Heloo everyone…
Can anyone help me, coz I’ve problem while installing DeSmuME 0.9.6 from sources.
When I tried to run “./configure” from Konsole, on last line, I got an error:

configure: error: zlib was not found, we can't go further. Please install it or specify the location where it's installed.

I’ve installed zlib on my system. I’ve try “./configure --with-zlib:/lib” (I give /lib for the location, coz I don’t know where is zlib real location) but still, same error occur. Can anyone help me with this problem.

Thanks for u’r attention.
NB: I’m really sorry for my poor English.

Hi
When compiling from source, you need to ensure you have the corresponding devel package installed eg zlib-devel.

Thanks malcommlewis. It’s solved this problem, but now I’ve got another problem. When I try to run ./configure, @ last 2 line it’s show an error:

grep: po/Makefile.in: No such file or directory
config.status: error: po/Makefile.in.in was not created by intltoolize.

I’ve try to use touch to create Makefile.in file. But the error message:

config.status: error: po/Makefile.in.in was not created by intltoolize.

still appear. Can you help me to fix this problem??

Thanks for the attention. And as usual sorry for my poor English.

Hi
Is there a file called autogen.sh? If so ensure you have automake and
autoconf installed and then run the command;


autoreconf -af
../configure --prefix=/usr

Hi
Had a look at the source and I see the version has bumped to 0.9.7. It
builds except there is a couple of errors so it won’t pass OBS rpm
checks. I have created rpms for 0.9.7 here under home:malcolmlewis:Testing
http://software.opensuse.org/search?q=desmume&baseproject=openSUSE%3A11.3&lang=en&exclude_debug=true

I had the same problem above, and followed you (thanks for that). When I got to the point

>grep: po/Makefile.in: No such file or directory
>config.status: error: po/Makefile.in.in was not created by intltoolize.

but I typed ’ autoconf -af ’ and my pc said:

>/usr/bin/autoreconf: unrecognized option `-af’

Try `/usr/bin/autoreconf --help’ for more information.

I searched in the help but had no answer. What else should I do?
