Hi Friends

I am a regular Linux user but mostly of apps from software center and have no experience in any type of programming or making/installing any apps from git etc..

I am trying to install Hardinfo app from https://github.com/lpereira/hardinfo.git as its not avaaliable in the software center of Solus.

But when i try cmake i get the below error

$ sudo cmake .. CMakeLists.txt
-- The C compiler identification is GNU 9.3.0
-- The CXX compiler identification is GNU 9.3.0
-- Check for working C compiler: /usr/bin/cc
-- Check for working C compiler: /usr/bin/cc - broken
CMake Error at /usr/share/cmake-3.17/Modules/CMakeTestCCompiler.cmake:60 (message):
The C compiler

"/usr/bin/cc"

is not able to compile a simple test program.

It fails with the following output:

I tried installing g++ and gcc but no luck

So please help me to install this software as i am very much excited to learn some new tricks 🙂

Hi
Thank you for your reply.

i tried the command sudo eopkg install -c system.devel and now iam gettin the below error for gtk+-2.0 not found

$ sudo cmake .. CMakeLists.txt

      Hi
      Thank You for your reply

      after installing the libgtk-2-devel. My "cmake" command was executed successfully

      but now i am stuck at "make" command and getting the below error

      $ sudo make
      [ 12%] Built target sysobj_early
      [ 17%] Built target network
      [ 35%] Built target computer
      [ 52%] Built target devices
      [ 53%] Linking C executable hardinfo
      /usr/bin/ld: cannot open output file hardinfo: Is a directory
      collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
      make[2]: *** [CMakeFiles/hardinfo.dir/build.make:497: hardinfo] Error 1
      make[1]: *** [CMakeFiles/Makefile2:235: CMakeFiles/hardinfo.dir/all] Error 2
      make: *** [Makefile:150: all] Error 2

      please dont mind i have no idea about programming so maybe i am doing many mistakes etc..

      please let me know what to do next ?

      Thank You

          lookse Try to start this again, and do:

          git clone https://github.com/lpereira/hardinfo.git
sudo eopkg it libsoup-devel libgtk-2-devel  libjson-glib-devel -c system.devel
cd hardinfo
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make

          Just built it.
          If you want to package it, this is the package.yml: https://hasteb.in/kiqolena.sql

              Also please read the output, Google your error, use eopkg search for looking up packages, etc. so people don't have to hold your hand step-by-step 🙂

                  Hi

                  Thank you for the suggestion.

                  I tried searching on google first but i cant find much help related to Solus Linux online, so had to ask here for help.

                  Maybe i am searching in a wrong way i guess, Next time will be more careful 🙂

                  Thank you.

                      lookse Your errors aren't specific to Solus (it's just Solus btw, not Solus Linux).
