|
|
I just got installed the .tar.bz2 file of Dropbox (from here: https://www.dropbox.com/downloading?os=lnx ). Then I read the README file after doing tar xvjf nautilus-dropbox-0.6.3.tar.bz2
.
The README instructions said Quote: |
You will need the following packages (or equivalent):
libnautilus-extension-dev
In the nautilus-dropbox dir just do:
$ ./configure
$ make
$ sudo make install
After installing the package you must restart Nautilus. You can do that by issuing the following command (note: if you're running compiz, doing so may lock up your computer - log out and log back in instead):
$killall nautilus
|
I did all of that, I restarted nautilus. I even logged out and back into my computer, and, nothing.
When I did makeI got make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.
Same with sudo make install --> make: *** No rule to make target `install'. Stop.
What do I do to get Dropbox running/ working in general? |

Why install by hand?
If i'm not mistaken i thought it was in the sunrise-overlay. You can check out this bug report also https://bugs.gentoo.org/237433
By the way, you might have to wait a little while to check out sunrise overlay as right now i believe overlays.gentoo.org is still down. |

I'd just rather do this in the command line.
How do I get past the problem of #make install?
I've looked on other pages, and appearantly that command is supposed to work, but in this case all I'm getting is
Quote: | make: *** No rule to make target `install'. Stop. |

Your problem started before make install:
Quote: | When I did makeI got make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop. |
If make can't find a makefile, that'll stop it in it's tracks.
Are you in the right directory when your trying this? Did "./configure" complete sucessfully? |

Yes I'm in the right directory. Umm, the ./configure did end with this:
Quote: | checking for docutils... no
configure: error: couldn't find docutils |
Big problem? and how do I fix that, if I can that is? |

That means your configure didn't complete sucessfully and you dont have a valid makefile, you're missing a required dependency (in this case, docutils)
It's available via dev-python/docutils in portage.
Also, this is in the sunrise overlay, I highly recommend you install from there, or if you want to do it "manually" write (or copy) your own ebuild locally. |

Thank you so much. That did just the trick. I followed through with the rest of the README and everything finished without a problem. Thanks for all the wonderful help. |
