bakefile: command not found on Ubuntu Topic is solved

[prashantkn94]

HI,
I downloaded bakefile version - 1.2.5.1 source . Extracted it , Installed Sphinx, pytest and ran make command. However when I run bakefile command I get command not found error. Please tell me what's going on here.

Thank you !

Did you install the command?

Code: Select all

make install

Would be my guess on how to install it.

Code: Select all

make: *** No rule to make target `intall'.  Stop.

Hi,

It would help if you explained more about how you built bakefile. For example, you don't mention running 'configure'. Did the build seem to work?

What you should have done is something like:
./configure --prefix=/usr
make -j
sudo make install

If you don't specify a destination with --prefix, it will be installed by default to /usr/local/

Regards,

David

Hi,
README file inside bakefie-1.2.5.1 doesn't ask us to run ./configure command. Moreover there is no configure file in the directory. However I tried running the command and got this.

Code: Select all

bash: ./configure: No such file or directory 

Thank you

Ah, you're trying to build/run the 'new' bakefile. I didn't read carefully enough and assumed this was about the 'legacy' bakefile 0.2.9, the version used by wxWidgets (and by me).

As you say, there is no 'configure' supplied. From the README and the makefile it looks as if you aren't are supposed to install anything.

I downloaded the git source and built it; there was no visible executable file called bakefile. The documentation failed to help at all!
However there is a symlink called bkl and, after a look in one of the 'binary' tarballs, it seems that you are supposed to do something like:
./bkl /path/to/your/foo.bkl
where foo.bkl is the file you want to 'bake'.

I tried this using my legacy .bkl file and it 'worked' in that I got a 'wrong version' error message.
