Forum - Unable to compile unrar-nonfree because of man

Hi,

I'm unable to compile unrar-nonfree.
The process quits with the following error:

Code:

g++  -O2 -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -DUNRAR -c scantree.cpp

g++ -o unrar  rar.o strlist.o strfn.o pathfn.o savepos.o smallfn.o global.o file.o filefn.o filcreat.o archive.o arcread.o unicode.o system.o isnt.o crypt.o crc.o rawread.o encname.o resource.o match.o timefn.o rdwrfn.o consio.o options.o ulinks.o errhnd.o rarvm.o rijndael.o getbits.o sha1.o extinfo.o extract.o volume.o list.o find.o unpack.o cmddata.o filestr.o recvol.o rs.o scantree.o

To me, it seems like the make process needs the full version of man and not the BusyBox version of it.
Is there a way to install the full man, so I can finally compile unrar?

Technically, yes - but it seems we already have it packaged:

Code:

xbian@xbian ~ $ apt-cache policy unrar

unrar:

  Installed: (none)

  Candidate: 1:4.1.4-1

  Version table:

     1:4.1.4-1 0

        500 http://xbian.brantje.com/ stable/main armhf Packages

unrar-free can't extract multipart archives.

As menakite has already implied: You don't need to compile it by yourself and you even don't need to follow the how-to posted by f1vefour.

All you have to do is:

Terminal

sudo apt-get install unrar

and you will get the nonfree version....

Thanks, this actually helped.. haha so simple.. Big Grin

He did need to follow the instructions if he wanted to compile it himself.

I assumed he had already tried unrar in the repository and it failed to work.
