I'm trying to make a program. When I run ./configure, this is what I get:
checking for X264... configure: WARNING:
Test application not built (x264 codec missing).
Either you have not installed x264, or you
have not installed it with the Gtk+ interface.
If you compile it from source, add these options
to configure:
--enable-shared
--enable-gtk
I have installed various packages that are related to x264 and gtk, but I'm still getting this message. Which packages do I need to install?
I used this howto to install ffmpeg and x264 on my machine...

i am trying to compile gem5 on ubuntu 20.04 OS using below command:
scons build/X86/gem5.opt -j8
i got below warning:
Warning: Header file <png.h> not found.
This host has no libpng library.
Disabling support for PNG framebuffers.
Warning: Deprecated namespaces are not supported by this compiler.
Please make sure to check the mailing list for deprecation
announcements.
Warning: Couldn't find HDF5 C++ libraries. Disabling HDF5 support
i tried below solutions:
sudo apt-get install libhdf5-dev
sudo apt-get install libpng-dev
then tried to compile gem5 again with same build command, but still getting the same warnings
I started tinkering with gnome-shell to kill time and I just can't get jhbuild to work! I followed all the instructions on the jhbuild guide on the gnome-shell wiki.
I got to the part where it says to run $ jhbuild sysdeps gnome-shell.
txjoe#superpotato:~$ jhbuild sysdeps gnome-shell
System installed packages which are new enough:
libvpx (vpx.pc, installed=1.4.0)

I installed the following packages manually
libsystemd-dev
python-poppler

And I got the same output when I ran the same command again.
I checked other answers here, nothing seems to work so far. Any tips?
You need to install the development packages. It is possible that you installed the runtime libraries, but those ones do not have the header files to compile a program.
The development libraries in Debian-based distributions end in -dev. Thus, installing libtiff5 is not enough, because it is the runtime library.
In your specific case, you must install libtiff5-dev, libpoppler-glib-dev, and libsystemd-dev.
Alternatively, you can try:
$ sudo apt-get build-dep gnome-shell
This command will install the development libraries required to build gnome-shell. At least, this might help to start with, and fix the particular issues/
I'm trying to install ImageMagick but everytime, the libpng isn't used.
When I'm running
identify -version
png does not appear in the list.
I'm retrying to install properly ImageMagick with these commands:
./configure --enable-shared
make libdir=/usr/lib64
make libdir=/usr/lib64 install
./configure --enable-shared=yes --x-libraries=/usr/lib64 --without-perl
make
make install
after in found libpng in /usr/lib64 on my system.
But after
make libdir=/usr/lib64 install
I always have this
DELEGATES = bzlib mpeg freetype jpeg lcms ps tiff x zlib
and no png is listed.
I'm still in trouble. I don't know where is my mistake.
I'm working on CentOS 6.6.
Try to add --with-modules to your configure options.
Also, inspect the output of your ./configure ... command for error and warning messages.
Most Linux distros package the runtime libraries separately from the compile-time header files. You may need to install an additional package named libpng-dev or libpng-devel to get the header files onto your system which are needed to compile ImageMagick with PNG support.
I'm trying to install a library that uses gmp and am running the ./configure on it.
So far, I've gotten past several snags, such as requiring gcc, g++, and m4 by using:
yum install gcc
yum install gcc-g++
yum install m4
Now I'm getting this error:
checking for the GMP library version 4.1.3 or above... no
configure: error: Cannot find GMP version 4.1.3 or higher.
GMP is the GNU Multi-Precision library:
see http://www.swox.com/gmp/ for more information.
When compiling the GMP library, do not forget to enable the C++ interface:
add --enable-cxx to the configuration options.
As such, I tried both installing and updating gmp using yum:
yum install gmp
yum update gmp
Install tells me it's already installed and is v. 5.1.2
Updating says there's nothing to update.
I went to the gmp site and it is currently v. 6.0.0
I downloaded it and ran configure (using --enable-cxx), make, and make install.
Yet, nothing has changed. It still says I have v. 5.1.2 and the configure for the library still says it can't find 4.1.3 and above / try enabling c++.
The gmp files (such as gmp.h) are being placed in /usr/local/lib and /include
I've been at this for hours without any progress. I'm rather new to linux so I imagine there's something I just don't know about.
Am I not installing 6.0.0 correctly to overwrite the already installed one?
Or is there a way to reinstall the original with the c++ option?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
dnf install gmp-devel resolved this for me on rhel
When you manually install something, as you have, it doesn't get installed in the normal /usr/lib directory and therefore it doesn't overwrite it. This is a good thing. In general, you shouldn't mess with files installed by the package manager. (Except in the case that they are config files that are meant to be edited.)
When you install manually, it is installed to /usr/local/lib. Fortunately, GCC and other compilers don't care which directory something is installed in, they will find it (when it's in standard places like /usr/* or /usr/local/*).
Just include the C++ header and add the correct -l library flag.
I figured it out.
Under the --help section of the ./configure for the library I was trying to install, there was actually a feature just for this:
--with-gmp-include=DIR
--with-gmp-lib=DIR
Using these, I was able to get it to install.
Thanks for the help.
I think I was too focused on trying to update the system install of gmp.
I am trying to compile the code for Abiword 2.8.6. I run the configure command as follows:
./configure --enable-static -disable-shared
This command ends with the following error
checking jpeglib.h usability... no
checking jpeglib.h presence... no
checking for jpeglib.h... no
configure: error: jpeg.h not found
I have no idea where to find jpeg.h. I am doing this on Ubuntu on a x86_64 hardware. I tried installing libjpeg using the following command:
sudo apt-get install libjpeg-progs
That did not help. libjpeg-progs package did install, but it did not solve my problem.
Is libjpeg-dev (or -devel depending on your system) installed? You need the development headers - including the libjpeg ones - to compile from source.
On a Debian-based system you'd do the following (as root):
apt-get install libjpeg-dev
RPM based systems will have a similar command.
