    hallo!
    i have installed slitaz3 on virtualbox.
    now i want to install easystroke from tar.gz of course (it's a mouse gesture app, i think the best for linux)
    i have found that i have to install slitaz-toolchain for use apps from source, i'm right? (i haven't found too much info about use those apps)
    but now what i have to do? the ./configure make etc sequence doesn't work, and the only info found are about ubuntu...

    Hi @arobot --

    Yes, you'll need to install the slitaz-toolchain to compile programs. You may also need to install the Xorg development packages, I'd imagine.

    What "doesn't work" about the configure/make sequence?
    (Make sure you use a prefix=/usr option for them otherwise the paths are often incorrect).

    (Make sure you use a prefix=/usr option for them otherwise the paths are often incorrect).

    can you write an example of what i have to write?
    i can't find the xorg development package in packet manager, what's the name?
    xterm says that configure is not found
    i open the folder of unzipped files, i open terminal inside the folder and i write
    ./configure, xterm says that configure doesn't exist...what's wrong?

    hmmm...if i use configure xterm says:
    -sh: configure: not found ...is normal?

    ./configure --prefix=/usr
    should be alright. Sometimes programs are already 'configure'd; you should be able to skip it and just 'make' it. What does it say in the documentation (install instructions)?

    The package is named 'xorg-dev', you should see this if you search TazPkg for 'xorg'. You may not need this, though; install it if it complains that it cannot find the X development libraries.

    There are instructions for generic Linux builds on the website. It says that make is enough to build an executable in the curren t directory so you don't need to 'make install' either:
