Problems installing no-ip updater

[tokendream]

Hi Everyone,

I’ve just installed OSMC, having used Raspbmc for a few years. I’m trying to install the no-ip updater software on my Raspberry Pi (I didn’t try this in Raspbmc) but I’m new to linux and i’m getting stuck. I’m new to this forum to but I’m hoping someone can help me out, I’m sure it’s a very basic thing I’m trying to do.

I’m following the instructions at the following link How to Install the Dynamic Update Client on Linux

I get to the command

sudo make

and get the following error.

/home/pi/noip/noip-2.1.9-1$ sudo make
sudo: make: command not found

I’ve read that this error can occur if GCC is not installed, so I tried the following;

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install rbp-userland-dev-osmc (not sure if this was needed)
sudo apt-get install gcc

I’ve rebooted and I’m still getting the same error. If anyone can point me in the right direction it would be a great help.

Many thanks in advance,

Alan

Try installing build-essential - that is usually all that is needed for compiling software on OSMC.

Many thanks for the quick reply.

This resolved my issue. I spent a few hours last night wrestling with this so it’s a relief to be over that particular hurdle… onto the next one. Getting it to run at startup. I’ve done this before in the distance past so this shouldn’t be too much trouble.

Thanks again

Help with compiling a program

I suspect you don’t have all the necessary build tools installed. Try: sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install build-essential build-essential installs a big bundle of different packages (including gcc, make and so on) that you need for compiling. While you’ve installed a few of those manually there will still be a lot that are missing. build-essential and git are the only packages I need to install in a fresh OSMC install to start building/compiling.

Hi,

I suggest creating a new post with logs:-

To get a better understanding of the problem you are experiencing we need more information from you. The best way to get this information is for you to upload logs that demonstrate your problem. You can learn more about how to submit a useful support request here.

Depending on the used skin you have to set the settings-level to standard or higher, in summary:

• enable debug logging at settings->system->logging

• reboot the OSMC device twice(!)

• reproduce the issue

• upload the log set (all configs and logs!) either using the Log Uploader method within the My OSMC menu in the GUI or the ssh method invoking command grab-logs -A

• publish the provided URL from the log set upload, here

Thanks for your understanding. We hope that we can help you get up and running again shortly.

Have you run sudo apt-get update recently?
