I needed to install some software on Ubuntu.<\/p>\n
So I sudo’d updated and upgraded. Nothing.<\/p>\n
I enabled more repositories, including one called “universe”. Nothing.<\/p>\n
So I had to compile this fucker from source. Sigh.<\/p>\n
I clone that bitch and go .\/autogen.sh<\/em><\/p>\n And sure enough, I need autoconf<\/em> installed. So I install it to compile the fucker aforementioned.<\/p>\n To compile, you need to type make<\/em>. Shit doesn’t work because no makefile has been found. Because make<\/em> needs fucking dependencies that I should have because I keep updating and upgrading that Linux hoe. But I don’t have them.<\/p>\n So I type .\/configure<\/em> which is a script to let me know which dependencies I need to use make<\/em> to compile the library I need to run some software. By the way, do you know that it is 2025?<\/p>\n So .\/configure<\/em> is all like “syntax error unexpected token gtk+ 2.0 hello I’m shittin’ the bed ‘gain”<\/em>.<\/p>\n So I try to install gtk+ 2.0 with pkg-config<\/em> and guess what? Pkg-config<\/em> needs some dependencies as well! This is so much fun.<\/p>\n Gtk+ 2.0 (sorry, 2.24.33) is well installed but pkg-config<\/em> can’t find its ass. So I go into the fucking config.log to look at the abyss.<\/p>\n I try again to make<\/em> some software and this time, guess what, I’m missing something called yacc<\/em>, and the solution is to install something called bison<\/em> and byacc<\/em>. I am totally serious.<\/p>\n I try again to make<\/em>. Failure. Something is missing again (remember, I update and upgrade everything I can all the time in between).<\/p>\n Now I need to install something called flex<\/em>. I do. Still won’t work.<\/p>\n Now I need to install something called makeinfo<\/em>, which is installed by sudoing texinfo<\/em> (not a typo)! I’m having a wonderful time.<\/p>\n I make<\/em> the software and now I can actually install the actual software that relies on that one.<\/p>\n All of that to open a fucking GUI on Ubuntu 24.04 (both native and wsl, same craziness).<\/p>\n Half assed GUI and CLI. Linux might be the worst.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I needed to install some software on Ubuntu. So I sudo’d updated and upgraded. Nothing.
