This is what happens:

momodig@LinuxMudBox:~/tt/src$ ./configure
Configuring TinTin++
checking for gcc... no
checking for cc... no
checking for cl.exe... no
configure: error: in `/home/momodig/tt/src':
configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH
See `config.log' for more details

Wow I figured this out, sorry for the spam everyone, just I'm brutal with computures and the fix was so easy

Have you installed the build tools? There is a screen in the BL Welcome script which offers to install various applications for development. You can either run bl-welcome again, or run

sudo apt-get install build-essential

You can also use apt-get build-dep to configure necessary dependencies for your package.

BTW Welcome to the Forums. Please take a moment to have a read of the Forum Rules - Posting Style Guide. Using [ code ] tags for terminal output makes it much easier to read and scroll through

Well, if you could just say what you did, it may help others in the same situation

I googled no acceptable #path found, then found out I need a compiler, then I sudo install a the compiler and it work - sorry I'm very new that - I can't just happened upon this by luck... after the compiler was installed I was able to ./configure....

Another question though-is there a way to make icons/short cuts to apps and program on the desktop?

Getting Started

You are using a Window Manager (Openbox), not a Desktop Environment. There are workarounds I believe, but it may be easier to just install a DE and go the whole way.

One of the great things about Openbox, IMO, is that it is light and doesn't have desktop icons! If you are coming from a windoze environment then you will find that the approach to many aspects of your system is very different. BL is more hands-on than some other distros, so there are compromises between ease-of-use for newbies, and configurability and flexibility for those who like tinkering.

I have one other issue - but so far I'm loving this. ALT+F2 brings up a run menu. To run my app I simply type tt++ in the X Terminal Emulator. But when I try typing tt++ in the Alt+F2 window my app won't run... what am I doing wrong... sorry for all the silly questions... thank you

Also I'm curious is there a way to back-up everything, incase something bads happens I can do a recovery restore?
TY

If you have other issues then please open separate help requests.

If your application is a shell command, then it needs to run in a terminal. Try

x-terminal-emulator -e 'tt++'

There is no particular installed method for doing backups. Search for apps you could use, or read up on using rsync and other commandline utilities.

Yes I know, but didn't want to create any more overload for the OP

What is OP short for?

Original Post - in this case @momodig.

iMBeCil · 2020-01-17 08:47:10

^I always thought that OP means Original Poster

johnraff · 2020-01-18 04:14:40

^I get the impression it's used for both. Most of the time it doesn't matter.

I'll just keep this in the same thread... I just changed the terminal cut and paste options to putty which is nice... right click copys, left click pastes, but now that I can't left click i can't enter the terminal settings, how do I get around this?

Edit the config file manually, for whichever terminal you are using.

momodig · 2020-01-21 04:53:08

How do I do that? way to bring up the UI instead?

Please remember I'm new.

momodig · 2020-01-21 05:15:58

Figured it out, only how do I use keys to cut and paste?

No idea - you don't say which terminal you are using, and what you have done to change the defaults.

And you should start another thread if you have a different issue, with a title stating the problem.
