Setting up a Dev Env in Ubuntu Linux

Here I will go through my steps with installing the Hugo Unix compiler in Ubuntu Light on a spare and crappy laptop!

- Downloaded newest version from BitBucket via URL https://bitbucket.org/0branch/hugo-unix/downloads/
- Renamed folder to simply "Hugo" in my Home folder.

Attempt #1:

gumby@DEATH:~/Hugo$ make

(I get normal Hugo make messages until the following)

gcc/hegcc.c:41:10: fatal error: ncurses.h: No such file or directory
#include <ncurses.h>
^~~~~~~~~~~
compilation terminated.
Makefile:211: recipe for target 'hegcc.o' failed
make[1]: *** [hegcc.o] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/gumby/Hugo'
Makefile:177: recipe for target 'all' failed
make: *** [all] Error 2
gumby@DEATH:~/Hugo$


Then I ran:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

(Restarted laptop to make sure new Linux kernel boots clean)



gumby@DEATH:~/Hugo$ sudo apt-get install ncurses
[sudo] password for gumby:

"Well, shit. In fact, CURSES!!"


gumby@DEATH:~/Hugo$ sudo apt-get install libncurses5-dev

Use 'sudo apt autoremove' to remove them.
The following additional packages will be installed:

Do you want to continue? [Y/n]


"Alright alright.."

"OK. Let's try to make the compiler again.."

Now I see output ending in the follwing instead of an error:

cc -pipe -O2 -Wall -Wextra -pedantic -o hd he.o heexpr.o hemisc.o heobject.o heparse.o herun.o heres.o heset.o stringfn.o hegcc.o hd.o hddecode.o hdmisc.o hdtools.o hdupdate.o hdval.o hdwindow.o hdgcc.o -lncurses -ltinfo

"Cool. Let's test executing the binary.."

Note: This assumes you installed Linux for "hacking the planet" and you already can build C code. If not, run:

sudo apt-get install build-essential
