Need Help with Linux "Make"

[.Chris]

I need help compiling an input driver for a Xorg server, but I'm not that familiar with using make.

The instructions are here, http://blog.dev001.net/post/40681591705/x-org-use-your-android-tablet-as-a-graphics-tablet, but I'm stuck on step 3 on installing the input driver. I would appreciate any help. Thanks

cd

to the directory with the makefile

make

then

sudo make install

Try that?

Err, that's the thing, I don't know where the makefile was placed in.>.<

Where did you unpack the source?

Just cd around, and use ls. It's a file that's called "makefile"

This is what I get:

chris@ubuntu:~$ ls
Desktop    Games    PlayOnLinux's virtual drives  Ubuntu One
Documents  Music    Public                        Videos
Downloads  Pictures  Templates                    xf86-networktablet
chris@ubuntu:~$ cd xf86-networktablet
chris@ubuntu:~/xf86-networktablet$ ls
LICENSE.md  Makefile  networktablet.c  networktablet.h  protocol.h  README.md
chris@ubuntu:~/xf86-networktablet$

And just run "makefile"?

EDIT: I tried running makefile, this is what it came up with:

chris@ubuntu:/xf86-networktablet$ make
libtool --mode=compile gcc -c `pkg-config --cflags xorg-server` networktablet.c
/bin/sh: 1: pkg-config: not found
libtool: compile: Failed to create `.libs'
make: *** [networktablet.lo] Error 1
chris@ubuntu:/xf86-networktablet$

Easy fix

sudo apt-get intsall pkg-config

then run

make

again, as you did, in the xf86-networktablet folder.

Alrighty, it works now. Thanks again!
