I'm having problems compiling LANShare's sourcecode.
I need to compile this program because i need to use it on a 32-bit unix machine and there's no .deb or appimage release file.
This is LANShare.
As you can see there's no config file and i don't know how i can proceed with compilation.
I compiled from source many times but here there's no Readme nor instructions, then I opened an issue but there's no response yet.
Found a solution, thanks to n. 1.8e9-where's-my-share m.
Theese instructions should be valid for any Debian 10 install.
To install qt tools:
sudo apt install qt5-qmake qt5-default
then to compile:
qmake -o Makefile LANShare.pro
make
within the README.md file there is:
You can download the Ubuntu package or linux AppImage or Windows executable from the release page.
https://github.com/abdularis/LAN-Share/releases
Using .deb (Ubuntu/Debian)
download the latest version, for example lanshare_1.2.1-1_amd64.deb then open a terminal, navigate to directory where the downloaded package is located and type
$ sudo dpkg -i ./lanshare_1.2.1-1_amd64.deb

I'm trying to use the EOS CDT (contract development toolkit).
I've downloaded and installed the repository from github, and used to following commands, as indicated from the eos.io development page.
https://developers.eos.io/eosio-home/docs/installing-the-contract-development-toolkit
console commands:
wget https://github.com/eosio/eosio.cdt/releases/download/v1.3.2/eosio.cdt-1.3.2.x86_64.deb
sudo apt install ./eosio.cdt-1.3.2.x86_64.deb
I can't find the reference to the h and cpp files in ubuntut's (16.04.5) filesystem.
Where are they?
I need to reference them for compiling the test codes and the examples.
I'm also using visual studio code ide.
Based on Botje's comment:
"Unless the debian file is really special, you can see which files it contains (and thus installs to your filesystem) with dpkg -c eosio.cdt-1.3.2.x86_64.deb"
using the command:
dpkg -c eosio.cdt-1.3.2.x86_64.deb
The folder where the files are installed are shown:
The CDT files are stored in /usr/opt/eosio.cdt/
For MacOS users reference, when installing with Brew include paths are located at
/usr/local/Cellar/eosio.cdt/1.4.1/opt/eosio.cdt/include/
(Please use your own version instead of 1.4.1 if applicable)
I have successfully build and used cpptest on windows. Downloaded from https://sourceforge.net/projects/cpptest/. Now I want to build same on Linux platform. but I am not able to build because config.h file is not present in downloaded zip file which is used inside collectoroutput.cpp. Can anyone guide me how I can build cpptest on Linux. zip folder has INSTALL.quick file but that is not working for me. Please find attached command on linux from INSTALL.quick and error on execution that command.Command and error on execution
Download cpptest-1.1.2.tar.gz
and unpack.
$ cd cpptest-1.1.2/
$ ./configure
$ make
$ sudo make install
works fine with ubuntu 16.04
Really basic issue. I'm trying to install the Datastax Cassandra C++ driver on my Ubuntu 16.0.4 machine. It really shouldn't be that difficult. I've installed all dependencies using dpkg and installed the cassandra driver deb file. But I can't find (or #include) the cassandra.h file.
Running
$ locate cassandra.h
returns nothing and running
$ locate cassandra*
returns a whole mess of files from cqlsh, the casssandra config files, etc, but no header files for the cpp driver.
Additionally, cassandra-cpp-driver doesn't show up in dpkg -l (though apt-get and dpkg -i say it's already installed).
Any help getting this installed would be appreciated.
DataStax C/C++ Driver for Apache Cassandra is currently not available from the Ubuntu official repository.
There are .deb packages for Ubuntu which are available as mentioned in the DataStax project documentation on github datastax/cpp-driver repository from this location:
http://downloads.datastax.com/cpp-driver/
If you are using Ubuntu 16.04, the last .deb available are under ubuntu/16.04/cassandra/v2.7.0/.
You will find the cassandra.h file in cassandra-cpp-driver-dev_2.7.0-1_amd64.deb, which you need to download and install with dpkg.
The suffix dev in a Debian or Ubuntu package denotes a package meant for developing programs, containing, in particular, header files.
dpkg -i cassandra-cpp-driver-dev_2.7.0-1_amd64.deb
The header will get installed in the usual location under Linux for header files that your compiler should find without a problem: /usr/include/cassandra.h.
it will also install:
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcassandra_static.a
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pkgconfig/cassandra.pc
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pkgconfig/cassandra_static.pc
/usr/share/doc/cassandra-cpp-driver-dev/changelog.Debian.gz
/usr/share/doc/cassandra-cpp-driver-dev/copyright
which you will need for static linking and for pkgconfig to work properly.
What you may have installed is cassandra-cpp-driver_2.7.0-1_amd64.deb which contains the libcassandra.so.2.7.0 that is the shared object (dynamic) library binary file,.. although whatever you installed should indeed come in the result of a dkpg -l query such as:
dpkg -l | grep cassandra
If you installed anything from an unofficial source, I would suggest you uninstall these first, and install the provided .deb for your plaform from the official source.
Follow the documentation's instructions for making your first program with this library.
The objective is to compile a C++ program with Boost.Python in Eclipse on the OS on Linux Mint 18. In particularly, we want to run the template program:
#include<boost/version.hpp>
#include<boost/python.hpp>
#include<iostream>
using namespace std;
int main() {
cout << "My first boost program with version: " << BOOST_LIB_VERSION << endl;
return 0;
}
This personally took me quite a while to get working, so the tutorial below should serve as a one-stop-shop reference for anyone in a similar situation. Note on software used:
Boost version: 1.62.0
Python version: 2.7.12
OS: Linux Mint 18 Xfce 64-bit
Eclipse version: CDT 9.1.0 for Eclipse Neon.1
Installing Eclipse CDT
Make sure that you have Java installed. For the Java JDK (if you want to also develop Java programs), run:
sudo apt-get install default-jdk
To simply run Java programs (such as Eclipse), you can install the lighter Java JRE:
sudo apt-get install default-jre
Both JDK and JRE will work, but JDK takes up more space.
Go to CDT download webpage and download the Linux 64-bit file eclipse-cpp-neon-1-linux-gtk-x86_64.tar.gz
Assuming you downloaded the file in ~/Downloads/, run the following command to unpack ("install") Eclipse into the /opt/ directory:
sudo tar zxvf ~/Downloads/eclipse-cpp-neon-1-linux-gtk-x86_64.tar.gz -C /opt/
To create a desktop launcher icon, run
sudo gedit ~/.local/share/applications/eclipse.desktop
and in the text editor copy-paste:
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Eclipse
Type=Application
Exec=/opt/eclipse/eclipse
Terminal=false
Icon=/opt/eclipse/icon.xpm
Comment=Integrated Development Environment
NoDisplay=false
Categories=Development;IDE;
Name[en]=Eclipse
You now have Eclipse installed, but you don't need to run it yet, just keep reading and following the instructions :)
Installing Boost
The instructions are more or less given here, but for the sake of cohesion I write them here.
Download boost_1_62_0.tar.gz
Assuming you downloaded the file into ~/Downloads/, run the following command to unpack Boost into the /usr/include/ directory:
sudo tar zxvf ~/Downloads/boost_1_62_0.tar.gz -C /usr/include/
It's as easy as that - you now have Boost... but that's not all yet. Read on :)
Building Boost.Python and Boost.System
The Boost libraries Boost.Python and Boost.System must be built before they can be used. Here's how you do this:
Go into the Boost directory in your Terminal:
cd /usr/include/boost_1_62_0/
Run the command:
sudo ./bootstrap.sh --prefix=/usr/local
To build Boost.Python and Boost.System into the /usr/local/lib folder, run:
sudo ./b2 install --with-system --with-python
once the command has finished, you will find libboost_system and libboost_python (with various file endings) in /usr/local/lib
That's it for building the necessary Boost libraries. Note that any other Boost library that needs to be built can be done in the same way.
Preparing Python 2.7
Linux Mint 18 comes with Python 2.7 pre-installed. For me, running the command python --version returns the output Python 2.7.12. I'll assume this is the same for you - but probably it doesn't make a difference what the version is. However, to get our objective of the C++ program with Boost.Python to build and run, you have to execute the additional command:
sudo apt-get install python-dev
which places some additional necessary files (particularly pyconfig.h) into /usr/include/python2.7.
Installing Linux GCC
Linux GCC allows you to compile C++ programs. To install everything necessary, simply run:
sudo apt-get install build-essential
Making our program run in Eclipse
Now we've got everything configured to be able to write, build and run our program in Eclipse. So, let's do it!
Run Eclipse, either from the terminal (either by using the desktop icon we've created or by running /opt/eclipse/eclipse in the Terminal).
If it's your first time running Eclipse, you'll be prompted to choose a workspace (basically, a folder where all Eclipse project files will be stored):
Now go to File -> New -> C++ Project and enter the following and click Finish (you can use whatever Location you wish, including the default location (i.e. the one of your workspace)):
Now go to File -> New -> Source File, enter the following and click Finish:
In the main.cpp file that automatically opens in the editor, type in the program that we want to compile (note that I customized my Eclipse layout, so it looks different from the default layout you might have):
Now the secret sauce. Go to Project -> Properties -> C/C++ Build -> Settings where you will see:
Go to GCC C++ Compiler -> Includes and, using the little icon that looks like a folder with a green plus sign, add the following Include paths:
Go to GCC C++ Linker -> Libraries and add the following Libraries and Library search paths:
Press OK to close the Project Properties window.
Back in the main Eclipse window, first click the hammer icon to build the project, then the green play icon to run it (both buttons are highlighted in the below screenshot). In the console view you will first see a successful build, then the Terminal output of our program:
That's it! We've achieved our objective of building and running a C++ program with the Boost.Python library included. That's the end of this tutorial, I hope it helped you :)
I'm trying to install Boost for c++. Since I use cygwin (on Windows 7) I follow these instructions for Unix.
I start by downloading boost_1_55_0.zip from sourceforge. The instructions tell me to run tar --bzip2 -xf /path/to/boost_1_55_0.zip but this doesn't work (probably because the downloaded file is .zip and not .tar.bz2; I can't find the latter anywhere to download), so instead I use winrar and unzip it into /usr/local.
After this the header-only libraries work fine, but I need the ones where a build is necessary.
The instructions tells me to go to the boost folder and run./configure --help, but this doesn't work; I get the message -bash: ./configure: No such file or directory. So I locate the file configure in the folder /usr/local/boost_1_55_0/tools/build/v2/engine/boehm_gc, go there and try again, and this time it works: I get the help for configure.
I then try to run ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/boost_1_55_0 --enable-cplusplus but get the error message configure: error: cannot run /bin/sh ./config.sub. I try it with only one or none of the options too but that doesn't help.
Any ideas?
I don't know what guide you're following, but to install boost I have done:
cd boost
./bootstrap.sh
./b2
./b2 install
stop
As report boost doc:
If you plan to build from the Cygwin bash shell, you're actually
running on a POSIX platform and should follow the instructions for
getting started on Unix variants. Other command shells, such as
MinGW's MSYS, are not supported—they may or may not work.
