ok I am trying to compile a package from source of Mac-on-linux and test out this program for myself.

I am a noob and am not sure what I am doing wrong

see when I try to make I get these errors

I am on Arch64 with an amazing hightech machine

I have never installed something from source and need a little guide tohelp me

I am not sure if u just want to compile the program or you want to compile it with abs.

If its just compiling, then read the BUILDING file in the source. It has the instructions.

Building MOL from the source tarball:
======================================
This is very simple just do
bash$ ./autogen.sh
bash$ make
bash$ make install (as root)
During the compilation, a configuration menu will appear allowing various
optional features to be turned on or off. It is possible to revisit this
menu later by issuing 'make menuconfig'. The 'make defconfig' command
sets the default configuration.

If you want to compile with abs, then you have to get the PKGBUILD and then makepkg

Hope this helps.

ok this is what I get

the first error I get is

I don't have amd64 processor is that is what it wants.

Just a quick question:
This is how you install the program right?
you compile then install?

Is there any other way to install this or should I just try to trouble shoot the best I can?
I could try ABS, but I am really new to the building from source thing.

otacon · 2008-12-04 17:50:56

I would feel alot better if I heard of someone who has gotten this to work for them.

If you are out there please make me feel better and say you have it working.

also I would like to thank you for responding so quickly and thank the future responders for trying to help me

mol is not in any of the repos. Where did you get it from?

Abs is of no use here.

otacon · 2008-12-04 21:39:36

I looked it up on google as Mac-on-Linux and got and got it here
http://sourceforge.net/projects/mac-on-linux/

it has been put at a stand still for the past year or so with almost no updates except there seems to be one guy maintaining it.

I was hoping to install it and get into updating it once I learn more from my Computer Science classes.

I am very new and was hoping to learn about the program itself by trial and error

but in order to do that I need to atleast have the original working model

Sorry that I am in the wrong section. I didn't realize there was a difference between compiling from source and pkgbuilds

I thought you compiled the source into a pkgbuild then installed it with ABS onto Arch.

For now Since building from source didn't work as it should have. I would like to learn how to trouble shoot source build problems and fix it inorder to get it working. Well if that is possible.

If the build doesn't work how it says it should is it fixable or should I just give up?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I am sorry I am editing these posts so much but I am just so excited about Arch linux. I just want to know everything, but the wikis seem choppy and confusing. After I get this working I really with to make a package out of it to put in a repos for everyone to enjoy. I believe that this project would benefit the mac-linux users like me alot. there are alot of good programs we give up when, like me, we give up our entire hard disk to Arch.

I love Arch.
I love you guys
I want to learn, and make this os as good as I, a plain old noob user, can help make it.

Are you running 64-bit arch? The part thats failing is where it is trying to build a kernel module and it seems to have detected that you are running a 64bit system however the source only has spec files for ppc, osx and x86.

It would build for me in a 32-bit chroot but the 'make install' step failed since it tries to create a directory `./obj-x86/lib/modules' that it can't, its probably fixable though if you were to dig through the Makefiles.

otacon · 2008-12-08 04:38:42

thank you I did come to this conclusion when revisiting the MOL sight.

I will come back to this once I gain more knowledge about the linux system and how to trouble shoot
