Installing on Ubuntu Linux

[strawber...@googlemail.com]

I'm kinda new to Linux, and I have so far never been able to install
anything from the source code successfully. Can someone point me in
the right direction?

[Rui Paulo]

Sure. Try this:

$ tar xzvf RemotePadServer-1.6-Source.tgz
....
$ cd RemotePad\ Server
$ make
cc -g -O2 -Wall -Werror -I/usr/X11R6/include -I/usr/X11R7/include -I/
usr/X11/include -c -o remotepad.o remotepad.c
cc -L/usr/X11R6/lib -L/usr/X11R7/lib -L/usr/X11/lib -lX11 -lXtst -lm
remotepad.o -o remotepad
$

Then you can run the RemotePad server as follows:
$ ./remotepad

That's what I tried. But I got an error message:

$ make
cc -g -O2 -Wall -Werror -I/usr/X11R6/include -I/usr/X11R7/include -I/
usr/X11/include -c -o remotepad.o remotepad.c
cc -L/usr/X11R6/lib -L/usr/X11R7/lib -L/usr/X11/lib -lX11 -lXtst -lm
remotepad.o -o remotepad

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lXtst
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [remotepad] Error 1

You have to install a libXtst library package. I don't know how to
install this in Ubuntu, but I found some binary packages with google.

Could you search a library with the keywords 'libxtst' or 'libxtst6'
and install it? (and if possible, please tell me how you install the
library.)

Ah, yes. That seems to have done the trick. It was already installed,
but obviously the development version needs to be installed if I want
to compile the code.

In Ubuntu, this is a case of opening Synaptic Package Manager and
searching for libxtst.

I see. The libxtst-dev package, maybe.

I installed RemotePad on Ubuntu 8.04 within VirtualBox running on Mac
OS X. With the related X11 packages (mentioned in this thread)
installed, I obtained the source directly from google svn:

svn checkout http://iphone-remotepad.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ iphone-
remotepad-read-only

Under the X11 directory, since it has an imake file that works better
for X, I ran following commands to build the server (remotepad)

$ xmkmf
$ make

The fun part is now I have two mouse devices working simultaneously,
one on Mac deskstop and one in the VirtualBox.
