Can not run configure command: "No such file or directory"

[dinxan]

I'm trying to install a glib-2.57.2 tar.gz package from source. I downloaded the package, changed to the package’s directory and ran ./configure command but it returned > bash: ./configure: No such file or directory. What can be the problem? A configure.ac file is located in the program folder.Please Help Me!!!

Did you uncompressed the tarball?

Why are you installing it from source?

I want to compile a code in GTK+3.

Presumably the configure script is in the directory where you are trying to run it. Perhaps show bash the command by running:

Code: Select all

bash ./configure

Their website says to build with meson.

Code: Select all

meson setup _build
meson compile -C _build
meson install -C _build
