What need for "make xconfig" and "make gconfig"?

English Programming/Scripting
#1

I tried build kernel locally. When I run “make xconfig” it answered me:

  • Unable to find the QT4 tool qmake. Trying to use QT3
  • Unable to find any QT installation. Please make sure that
  • the QT4 or QT3 development package is correctly installed and
  • either qmake can be found or install pkg-config or set
  • the QTDIR environment variable to the correct location.

Well, I tried “make gconfig” and I see:

  • Unable to find the GTK+ installation. Please make sure that
  • the GTK+ 2.0 development package is correctly installed…
  • You need gtk±2.0, glib-2.0 and libglade-2.0.

I installed patterns-openSUSE-devel_kernel for this job.

What I need for properly run “make xconfig” and “make gconfig”?

Look for the -devel- packages of those products (as the messages tell you)

And please next time you copy/paste computer text here in a post, do so between CODE tags. You get them by clicking on the # button in the toolbar of the post editor.

I find “make menuconfig” better maintained.

Thank yor explanation about CODE tags, I did not know about it.

For the ability to use “gconfig” I had to install libglade2-devel. And “gconfig” is not perfect thing. :frowning:

For “xconfig” I had to install libqt4-devel and more than 80 packages have been installed with it. Strange dependences for such a simple thing.
