Ubuntu Linux 9.04 Installation Issue

[mangel]

I navigated to the correct directory and ran the ./configure --enable-release as told and below is the error I received.

configure: error: You need NASM installed to compile ZSNES

I have no understanding of "NASM" and after searching for bit and to no avail I ask you guys, what do I do?

[badinsults]

It means just that, you need NASM to compile. Install NASM, and it should work.

[mangel]

What is NASM? Where can I get it? Also, how do you install it?

[Nach]

Look up NASM in your package manager.

Or if you're not afraid of a terminal, as root:
apt-get install nasm

In Ubuntu, prefix that with sudo.

[safaribans]

Quick question, why not

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install zsnes

Or use Applications -> Add/Remove if you like the gui.

Why build it, the repos have the latest version with patches.[/code]

[Nach]

Why build it, the repos have the latest version with patches.

Hahahahaha Ha.

[adventure_of_link]

Why build it, the repos have the latest version with patches.

Hahahahaha Ha.

Yeah really, since we all know what happened when Gentoo packaged ZSNES.. oh god the HORROR.. the HORROR

[grinvader]

Why build it, the repos have the latest version with patches.

Hahahahaha Ha.

You forgot the

NO


hahahahahahaha

And also the

around that.

Hahahahaha Ha.

This isn't the latest (1.51b and all that?)

To help the op with compilation

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install build-essential
sudo apt-get build-dep zsnes

That will get most of what one needs for compiling and the dependencies (what package has listed as prerequisite anyway) needed to build zsnes.

If any are still missing, i.e. you didn't have nasm, look for the package nasm. The error messages are actually helpful.

Rather than just make:

if you have a dual core,

Code: Select all

make -j3

quad core

Code: Select all

make -j5

Definitely still pray after running make, this will try to compile parts in parallel and hopefully speed things up

EDIT: I just compiled it under ubuntu 9.04, with --enable-libao --enable-release --disable-debugger, however upon running:

Code: Select all

*** buffer overflow detected ***: zsnes terminated
======= Backtrace: =========
/lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6(__fortify_fail+0x48)[0xb7c71da8]
/lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6[0xb7c6feb0]
zsnes[0x805a852]

So I'm going with my own advice and using the one in the repos...
