gcc errors - need help

gcc errors - need help

[Raman M]

Hello,
I am encountering the following errors while building the gnu product(s)

1. when trying to build glib
../glib-2.12.4/configure --prefix=/usr/local/gtk
produces the following error
checking for msgfmt... no
configure: error:
*** You must have either have gettext support in your C library, or use the
*** GNU gettext library. (http://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/gettext.html

2. so I downloaded the gettext source and began to build it,
The configure command executes fine.
When I then follow it with a make install, I get the following error after 
some time.
Making install in intl-csharp
make[2]: Entering directory 
`/root/debs/extracts/gettextobj/gettext-runtime/intl-csharp'
/bin/sh ../lib/csharpcomp.sh -O -g -o GNU.Gettext.dll 
../../../gettext-0.14/gettext-runtime/intl-csharp/intl.cs
C# compiler not found, try installing pnet, then reconfigure
make[2]: *** [GNU.Gettext.dll] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory 
`/root/debs/extracts/gettextobj/gettext-runtime/intl-csharp'
make[1]: *** [install-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/debs/extracts/gettextobj/gettext-runtime'
make: *** [install-recursive] Error 1

3.and when I try building glibc, I get the following error

make[1]: *** No rule to make target 
`/root/debs/extracts/glibcobj/Versions.all', needed by 
`/root/debs/extracts/glibcobj/abi-versions.h'.  Stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/debs/extracts/glibc-2.4'


I will much appreciate help in helping get over these hurdles.
many thanks in advance

regards
Raman

Wrong list.  This is for help using gcc.  Your question doesn't have
anything to do with gcc but with building certain packages, each of
which are independant and unrelated projects and have their own mailing
lists.

glib is part of GTK+.  http://www.gtk.org/mailinglists.html

Hi Raman,

> thanks, and sorry for bothering you with inappropriate questions

It's not that the questions are inappropriate in-as-much as the collective
expertise on this forum isn't concentrated in the domains you are interested
in.

As I read it, the intent of Brian's response was not to chastise you, but to
help you find the answers you seek from knowledge-experts in the domains you
are inquiring about.

Sincerely,
--Eljay
