Hello together,

I cant install workrave on Linux. Makefile is not o.k.

See the output below:

Hi,

Workrave is compiled automatically whenever something is changed, so I'm pretty sure the Makefile is fine ;-)

It looks like you don't have all the required development libraries installed. Getting that right is a bit of a pain. May I ask why you are trying to compile workrave yourself? Instead of using pre-compiled versions provided by your distribution, for example? Speaking of which, which version of Linux are you using?

Groetjes,

Kees-Jan

Thank you for responding

I used the debian packages from ubuntupackages. There where 3 Libraries and 2 packages workrave- data and workrave, and the it worked.
