I'm trying to get the samples to work in ubuntu 7.04 - I downloaded and build the source according to instructions, it seemed to work. When I go to the samples dir, say, 'sample/aui' I type
make -f makefile.unx
and it compiles and builds what I guess is an executable file named 'auidemo'. Typing auidemo from the command line yields:
bash: auidemo: command not found
and it doesn't working clicking on it from nautilus. What's the deal?
linux noob - trying to compile samples Topic is solved
these are unix questions (or in your case linux questions) ...
when you type a "command" in linux, it looks in the path to find a matching executable. putting a "./" in front of the name of the executable tells the shell to look in the current directory for the executable.
the other error just means it can't find the shared library it needs to run. you either need to install the library or fix your environment variables so the library can be located by the executable.

Hi,

i think it is the same problem:Ansible wrote:The 'auidemo' file has execute permission. typeing ./auidemo gets this:
./auidemo: error while loading shared libraries: libwx_gtk2_aui-2.8.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

You don't have a current dir (./) in the PATH.Ansible wrote: Why would ./auidemo be different from plain 'auidemo'? That makes no sense to me.

Hi!
First of all you wouldn't need the makefile.unx. The normal process would be to run configure and have it generate a makefile for you.
Simply try the following:
1. Extract the sources to a dir
2. go to that dir on the console
3. create a subdir (if you like), like "mkdir build_gtk"
4. go to that dir
5. call "../configure" (pass the options you need. To see available options, call "../configure --help")
6. wait until configure is done
7. do a "make"
8. grab a coffee and wait
9. once it finishes do a "make install"
10. go to a sample dir (like samples/minimal)
11. do a "make"
12. start the app "./minimal"
I suppose the problem might be that you did not installed the shared libs (make install). If you already build everything properly you could try to do that instead of recompiling everthing.

Ok I thought this issue was behind me, but now I'm trying to get a project to build in eclipse. All seems to be well, it builds fine, but I get the same error:
./TestCPPProj: error while loading shared libraries: libwx_gtk2_aui-2.8.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I read another post that said I should type in this at the console to solve the problem:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=[wxdir]/lib
but that doesn't seem to help. There must be a way for it to compile correctly; the makefiles in buildgtk/samples work. Thx for any suggestions...
