Hey guys. I'm about as new to Linux as you can get, so bear with me please.
I installed Xubuntu on my old laptop to tinker with.. figured it would be a good use of an old machine. One thing I'd like to set up is some security with a webcam. Logitech QuickCam Pro 4000 to be exact. I went about trying to get wxCam set up and run into some problems. I unpacked the tar.gz and cd-ed to the new directory. Typed "./configure; make" like instructed
here and got this in return:
Quote:
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking for gawk... no
checking for mawk... mawk
checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes
checking whether to enable maintainer-specific portions of Makefiles... no
checking for style of include used by make... GNU
checking for gcc... gcc
checking for C compiler default output file name...
configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
See `config.log' for more details.
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.
It looks like to me either the compiler that came with xfce is crap or I need to install one. Please make any helpful instructions as idiot proof as possible. Thanks in advance.
