Green Mountain Callbook needs to be compiled

  Date: Dec 03    Category: Unix / Linux / Ubuntu    Views: 376
  

I recently downloaded a program called Green Mountain Callbook. It came as a
compressed file. When I extracted it came with 18 files and needs to be
compiled from source. This is way out of my league. Can anybody help?

Go to the Green Mountain web site for instruction to compile you should
find them there.

If you think that it is out of your league then you are probably right.
Compiling programmes from source for newbies is a source of frustration and
that is about all. In the best case it can be done quite simply with three
commandline commands, but this is seldom the case. You often need to install
dependencies separately and then you will inevitably run into conflicts
because you don't have the right version number of the dependency or it will
break another application that requires the dependency that you are
overwriting, etc.

And also, don't be too intimidated. Once you find the instructions, you'll
see it's really as simple as running a few commands from the terminal. And
maybe also installing a compiler if necessary. That last is often covered
by "sudo apt-get install build-essentials"...

Did you look at the programs available in Synaptic? For example, twlog or xlog
might do what you need.

I guess I have been incredibly lucky... I had compiled a few drivers, a
game, and a chemical computation program within my first few weeks of using
ubuntu linux without any hangups. I didn't know it could be such a chore.

I already have xlog. Green Mountain is a little different.
It's sort of like QRZ without the browser.
