don't need lynx at all. I'll look more into it as soon as I get other things I want to built from source.
This isn't really arch specific. Installing from source without using the package system is a bad idea(tm) on (almost) any distro. Only the method used to create a package differs.
Edit: not that you "learn GNU/Linux" by compiling anyway. The best way to learn GNU/Linux is just to use it, and to read. There are several good books on the kernel, init systems, userland basics and so on.
