I'm on x64 Lubuntu 13.10 ... after a couple of minutes of working it told me this:

configure: error: headers for the toxcore library were not found on your system
make: *** Keine Targets angegeben und keine »make«-Steuerdatei gefunden. Schluss.
make: *** Keine Regel, um »install« zu erstellen. Schluss.
Done

@d0b3rmann Are you sure that libtoxcore and libsodium are installed? Are you able to run the command nTox?

You should use

wget -N --directory-prefix=$HOME/.config/tox/ https://raw.github.com/irungentoo/ProjectTox-Core/master/other/DHTservers

instead of

wget -N --directory-prefix=/home/$USER/.config/tox/ https://raw.github.com/irungentoo/ProjectTox-Core/master/other/DHTservers

Just in case if somebody uses a different home directory

$ git clone https://*

Will work for GitHub repos but not for FFmpeg's:

$ git clone https://source.ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg.git
Cloning into 'ffmpeg'...
fatal: unable to access 'https://source.ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg.git/': SSL: no alternative certificate subject name matches target host name 'source.ffmpeg.org'

Could use the GitHub mirror though: https://github.com/FFmpeg/FFmpeg

Thank You! Makes it simple - however, with Debian bit of script, I think you need ../ before the rm ./libconfig.tar.gz line. I have uploaded the complete error output here. It seems to work....

At line 15 cd ffmpeg is not matching downloaded FFmpeg folder. Please fix it

Hello, I looked at the aur script https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/li/libsodium-git/PKGBUILD for libsodium, it seems that make check is executed after make, what is the correct?

I'm installing it on inux Mint 16 Cinnamon now! When are we going to have the deb files for TOX (stable)?

urras commented Mar 8, 2014

@freemangilgamesh The debs are located at http://jenkins.tox.im/job/Linux-Venom-i686/ and http://jenkins.tox.im/job/Linux-Venom-AMD64/ . However, these debs are generated nightly, and could be very unstable.

@freemangilgamesh

thank you for the links but these debs are only 278,5 ko!! But when I use the script it is much bigger file! BTW I installed this deb on LMDE (Linux Mint Debian Edition) but i can't find a login screen!!

Huh. It works on my machine. Is there any way you can give me a log?

@konqoro
Sudo don't make you root, it's only gives root rights for your user: UID will not change and condition in "rootcheck" returns FALSE.
So, as we see, everything works properly =)

ghost commented Apr 1, 2014

Weird, that check seems to work [ "$(id -u)" = "0" ]
Also: sh -c "touch test;sudo touch test2;ls -l | grep test" For me the output is:
-rw-r--r-- 1 konqoro konqoro 0 Apr 1 06:27 test
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Apr 1 06:27 test2

On Gentoo, when I do

layman -f -o https://raw.github.com/fr0stycl34r/gentoo-overlay-tox/master/repository.xml -a tox-overlay

then I do layman -S, it says, "Warning: Overlay "tox-overlay" could not be found in the remote lists.

  • Please check if it has been renamed and re-add if necessary." Could you help me?

gjkerns commented Aug 3, 2014

Update: I got layman to successfully update the tox-overlay by manually copying the repository.xml to /etc/layman/overlays. Then layman -S succeeds and I can see the files in /var/lib/layman/tox-overlay. Yet when I try to emerge, net-libs/tox is not found.

Hi @gjkerns
Not sure if your issue has been fixed yet or not, but for future reference, could you please report issues for the Gentoo overlay at https://github.com/urras/gentoo-overlay-tox instead? If you post them here, I probably won't get a notification about it.
