[tubee]

Thanks for reply Rastafazz

Here is instruction page:http://gspeakers.sourceforge.net/doc/gspeakers-gtk2/linuxinstall.html

First i begin as suggested with spice install. Putted spice3f5sfix.tar.gz (/home/jw/Desktop/spice3f5sfix.tar.gz_FILES ) on desktop

Then in terminal:

jw@Pentium1800:~$ ./util/build linux install
bash: ./util/build: No such file or directory


I have send a mail to the mailadress in Sweden, it came back.

Hi,

I think you have forget to untar the archive or go to spice directory.

Here are all the steps.

go into the directory where you've downloaded spice3f5sfix.tar.gz (cd directory_name)

i will assume it is spice here

and run to following

cd spice
tar xvzf spice3f5sfix.tar.gz
cd spice3f5sfix
./util/build linux

let me know how it goes.

ps: if you can't go to the right directory

add this three commands and start again from cd spice

wget http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/apps/spice3f5sfix.tar.gz
mkdir spice
cp spice3f5sfix.tar.gz spice/

Well, it was some work, also for the machine😀 Never seen in term. something lasting that long. Think i have spice now, saw btw errors coming along. Can i check if i have spice?

These are the few last lines in terminal: (post all will diyaudio's site allmost explode!)I saved the whole in an editer forpossible referral

The wget didn't work, he could not find package (even after he found site)

 

[rastafazz]

No, spice won't work.

It seems that libtermcap is missing.

Let me check which package has it.

[rastafazz]

Hi again,

Compiling spice seems to need more than just libtermcap.

There is an easier way. I've tried it on my machine and it seems to be ok: gpeakers launched successfully and it could have a curve.

You need to install these packages if you don't have them already

libxml2-dev
libgtkmm-2.4-dev
automake1.7
gnucap

then download gspeakers

tar xvzf gspeakers-0.11.tar.gz
cd gspeakers-0.11
./configure
make
sudo make install
and then

gspeakers to run it.

Let me know if you have any problem with this.

Thank you for helping me on the way Stephan, it's allmost done i guess.
First i checked in synaptic and added libgtkmm-2.4-dev and automake1.7, rest i had allready.

With gspeakers install he missed some other applications:

--------------------------------------------
jw@Pentium1800:~$ cd /home/jw/Desktop/gspeakers-0.11
jw@Pentium1800:~/Desktop/gspeakers-0.11$ ./configure

See `config.log' for more details.
jw@Pentium1800:~/Desktop/gspeakers-0.11$
-------------------------------------------

Btw i copied-pasted gspeakers-0.11 from desktop, and removed the ¨, and enter. This is the way i learned here: http://monkeyblog.org/ubuntu/installing/

C++ misses, and i think all the 'no' answered items are from spice, but not sure.

 

[rastafazz]

you need to install g++ packages to be able to compile
or if you want to make thing easier i can send you a precompiled package.

ps: if you install gnucap you don't need to compile the other spice package.

 

[tubee]

I didn't succeed, i think first to install spice again, gspeakers seeks for crossover items in terminal
I will be away for a week.

 

[rastafazz]

if you have installed gnucap with the package manager , you won't the other spice package.

pm me your email address and i will make a precompiled gspeakers for you.

[tubee]

I have Gnucap indeed.

Ok will send a mail. Thanks.
But enable mail receive please then😉

 

[rastafazz]

Hi,

You can get the precompiled package here : http://rastafazz.googlepages.com/

then do

tar xvzf gspeakers-0.11_compiled.tar.gz
cd gspeakers-0.11
cd src
./gspeakers &

before this you need to have

libgtkmm-2.4 and gnucap.


--------------------------------------------

to compile yourself you need to install g++ package (and the ones i've mentionned in the previous post (post 7))

i've tried on a fresh installed machine.

[tubee]

I have it. Thanks!

 

[tubee]

Have it on 2 machines now. Thanks a lot Stephan.

Btw can i make a faster executor to load it instead of in terminal?

An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.

right click on the screen and choose create launcher.
