With autotools I get this:

Install build-essential Install build-essential if you haven't done so already. You can install it in the Software Center or with:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install build-essential

gcc does not contain g++, these are different packages. Install g++ Install g++:

apt-get install g++

  • Now I'm getting this:

    CMake Error at /usr/share/cmake-2.8/Modules/FindKDE4.cmake:98 (MESSAGE): ERROR: cmake/modules/FindKDE4Internal.cmake not found in /home/jonquil/.kde/share/apps;/usr/share/kubuntu-default-settings/kde4-profile/default/share/apps;/usr/share/kde4/apps Call Stack (most recent call first): CMakeLists.txt:6 (find_package)

  • you are missing a build environment, it's more than just compilers, you need libraries and so on. Take a look here to find out what you need: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingEasyHowTo – Thomas Jun 18 '12 at 19:39
  • I KNEW there was a package I could install in Ubuntu that would give me all the necessary packages for compiling, I just couldn't remember the name of it. Thanks! – xjonquilx Jun 18 '12 at 19:50
  • I'm still getting the same error though. :( – xjonquilx Jun 18 '12 at 19:51
  • The error messages hint's at kde - kde development is not included in build-essential. Don't know if there is a meta package for this. – Thomas Jun 18 '12 at 20:00
  • Could kde-workspace-dev be it? How about kdelibs5-dev? – xjonquilx Jun 18 '12 at 20:36
  • I went ahead and installed them both and now it's going smoothly. Still got some unmet dependencies but I should be ok from here... if not I'll post here again! – xjonquilx Jun 18 '12 at 20:44
  • I thought I got all my dependencies but now when I type "make" I get this: /usr/local/bin/msgfmt: error while loading shared libraries: libgettextsrc-0.18.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory make[2]: *** [po/bg/akonadi_gcal_resource.gmo] Error 127 make[1]: *** [po/bg/CMakeFiles/pofiles.dir/all] Error 2 make: *** [all] Error 2 – xjonquilx Jun 18 '12 at 21:15
  • I have libgettext installed btw. I also have libgettext-ocaml-dev installed. – xjonquilx Jun 18 '12 at 21:21
  • Ok, it was a package actually called libgettextsrc. I had to get the RPM version and convert it using Alien. I now have akonadi-google installed on my system. Thanks for all the help! I would vote you a few more times if I could. :D – xjonquilx Jun 18 '12 at 21:30

I am aware that this is "Ask Ubuntu", but if someone with Fedora would meet this problem, the following helped me:

sudo dnf install gcc-c++

    Your are correct in terms of the purpose of this particular forum. Please note that questions - and answers - relating to distros other than Ubuntu Linux should be posted at https://unix.stackexchange.com – CentaurusA Sep 26 '18 at 02:52
