abgx 360 how do i run the make file?

[leo5111]

abgx360gui requires wxWidgets 2.7.1 or newer: Downloads - wxWidgets


To compile:
./configure
make


If you encounter this error:
wxWidgets must be installed on your system.

Please check that wx-config is in path, the directory
where wxWidgets libraries are installed (returned by
'wx-config --libs' or 'wx-config --static --libs' command)
is in LD_LIBRARY_PATH or equivalent variable and
wxWidgets version is 2.7.1 or above.

First check that wx-config exists in your path (normally /usr/local/bin); it
might be named something else like wxgtk2-2.8-config, and you will need to create
a symbolic link named wx-config in order for the configure script to find it.

Example: sudo ln -s /usr/local/bin/wxgtk2-2.8-config /usr/local/bin/wx-config
thats what readme says but i havent made something with a makefile before so any help appreciated

Probably all you need to do is install the wxgtk development package. This package includes the source files and the headers abgx is likely looking for. Most things in Ubuntu when you need the dev package, it's simply the "packagename-dev". I think wx is a little different though, there's several components and I didn't see a metapackage (one-click install all) for a version above 2.4 (you're requiring 2.7+), so I have a command line install that should hopefully help. If you're on the same system now, you can just cut and paste the second line.

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install wx-common libwxbase2.8-0 libwxbase2.8-dev libwxgtk2.8-0 libwxgtk2.8-dev wx2.8-headers

Note, when compiling programs, a configure script stops at the first unmet dependency, so solving one error may simply bring you to another one. Just follow the road one step at a time and eventually you should be able get it all working.

Also, if you need to search for the package needing to be installed, you may find it easier to use the Synaptic Package Manager.

Good luck!
