X11-Basic / Discussion / LINUX flavours: Compilation of X11 Basic for Linux

bruno xxx - 2018-02-11

hello,

I try to compile X11 basic 1.25 but I doesn't work for exemple on Mint 18.X

I do a
sudo apt-get install libx11-dev libreadline-dev libc6-dev
before with success

but libreadline.so.7 require by X11 Basic seems to be too recent for some distribs

I try to find libreadline 7 https://pkgs.org/download/libreadline.so.7 but there are only few distrib with this version and when I try to install, there are some dependances that can be a problem for my distrib (and other distribs I think)

Have you an idea ?

thanks

The .deb distrib has the same problem of dependency when I try to launch xbasic

Configuring X11-Basic with following features:
Install prefix: /usr/local
Cryptographic features = no
Small RAM version = no
German version = no
Produce only static libraries = no
Use X Window system = yes
Use SDL library = no
Use framebuffer = no
Use readline library = yes
Support USB = yes
Support bluetooth = yes

checking for xbasic... ok
You seem to have x11basic already installed ! But I'll continue the configuration
process. Testing X11-Basic Verison:
xbasic: error while loading shared libraries: libreadline.so.7: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
checking for gcc... gcc
checking whether the C compiler works... yes
checking for C compiler default output file name... a.out

Hm, this sounds a little strange, becaause when you compile X11-Basic it should produce a binary that uses the readline library in exactly that version which is present at compile time. And if it was missing, it sould not use it at all.

The error comes from the already installed x11basic. If you want to compile it from its sources it would be better to uninstall any broken version of X1-Basic which came from a .deb installation.

hi, I removed deb package with dpkg -r x11-basic. After It's better for readline problem but a make install still not work (./configure is ok)

Hi Bruno,
The compilation worked,just the installation had a problem, because the directory for the icons is not there. You can ignore that. x11basic should work anyways.

Maybe you just want to create that directory by hand
sudo mkdir /usr/local/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps/

and try again.
