How to install cdemu..

[Herm87]

Try this patch: http://bugs.gentoo.org/attachment.cg...42&action=view
Worked fine for me (being a linux-newbie) using ubuntu 7.10 gutsy x86_64 on an AMD64 with Kernel ver 2.6.22-14-generic. Packaging with checkinstall -D also works.

Hello , I get the same error as you got when trying to compile.
I am quite the ubuntu n00b so I am not able to work out how to get the patch above working . Could you please elaborate a little ? How do you make a update file of the text in the link ?

To get the patch working, download the source code, extract it to your desktop. Then download the patch and it put in the folder that was just created on your desktop. Then open up your terminal, and cd to the folder and use the command posted above. Then you can follow the instructions on the first page of this topic starting with make.

If you don't have patch, the terminal will tell you the apt command to get it. Also be sure you get the headers as described in the first post.

First of all, thx Herm87 for the patch provided, it helped me to compile CDemu 0.8 from their website.
Secondly, CDemu is supposedly having issues with 2.6.22.6 and 2.6.22.8 kernels, as reported here:
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/f...me=cdemu-devel

Its a big issue, and as CDemu is only software of its kind on Linux platform, i`m considering kernel update. Are you guys using CDemu on 2.6.22.x and if so, what version exactly?

Best regards

I get the same error the patch is supposed to fix, but whenever i try to patch it by the command above, nothin happens. If anyone can help me Id appreciate it, even if its by just tellin me to get another emulator !

Please post your exact steps and anything the terminal returns.

Did you download the patch file and put in the extracted source directory?

Hello all,
Firstly, let me state that I'm very new to Ubuntu, and have fairly limited experience with linux in general, hence my mistake may be something blindingly obvious to you.
I'm trying to install CDemu on Gutsy Gibbon (7.10)
I have followed the original guide posted and come to the same error as slapgat on entering the command 'make'. I'm now trying to install the patch and I'm afraid I don't really follow the instructions given. Clicking the link gives a wall of code, which presumably must be saved. I've saved it in a text document, which I've guessed from the command given ought to be named name.diff and then copied said file into my cdemu-0.8 folder. Running the command
patch -pl < name.diff
gives the error 'patch: **** strip count l is not a number'
Running 'make' then errors as before.
What am I doing wrong? My guess is that I'm saving the patch as the wrong thing / in totally the wrong way.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Running the command
patch -pl < name.diff

It should be a number 1 not an l. Hence, it telling you that l is not a number.

Also, for learning purposes, in most cases filename doesn't matter as long as you're concious of what you're doing. If you save the patch as ABC.diff, then when you use the command you do patch -p1 < ABC.diff. The "name.diff" was a variable, a filler.
