Hi,

I know this may sound as a rather stupid question, but where is located DSSS manual? I can't find it!

Of course I looked for it here: http://www.dsource.org/projects/dsss.

Thank you, Luca.

It's sort of split up, but this is the most useful doc in my opinion. http://www.dsource.org/projects/dsss/wiki/DSSSForSoftwareEngineers

Thank you Bill for your fastestthanlight reply!!
I think I've some sort of installation issue, but that document doesn't cover dsss installation.
I've added dsss/bin to my PATH, but when I try to build something I get:

$ dsss build
Failed to determine DSSS' installed prefix.
$

Could you help me please?

Thanks you,

Luca.

You need to give dsss a place to install your program.

$ dsss --prefix=<prefix> build

I would suggest installing dsss to the system, do this from within the where you have dsss. Then you won't have to include prefix every time (though doing the above may only need to be done once)

# ./dsss --prefix=/usr/local install

Also when you do builds without root privilege you will get a message:

Can't write to /usr/local using ~/d

Just ignore it.

Thank you Jesse for your reply.

I'm sorry, I followed your instructions, but I didn't manage to make it work properly.

None of these worked:

$ dsss --prefix=<prefix> build
Unrecognized argument: --prefix=-/build
(where ./build is, if I'm not wrong, the place where I want to install my program)

neither

$ dsss build --prefix=./build
Failed to determine DSSS' installed prefix.

What I'm doing wrong?

Thank you,

Luca.

I forgot to say that I also tryied:

$ ./dsss install --prefix=/home/luca/workspace/

from the directory where dsss is located, but all I got was:

No config file found and no targets explicitly specified.

Argh!!!

Thx, Luca.

I don't think this actually has anything to do with the --prefix argument.  The error says that DSSS can't figure out where it lives.

How did you install DSSS?  Where is it located, and how did you add it to your path?

Hi Jarrett,

this is what I did:

$ mkdir ws
$ cd ws
$ wget http://svn.dsource.org/projects/dsss/downloads/0.78/dsss-0.78-x86-gnuWlinux.tar.bz2
$ tar xvvf tar xvvf dsss-0.78-x86-gnuWlinux.tar.bz2
$ export PATH="~/ws/dsss-0.78-x86-gnuWlinux/bin:$PATH"

Thank you,

Luca.

AAAARRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

what I miss was:

$ mv dsss-0.78-x86-gnuWlinux dsss

now it works.

Thank you everybody!!

P.S.: now it works, but even with the simpliest helloworld I got a strange ld error, damn!!!

OK, what's that error?
