Thank you for help, seems easy but it's hard for me !
(thank you for helping members)

Sorry for this, but seems that no one around ?
I also tried the @Head_on_a_Stick method with no success, :-(

I'd try to run autogen as NOT root. Also maybe not all requirements are met, I'd try with

 sudo apt-get install build-essential fakeroot devscripts

+1

Never use root privileges for anything except the final `make install` step.

You could try this before running the autogen script:

libtoolize --force

Not in Debian atm so I can't test this

Hi again, After autogen command, no success one time more after your great advices of @Head_on_a_Stick and @brontosaurusrex !
any new try ?

You used [ quote ] tags! You can edit your posts and change the tags yourself, if you like. The advantage of [ code ] tags is that it preserves the formatting of the pasted terminal output, and it can be scrolled up/dow,n left/right - much easier to read

Tah-dah!

Remember the commands to add the repo key must also be run as root or with sudo. I used the PPA source as a starting point, but there were a few problems with it, such as a missing libssl-dev build-depend, and the maintainer tediously added a bunch of package dependencies instead of letting ${shlibs:Depends} handle all that automagically.

Very helpful @stevep, this is the best news for this week-end !!

Thanks to all for their help

straight install, but didn't find the app in Menu to start it, may be missing something ?

Bearded_Blunder · 2016-10-22 06:31:35

On bunsen, you have to add stuff to the menu for yourself, right click on desktop > Preferences > Openbox > GUI Menu Editor

Research maybe? Menu -> Help -> Openbox ->

ohnonot · 2016-10-22 07:11:47

hello kdaffef, i'd like to know how you actually use growl.

hi, actually growl (as client) is used to display calls notifications no my desktop, and it notified by send-to-growl module which is installed on my asterisk voip vps server.

I used it for many years with Windows desktop, but now i migrated to bunsenlabs distro which really great, but as a new comer to linux planet, it's hard to me to understand very basic things and make them working now !.

regards

Okay looked at adding items to openbox menu, but what should pout in command field ? and where i could find growl-for-linux folder ? (any equivalent to windows/program files/ ??). Thks

Of toppic: @stevep ... thanks for taking the time to package PaleMoon for debian (and consequently for BL). Much obliged, sir

There are many ways to find the command to use:

Most executables will be in '/usr/bin' or '/usr/local/bin';

Find an executable with commands like 'apropos', 'which' etc, so you could do

apropos growl

or

which growl<tab to complete>

When you find the path to the executable, use that in the command field in the menu editor (you can also browse from there to find it). I usually test the command in a terminal first....

There are also other utilities like the 'find' and 'locate' commands, and the catfish gui: 'Menu -> Accessories -> Catfish File Search'

Questions aren't stupid, it is what you do with the answers that could be!

Linux can need a different mindset if you are coming from the Windows world, especially as regards terminal use, which can be easier and more efficient.
