Hello,
Hi!
Im’ new to linux and not 100% if what I’m doing is correct. I’m
attempting to compile gnubg on what I believe is a Fedora core 4
system. I’ve downloaded the 0.13 source files from
ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/gnubg.
Wrong start.... The tarball at alpha.gnu is antique.
You should rather do:
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/sources/gnubg co gnubg
Now then, what I need is to be able to compile gnubg with only the CLI.
I **think** gnubg can be compiled so that it can only use the
commandline. To do that, I’ve done is ran the following command after I
unzipped everything.
configure --without-gtk --without-gtk2 --without-x
Yes, I believe this should do. But I think you need some automake magic
first, at least if you check out from cvs.
if this would then complete, and not hang on the following error, I
think we’d be gold. But as it is, I get an error =/
checking for GLIB - version >= 2.0.0... no
*** Could not run GLIB test program, checking why...

*** You must have installed Glib1 or Glib2 in order to

Yes, this is true. GNU Backgammon requires glib to compile, even if
you're not compiling with the GUI.
At this point I tried installing multiple versions of of glib that were
anywhere from 2.10 – 2.13, but everytime, the configure refused to
acknowledge that it had been installed.
Any modern Linux distribution has glib runtime libs installed. Maybe
there is a development rpm you're missing?
