Problem installing with Kregedit
Hello, good evening.

I just downloaded a program "Kregedit". The file is compressed with ".tar.gz". I extracted the file and here are the list of files available of Kregedit program.
I already done with these command:acinclude.m4 config.log doc Makefile.cvs stamp-h.in
aclocal.m4 configure Doxyfile Makefile.in subdirs
admin configure.files INSTALL NEWS TODO
AUTHORS configure.in kregedit.kdevelop po
ChangeLog configure.in.in kregedit.kdevses README
config.h.in COPYING Makefile.am src
Here's the result when I executed the ./configure:Code:./configure make make install
Here's the result when I executed the "make":Code:./configure checking build system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu checking host system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu checking target system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c checking for -p flag to install... yes checking whether build environment is sane... yes checking for gawk... no checking for mawk... mawk checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes checking for style of include used by make...

Here's the result when I executed the "make install":Code:make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.
I thinking might be the commands "make" and "make install" are not needed with this program.Code:make: *** No rule to make target `install'. Stop.
Can anyone help me with this. Thanks and God bless.

You have to install necessary Compilers first.
Execute this in Terminal :
Code:sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install build-essential
It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.

Just want to update this.

Kregedit is KDE based and you will have to install a lot of dependencies for its installation in Gnome based distro.
Anyways, install kde-devel package.
Code:sudo apt-get install kde-devel

Hi Sir devils casper, good evening.

Ahh ok, so in short I have to install the KDE Desktop Environment in order the kregedit will work?
Since I'm very new to Linux, I just want to take this oppurtunity as well regarding the build-essentials and xorg-dev. Could you explain why I need to install these and what are inside of these programs? I mean the ingredients each of the program.
Thank you so much Sir and God bless.

Hi Shengton,
If the './configure' command fails for some reason, there is no point in continuing with executing 'make' and 'make install' commands.
One more suggestion is, if you like a software that is written for a particular platform or library set, just google around to see if you have a version for your platform or Desktop Environment.
I googled and came to know that the author has discontinued 'kregedit' project! He is now writing using GTK+ library which means his new version will be available natively on GNOME! Its called 'gregedit'.
But its not yet ready I guess. I didnot find any donwload links only screenshots.
See, KRegedit and Jelmer Vernooij

Hi saivin, good morning.

Thanks for your nice inputs Sir. It's very a big help for me as a newbie. Next time I will try to google first before asking for help here. Thanks Sir for the tip!
Thanks for the info as well regarding the program "Kregedit". So the author of the software discontinued developing the program for the KDE.
Thanks again Sir and God bless.
