[Software] Error When Running Make From Makefile

[savantsavior]

Hi,

I get the below error message when I try to make an Linux application from makefile?

]jlp@megatron-desktop:~/Desktop/source_tc4-tribute2$ make
g++ -pipe -Wall -g -I/usr/include/SDL2 -D_REENTRANT -c src/main.cpp -o src/main.o
make: g++: No such file or directory
make: *** [makefile:46: src/main.o] Error 127

Any idea about how to fix the above?
I am running Kubuntu 25.04 fully updated

25.04? You posted in 24.10.

Can you move this forum thread to the correct location?
Thanks

It appears you haven't run

sudo apt install build-essential

That will get you past the g++ problem... but you may be missing other dependencies. Generally, if one is building software that has been packaged for APT, it is a good idea to run

sudo apt-get build-dep <package-name>

"tc4" suggests something to do with topcat, the "Tool for OPerations on Catalogues And Tables". If that is so, running

sudo apt-get build-dep topcat

might be the trick. Otherwise, you have to rely on the project's documentation for the dependencies.

Actually probably t-crisis, a tetris clone game. But not knowing the source or url for this, the code downloaded hopefully has build instructions that include other dependencies.
