Install on Ubuntu 7.10

Postby moosky13 » Fri Apr 04, 2008 2:13 am

Hello,
I just donated money and want to install onto my laptop dual-booting XP and Ubuntu 7.10. I click on the files and it states its downloading but nothing happens. Can someone help me try to install using my terminal. I'm a newbie so step by step instructions would be greatly appreciated. thanks

I just installed MakeHuman on Ubuntu Hardy (8.04), but the same should work for Gutsy or pretty much any other Linux distro.

  1. Download the C++ sources from here: you need all three (animorph, makehuman and mhgui). Save them in /tmp.
  2. Open a terminal window.
  3. Unpack and install animorph:
    Code: Select all
    cd /tmp
    tar xvzf animorph-0.3.tar.gz
    cd animorph-0.3
    ./configure
    make
    sudo make install

    (sudo will ask for your password the first time you use it.) Look at the output after each command; if there is an error, there is no point in trying to continue with the next command.
  4. Repeat the steps above, replacing "animorph-0.3" by "mhgui-0.2", to install mhgui. That is:
    Code: Select all
    cd /tmp
    tar xvzf mhgui-0.2.tar.gz
    cd mhgui-0.2
    ./configure
    make
    sudo make install
  5. Repeat once more, replacing by "makehuman-0.9.1-rc1a", to install makehuman. That is:
    Code: Select all
    cd /tmp
    tar xvzf makehuman-0.9.1-rc1a.tar.gz
    cd makehuman-0.9.1-rc1a
    ./configure
    make
    sudo make install
  6. Update the linker cache by running:
    Code: Select all
    ldconfig
  7. Run makehuman simply by typing:
    Code: Select all
    makehuman
If you run into any problems, send me a PM or e-mail, since I do not frequently visit these forums. Good luck!

You also need to install the FreeGLUT development libraries before attempting the above. I neglected to mention this because I already had them. Do the following:
Code: Select all
sudo apt-get install freeglut3-dev

Hello maybe this thread is too old but what the heck,

I have tried the above but at the 1st "make" I get:
Code: Select all
...
...
make[2]: Entering directory `/tmp/makehuman/animorph-0.3/src'
source='BodySettings.cpp' object='BodySettings.lo' libtool=yes \
   DEPDIR=.deps depmode=none /bin/bash ../depcomp \
   /bin/bash ../libtool --tag=CXX   --mode=compile g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I..    -Wall  -c -o BodySettings.lo BodySettings.cpp
libtool: ignoring unknown tag CXX
 g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I.. -Wall -c BodySettings.cpp  -fPIC -DPIC -o .libs/BodySettings.o
../libtool: line 1325: g++: command not found
make[2]: *** [BodySettings.lo] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/tmp/makehuman/animorph-0.3/src'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/tmp/makehuman/animorph-0.3'
make: *** [all] Error 2
qwerty@monky:/tmp/makehuman/animorph-0.3$



I also tried: sudo apt-get install freeglut3-dev
but still the same,
Any suggestions please, ...
btw I am on an Ubuntu 8.04 - 64 machine,

cheers,
smitje
