[Geany-Users] BuildingGeanyInstallFail

[Geoff Kaniuk]

I have now run some diagnostics on 'make install'.

Firstly a dry-run produced no issues
====================================================================
/home/.../geany-1.36# make --dry-run install>make-install-dry-run
/home/.../geany-1.36# echo $?
0
====================================================================

Next, I ran a trace:
====================================================================
/home/.../geany-1.36# make --trace install>make-install-trace
/bin/bash: line 3: ldconfig: command not found
make[4]: *** [Makefile:1660: fix-ubuntu-libdir] Error 127
make[3]: *** [Makefile:1533: install-exec-am] Error 2
make[2]: *** [Makefile:1433: install-am] Error 2
make[1]: *** [Makefile:1267: install-recursive] Error 1
make: *** [Makefile:594: install-recursive] Error 1
/home/.../geany-1.36# echo $?
2
====================================================================

The relevant section in the trace output is:
====================================================================
Makefile:1532: update target 'install-exec-am' due to: 
install-binPROGRAMS install-dist_pkglibexecSCRIPTS install-libLTLIBRARIES
:
make  install-exec-hook
make[4]: Entering directory 
'/home/geoff/Build/geany/geany-main/geany-1.36/src'
Makefile:1660: target 'fix-ubuntu-libdir' does not exist
if test "/usr/local/lib" = /usr/local/lib && \
    LANG=C ldd "/usr/local/bin/geany" | grep -q 'libgeany.*not found' \
; then \
	ldconfig "/usr/local/lib"; \
fi
====================================================================

I also ran 'make check' and that produced no errors.





It looks like the real problem is the missing target?

How is this fixed?
