[SOLVED] Installing XAutoClick....

**timstone** · October 2nd, 2008

ok...got this far...installed build-essential and then did

Code:

tar xvzf xautoclick-0.19-src.tar.gz
cd /home/tim/Desktop/xautoclick-0.19-src.tar.gz
./configure

got an error here for some reason saying "make: Nothing to be done for `all'."

Code:

make

Code:

sudo make install

everything seemed to have installed at /usr/local/man/man1

checked the directory and there was only 1 file... xautoclick.1

wtf do i do now?

Here the manual

http://xautoclick.sourceforge.net/documentation.html

Depending on which libraries are available on your system, any of aautoclick, cautoclick, gautoclick, gautoclick2 or qtautoclick should work now.

Try to run in terminal one of the stressed commands

Code:

gautoclick
gautoclick2
qautoclick

**timstone** · October 2nd, 2008

none of those commands worked...

Code:

~$ gautoclick
bash: gautoclick: command not found
~$ gautoclick2
bash: gautoclick2: command not found
~$ qautoclick
bash: qautoclick: command not found

oh and that URL must be something else you were working on....its a post on another forum about a USB stick drive

yes, im a noob

The second command should be:

cd /home/tim/Desktop/xautoclick-0.10-src

Or whatever the directory is called. You can't change directory into a compressed archive.

There is "kautoclick" in the repositories - are you aware of this program?

sorry
link fixed.

weird that none of the commands work; and the installation was complete and flawless?

maybe I'm just too stupid to be using linux....this is what i get with kautoclick

this is after its already extracted...

Code:

tim@tim-desktop:~$ cd /home/tim/Desktop/k
tim@tim-desktop:~/Desktop/k$ ./configure
configure: error: cannot find sources (acinclude.m4) in . or ..
tim@tim-desktop:~/Desktop/k$

That's because you don't have any of the X11, GTK+ or QT development packages installed. If you look at the output of ./configure you'll see that the endreport says 'no' to all the xautoclick variants.

Try something like:

sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-dev gtk2-dev

then run ./configure again, make and sudo make install

I found this directory since I was trying to install the same thing.

I followed all the steps but when I get to installing the GTK developer part I get this.

~/xautoclick-0.20-src$ sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-dev gtk2-dev
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
xserver-xorg-dev is already the newest version.
E: Couldn't find package gtk2-dev

Unfortunately I have installed xserver-xorg-dev fine and still have the same problems as the original poster. Unfortunately kautoclicker doesn't click fast enough for me and therefore is not an option as I haven't been able to find a place to change the artificial limit of 200 ms.
