Re: [help-gnubatch] Re Installation Woes

[John Collins (Xi Software Ltd)]

Sorry I didn't want to do a whole new version just for one fix - just put in a declaration of "FILE *Cfile;" in btpwchk.c somewhere or take the sources from the Git repository.

I'll be pushing a version including new Windows clients to the repository by the end of February hopefully before then.

Hello,

A few months ago someone wrote in with a problem installation GnuBatch (Cfile references are broken), I was wondering if there was a resolution to this issue?  Perhaps it's best to simply install the older version ?

Hello,

I'm having a heck of a time trying to install gnubatch on a fresh Ubuntu
10.04 machine. Can someone let me know which packages I need prior to making
and installing gnubatch v1.3?

So far, by trial and error, it appears the following are needed:

   sudo apt-get install build-essential bison flex libncurses5-dev libtool


But I'm still getting errors when making. Here's the tail end of the output
of make:

gcc -o btpwchk  btpwchk.o lib/.libs/libgnubatch_int.a   -lcrypt

lib/.libs/libgnubatch_int.a(helpvec.o): In function `helpvec':

make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/ubuntu/downloads/gnubatch-1.3/build'

 If you can let me know how to get around this particular error, great! Even
better would be providing as much of an gnuBatch installation guide for a
linux journeyman such as myself.


Thanks,

Matt
