Ubuntu 22.04.4 “jammy”

[roberthadow]

I copied the install script for Xnec2c from the user manual I found at xnec2c.org. When I ran it, the first hiccough was at gettext. From there, lots of “no such file” errors.

So I installed the gnome libraries successfully (“sudo apt-get install build-essential gnome-devel libgtk-3-dev gettext autopoint”) and tried the original install script again.

Then I was told I need GNU Autoconf 2.52. I installed that.

Then the install script failed at ATLAS. With no other help immediately available, I gave up.

I'd like to build antennae. I need some help on this UNIX stuff. Is there a way to install the app without building it ground up? 73

Try this; I just tried it here on a minimal installation and it worked:

1. apt install git build-essential libgtk-3-dev gettext autopoint autoconf libtool gnome-icon-theme desktop-file-utils
2. git clone https://github.com/KJ7LNW/xnec2c.git
3. cd xnec2c
4. ./autogen.sh
5. ./configure
6. make

Then test it:

• ./src/xnec2c examples/airplane.nec

and install it system-wide

• make install

and optionally install desktop components and file associations

• make desktop-install

Then the install script failed at ATLAS. With no other help immediately available, I gave up.

I did not see any ATLAS errors when I did a test with make install. If you still get the atlas error, then please copy and paste the output that you see when you do the installation process so that I can investigate.

Hello KJ7LNW -- We can put closed to the Github ticket.  I altered the script and subsequent commands to include sudo, as is my practice.  It all worked without a hitch. Many thanks, 73 W2NJ

I'd recommend updating the recommended script at xnec2c.org. The one provided to me above worked perfectly. Thanks

You're welcome. We updated documentation for Ubuntu on the website accordingly.
