Can't make qtella

[wenpycc]

I'm haveing a problem with installing qtella the make command aint working it shows an error

make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.


I'm runing RH9 just installed it and i'm new to it so could someone blease help

yeah im having the same problem as well. I drag the config file into the shell window and it comes up with a long list and then it goes back too normal. then i type make and it says:
make: *** No targets. Stop.
grr... so how do i accually make the file?

in a terminal, cd /path/to/source (type in the directory where you have the qtella sources), type ./configure, then make, then make install

I'm using Kubuntu breezy with KDE 3.5. I have been using LimeWire, which would crash sometimes but since I installed KDE 3.5 It now crashes without fail. I read a nice review about Qtella on NewsForge and thought that since it used Qt it would be good on my KDE desktop. Yeah right ! I got as far as ./configure. Here is the logfile:

This file contains any messages produced by compilers while
running configure, to aid debugging if configure makes a mistake.

It was created by qtella configure 0.6.5, which was
generated by GNU Autoconf 2.59. Invocation command line was

$ ./configure

This is not at all helpful for a n00b like me when I'm told on the Qtella website that intalling this thing is easy. (With no further help is something doesn't work the way it's supposed to). I am dissapointed that I'm getting this sort of grief just trying to install the thing. I would like to get it installed and give it a chance. Can anyone help ??

Are you talking about this article?
http://www.newsforge.com/article.pl?.../11/29/0254245

That one is over 4 years old! I don't want to badmouth Qtella but the Gnutella network and protocol has evolved quite a lot since then and Qtella is in no way up to par with LimeWire or other actively developed Gnutella clients. Actually, the Qtella project seems stale for at least the last 18 months
and the version you tried to compile isn't even one of the latest releases.

Anyways, your problem is that you have no C++ compiler installed, so you cannot compile Qtella from its sources. I would recommend looking for another alternative though.

Just have a look in the other client forums, and stay away from Bearshare (it's been sold out to the music industry).

[upperq]

pl.tell me how to install qtella

[arne_bab]

Good luck is all I can tell you.

I tried and failed. The codebase is too outdated to build with current versions of qt.
