making apps
Dexter N Muir
Like I said, 'starting out'... :-)
Seems all the latest distros have dropped this package out - maybe
HOWTOs should reflect this?
Cheers all and thanks

Shift-PageUp will allow you scroll up, provided you have not
switched virtual consoles since the error message was printed.
Look for the first compiler error and/or warning message, this is
the best place to start.
I'll make a wild guess that you do not have the ncurses header (include)
files installed, which you can find in a RPM package called
ncurses-devel
or similiar. You should be able to find it on your Mandrake CDs or
from a FTP mirror.

You could also make a log of your compilation with something similar to:
make > /tmp/making_apps 2>&1
Hope this helps. Guess that ncurses might be related as you were
suggested
before. Shane's suggestion (using the rpm) could be the easy way out...

run this:

you want to record, including prompts and other commands)

take note! :-) I found libncurses and libncurses-devel, ncurses and
ncurses-extraterms, but not ncurses-devel. Where do I go?
Cheers

When it comes to making logs of what's going on, I generally do...
make 2>&1 | tee make.log
...as that puts the log on the screen and lets me watch what it's
doing, so I don't get bored watching an unchanging screen. Also, by
dropping the log in the current directory, I know what it relates to
if I forget to erase it and come back to it later.

Although my experience over the past several years has been with
Debian, I expect that SuSe and probably Red Hat still support ax25,
since they also have hams who are active in the organizations. On the
other hand, compiling from source isn't necessarily a bad thing--I have
a few ham programs which I update frequently from CVS because the
packages tend to lag behind the latest code (which is also why I run
the "testing" version of Debian instead of the stable version).
The package names vary a bit between distributions, but
libncurses-devel contains the libs and includes required for
compilation of apps using ncurses. The others are required when you
run the apps. Thus you probably need all of the packages you listed
with the possible exception of ncurses-extraterms.
