Configu Error: Expected An Absolute Directory Name For --prefix: -prefix=/home/jeo

hi all,
I am new to cross compilation .I am trying to cross compile ntp for arm based zync soc board. so i have downloaded ntp source code version ntp-4.2.8-p2

i gave options for confiure file like this ./configure --host=arm-xilinix-linux-gnueabi --build=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu --prefix=/home/sntp CC=arm-xilinx-linux-gnueabi-gcc -with-yeilding-select=yes
configuration is succesful but when i am going for make it is throwing an error like this

I tried to install bluegriffon. Didn't work with apt-get install (error: unable to locate package bluegriffon).
I installed compiler (with apt-get install build-essential)
then I unpacked the "bluegriffon-1.7.2.Ubuntu13.04.x86_64.tar.bz2" that I downloaded from their website
then I changed to bluegriffon folder with the unpacked files and I tried to compile the package but the "./configure command" did not work (error : -su: ./configu No such file or directory)
What should I do now?

Code:

PREFIX=192.168.1
OCTET=1
while [ $OCTET -lt "255" ]; do
    echo -en "Pinging ${PREFIX}.${OCTET}..."
    ping -c1 -w1 ${PREFIX}.${OCTET} > /dev/null 2>&1
    if [ "$?" -eq "0" ]; then
       echo "OK"
    else
       echo "Failed"
    fi
    let OCTET=$OCTET+1
done

My question is, in the penultimate line, why is it OCTET, and not $OCTET, with a dollar before it, meaning, the variable?

What if it were written:
Code:

let $OCTET=$OCTET+1

Like in C++ (I think) or Python or whatever?

Hello, I am trying to implement this script, but for some reason, it limits to pinging 192.1681.1 and then 192.168.1.2 infinitely.
Any idea what is wrong with it? Thanks!

Hi everyone, I hope you're all well, I've made a pretty stupid error and I hope someone can help, thanks for your time.

So, I had been warned by gnome and my package manager that my HDD was full which didn't seem right so I decided to look at Gnome's 'Disk Usage Analyzer' which made the problem appear obvious. There was apparently a complete 1.5TB copy of my home directory in the /srv/nfs/ directory, now I don't have much use for NFS anymore and I needed to install some software so I thought the solution was quite straightforward , I cd'ed to /srv/nfs/ and rm -rf'ed the directory and figured that I would fix nfs at a later date. Now this seems to have deleted my actual home directory, which is completely empty and it looks to me like I've lost ~1.5TB of data.
So firstly, Is it actually this operation which deleted my home directory or did I manage to do this at some other point with some other command?
And secondly do I have any chance of recovering files? I tried to unmount the partition when I realised what I had done but I kept getting an error to the effect that the drive was busy at which point I rebooted and got the same error, so I unplugged the machine. Googling led me to extundelete but I don't have access to another linux machine at the moment, would this be my best chance?

Thanks again for any replies.

hi,

Because i am cross compiling busybox for an arm board and can't install directy busybox on it (it don't have apt-get/sudo/make) i tried to compile busybox with arm-linux-gcc and "make" it in a custom directory with /usr/ /bin/ sbin/ this way i could copy paste the folder and the exe in a clean root and transfert this root to my board.

Sadly i don't seems to be able to change the installation patch.
i tried with :
Code:

make install PREFIX=/home/blabla1/blabla2/blabla3

but when going into the blabla3 folder i find no file (/usr/ /bin/ and /sbin/ are present because i created them myself).

./configure can't be used because the file don't exist.

Any idea on how i could change the installation patch ?

Hello every one
please I need your help to fix my problem to install ns2.33allinone on the ubuntu 10.10 in order to run ZRP protocol for security purpose.
before this time I install every thing correctly as follow
The steps I follow to run the ZRP on the Ubuntu 10.10 and Ns2-allinone-2.33
------------------------------------------------------------------
1. first install the Ubuntu 10.10 on VMwear and download the ns2.33 and exract it in the home directory

2.Ubuntu 10.10 - 32´ is old. you have to replace the text in /etc/apt/sources.list , to be able to install packages.
So you write
$ gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
After the file open remove all the text and past the following text instead it.
#
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick main restricted
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick multiverse universe
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick-updates main restricted
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick-updates multiverse universe
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick-backports main restricted
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick-backports multiverse universe
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick-security main restricted
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick-security multiverse universe
#

Then save the file and close.

3.Write the following command to update the system
$ sudo apt-get update

4.download the two files from the following link and save it in the home directory

gcc41-compat , `gcc41-compat-4.1.2_i386.deb' :
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7S...it?usp=sharing
g++41-compat , `g++41-compat-4.1.2_i386.deb' :
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7S...it?usp=sharing

5.write the following command to install
$ sudo dpkg -i g++41-compat-4.1.2_i386.deb gcc41-compat-4.1.2_i386.deb

6.write the following command to update the packages
$sudo apt-get install libx11-dev libxmu-dev libxmu-headers libxt-dev libtool make automake autoconf g++

7. Download the ZRP from the following link and put it in the ns-allinone-2.33 directory
The latest "patch package" is zrp-ns233-patching.tar.gz
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7S...it?usp=sharing

8. After that you should follow the next steps
$ cd ns-allinone-2.33/
$ tar xvf zrp-ns233-patching.tar.gz
$ export CC=gcc41 CXX=g++41
$ ./install
$ cd ns-2.33/
$ sudo make install

9. Then you can download the example of the ZRP from the following link and run
ZRP examples : zrp-examples-2012.tar.bz2
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7S...it?usp=sharing

but now when i try to install it again i got this error
after i run "./install" command

Dear all,

I am trying to cross compile Apache httpd-2.4.12 for ARM, but after solving some errors I arrived to a point where I get an error in the make process that I do not know how to solve it.

I am using apr-1.5.2, apr-util-1.5.4 and PCRE-8.37 which I copied to httpd-2.4.12/srclib/ with the names apr, apr-util and pcre.

For compile htttp I use:
Code:

./configure --prefix='/usr/local/apache' CC=arm-xilinx-linux-gnueabi-gcc --host=arm-xilinx-linux-gnueabi --with-included-apr ac_cv_file__dev_zero="yes" ac_cv_func_setpgrp_void="yes"C ap_cv_void_ptr_lt_long="no" ac_cv_struct_rlimit="yes"

The output is:

Hello,

I am setting up a linux server for gaming and I am using a script to update the files automatically and create a folder with a certain name.

Code:

# !/bin/bash

# A convenience function, to save us some work
update_server() {
	# Read the app id and the directory into a variable

	APP_ID=$1
	DIR=$2

	# Create the directory ( if it does not exist already )
	if [ ! -d "$HOME/$DIR" ]; then
		mkdir -p "$HOME/$DIR"
	fi

	# Uh-oh, it looks like we still have no directory. Report an error.
	if [ ! -d "$HOME/$DIR" ]; then
		# Describe what went wrong
		echo "ERROR! Cannot create directory $HOME/$DIR!"

		# Exit with status code 1 ( which indicates an error )
		exit 1
	fi

	# Call SteamCMD with the app ID we provided and tell it to install
	./bin/steamcmd.sh +login anonymous +force_install_dir "$HOME/$DIR" +app_update $APP_ID validate +quit
}

# Now the script actually runs update_server ( which we just declared above ) with the id of the application ( 4020 is Garry's Mod ) and the name of the directory we want the server to be hosted from:

update_server 4020 "gmodserver"

exit 0

When I run this script, it creates 2 folders on my server : gmodserver and gmodserver? There is no files downloaded in gmodserver. All the files are downloaded in gmodserver?

I looked for a few hours on how to solve this problem but I have no idea what the added ? might be so I am lost as to what to look for. Could you help me on figuring this out?

Thank you.

edit : I am using ubuntu 15.04 x64 if it makes a difference.

Trying to install software/drivers for wireless dongle on my Fedora Linux box. I have downloaded and expanded my files into my /home/me/Downloads.

In my example: /home/cjh/Downloads/LinuxDriver4Fedora_v2.5.0.3
This is where the make file is.

I run make and get an error:
"make -C /lib/modules/3.4.2-1.fc16.i686/build SUBDIRS=/home/cjh/Downloads/LinuxDriver4Fedora_v2.5.0.3/os/linux modules
make: *** /lib/modules/3.4.2-1.fc16.i686/build: No such file or directory. Stop.
make: *** [LINUX] Error 2"

The directory "/home/cjh/Downloads/LinuxDriver4Fedora_v2.5.0.3/os/linux" does exist.

What am I missing? I have run it as myself and root and get the same error.

Any assistance greatly appreciated.

TIA,
