Ranlib not found - makefile

I'm trying to cross-compile gst-ti-plugin for arm device but when I do make install libtool returns me error:
../libtool: line 1085: arm-none-linux-gnueabi-ranlib: command not found
The problem here is that this tool is available from PATH and when I'm trying it from console it works fine.
What could be wrong? I use CodeSourcery Toolchain.

I had a similar problem. When you sudo, you will lose your PATH environment variable. Thus, you either need to "su" and set PATH to ranlib or install without sudo. The latter can be accomplished by installing to a directory where your user has write permissions.

cygwin bash not returning a valid result

I am following this :
Step 2: Installing Cygwin
Cygwin can be downloaded from http://www.cygwin.com
Run the setup file.
Install from internet. Specify C:\cygwin as the root directory.
In the Select Packages dialog box, select the packages required. gcc-core, gcc-g++, gdb, and make packages are most important. These are the C core, C++ core, the GNU Debugger and the GNU version of ‘make’ utility. These packages will be under the ‘Devel’ category.
Complete the installation.
Step 3: Testing Cygwin
To test whether Cygwin was installed properly, try the following by opening the bash shell:
cygcheck -c cygwin
gcc --version
g++ --version
make --version
gdb --version
If the version details are displayed for all these commands, the installation of Cygwin has been successful.
I got this from here
But the result I get is:
What is wrong or missing with my installation.
Follow up question:
I wanted to use the terminal window in netbeans that is why I installed this.
In this terminal widnow I also have problem. I cant type anything on it. Is this the reason for it?
Try to run /usr/bin/g++. If it is not found, then you don't have g++ installed (installation may have had problems).
You can follow the same procedure for the rest of your commands
If /usr/bin/g++ runs successfully, it means you don't have /usr/bin in your PATH (which is very unlikely). You can put that in your PATH in your startup file.

how to invoke autogen on cygwin terminal to generate ./configure

I want to build configuration files using ./configure which is missing in downloaded software project(here: xerces-c-3.1.1-x86_64-linux-gcc-3.4).
Hence I want to use autogen(On cygwin terminal should I use autogen.sh or autogen.exe). What is the correct path of autogen.sh that is used to generate ./configure. When I give command autogen.sh this shows output...
bash: autogen.sh: command not found
Am I missing something?

autoreconf: command not found in Cygwin on Windows

I'm trying to compile the nDPI library in using Cygwin on Windows. When I try to run autogen.sh file I get the following error
./autogen.sh: line 5: autoreconf: command not found
I've been looking around now for four days to compile this nDPI library on Windows, and I DO NEED to compile it on Windows.
How do I compile this library on Windows?, OR
Is there a link that actually works and I can follow their steps to compile this library?
Here is the autogen.sh
#!/bin/sh
/bin/rm -f configure config.h config.h.in src/lib/Makefile.in
autoreconf -ivf
./configure
Try install autoconf, automake and libtool. It's under Devel of the Cygwin setup program.
To build MSYS tools, you should use the autotools provided in the MSYS System Builder package:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=2435&package_id=227249
autoconf-2.61-MSYS-1.0.11-1.tar.bz2
automake-1.10-MSYS-1.0.11-1.tar.bz2
libtool1.5-1.5.25a-20070701-MSYS-1.0.11-1.tar.bz2
Unpack them to the same location you extracted msys package.
I think you have to first solve the errors, since they indicate that you are lacking of some of the essential libraries. For example, the autoconf library...
If you are using Cygwin, you can get apt-cyg by:
lynx -source rawgit.com/transcode-open/apt-cyg/master/apt-cyg > apt-cyg
install apt-cyg /bin
After that, you can use apt-cyg install xxx to install the lacking libraries.

aclocal version problem on Mac OSX Snow Leopard

I am trying to compile an open source program on Mac OSX and getting stuck trying to get the build configured. I have autoconf version 2.63 installed but trying to do reconfigure I get this error "aclocal.m4:14: error: this file was generated for autoconf 2.61." and "you should regenerate the build system entirely".
I researched this as best I could and most seemed to imply automake should be able to regenerate itself using the autoreconf command. Autoreconf fails as well with the exact same message.
Things I've tried: remaking and reinstalling the autoconf package, remaking and reinstalling the m4 package, running the above commands as root instead of as a user.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,
- Mike
Look for script like autogen.sh, they usually contain the right order of tools to run.
In this case the problem seems to be aclocal

Compiling Unix Version 6 in Snow Leopard

Hi i downloaded souce for unix version 6, i want to study it and test it. I am running Snow Leopard on a macbook pro.
1)Is there a way to compile it in mac. If i comile using make or gmake i am getting the following error.
*** Error: Couldn't find an i386-*-elf version of GCC/binutils.
*** Is the directory with i386-jos-elf-gcc in your PATH?
*** If your i386-*-elf toolchain is installed with a command
*** prefix other than 'i386-jos-elf-', set your GCCPREFIX
*** environment variable to that prefix and run 'make' again.
*** To turn off this error, run 'gmake GCCPREFIX= ...'.
2)I also want to run it in a virtual machine,I have VMWare installed on my machine. I don't know how to do that.
Download tarballs for gcc and binutils, expand them, then:
$ cd binutils-2.15
$ ./configure --target=i386-jos-elf
$ make
$ make install
$ cd ../gcc-3.4.1
$ ./configure --target=i386-jos-elf
$ make
$ make install
You will of course need to update the paths. (I got these instructions from MIT's OpenCourseWare.)
You'll have to go through the process of creating a new virtual machine and formatting and installing the OS onto its disk. I've used VirtualBox with some success, but I have no experience with VMWare; you're on your own there.
You might look into macports.org. It has several packages that look useful, notably "i386-elf-binutils". It installs into /opt/local/*, so you may need to make sure /opt/local/bin/ is in your path. (Although I believe it takes care of that by default.)
EDIT: Or maybe not. After a little more research, I wonder if these instructions and downloads are what you're looking for.
EDIT again: Corrected the download link. Sorry about that!
The build system you are using seems to require an ELF tool chain (used by Linux).
You could try to figure out if that can be changed, but since you have VMWare, try to compile it under a virtualized Linux (minimal Debian is quite light-weight).
As an alternative you may compile bournesh on Mac OS X.
