Sess1 - Getting Xchat build
I build from source code since it allows to download for Windows and Feedora (maybe it could work for Ubuntu but I want to be ready to build other things)- Extract the source code to /tmp
- Inside x-chat folder run:
./configure - But got this error: configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
- Since I will build firefox and/or other things in this CLEAN Ubuntu Installation I do this:
sudo apt-get build-dep firefox
./configure (the same problem) - Tried this (read from here ):
sudo apt-get install libc6-dev
./configure (now the problem is "GLIB - version >= 2.0.3... no") - After a little research finding thins in the "synaptic Package Manager" (which is cheating for others). I saw few libglib style packages so I tried this:
sudo apt-get install libglib2.0-dev
./configure (it ends by saying " 'make' and pray) - The praying did't work so I tried to go back to xchat.org since I know Anthony Hughes was running Ubuntu and Xchat, therefore, it shouldn't be so complicated
- I don't download the Fedora build but I try to go to their SourcForge.net site, I download their 2.8.2, extract it to /tmp and try to run by doing this:
xchat
and it replies with: "The program 'xchat' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing: sudo apt-get install xchat" which I try: - sudo apt-get install xchat
- Now we can see packages like: tcl8.4 xchat xchat-common
- I type "whereis xchat" which shows me the different place it now exists
- Now add an icon to the panel above
- Add a "Mozilla" network, edit the server to be "irc.mozilla.org/6697", select Use SSL and accept invalid certificates. Now for the #seneca channel you need to set your nick with NickServ
Running and working!
