Compile fet in Manjaro Gnu/Linux

[Omar Ben Ali]

Hello,

i am using Manjaro Gnu/Linux, witch is based on archlinux distribution.

I am also testing Opensuse in virtualBox.

I would like to use fet with Linux but i do not know how to compile the source file.

Any help would be appreciated

Did you read the README file in the FET directory already?
Do you have installed a c++ compiler? (maybe write "g++ -v" in the terminal to check it out)
Do you have installed Qt? (maybe write "qmake -v" in the terminal to check it out)

[Omar Ben Ali]

yes
gcc version 7.1.1 20170630 (GCC)
QMake version 3.1
Using Qt version 5.9.1 in /usr/lib

at the end I get this ....

So you're trying a ''make install'' ?

You can see you don't have superuser (admin/root) permissions, so it can't write files in system directories like /usr/bin and /usr/share .

qmake
make (or make -j 2, or more)
sudo make install (input root password)

Thank you Liviu  . Now I can use fet in my Manjaro.
