Ubuntu
nvidia-cg-toolkit package

How can I compile exqamples?

Asked by Miłosz Kosobucki

Most of source files in /usr/share/doc/nvidia-cg-toolkit are compressed with gzip. This makes included Makefiles invalid, because they are expecting uncompressed sources. Do I have to decompress sources by hand? Official nvidia .deb package has these sources uncompressed. Is there some additional Makefile that I cannot spot? If package maintainer decided to compress sources why no Makefile for decompressing them is provided?

Official nvidia .deb package has these sources uncompressed. Is there some additional Makefile that I cannot spot? Go to source's folder and try following commands:
  ./configure
  make
If package maintainer decided to compress sources why no Makefile for decompressing them is provided? Compression is for saving download time. You are supposed to uncompress by yourself.

.deb packages have data.tar.gz file inside them with contents of the package, so these source files are compressed anyway, so this argument doesn't make sense.

These examples are divided into many directories, so I would have to enter them one by one and extract files (bit tedious I'd say), or invoke something like find . -type f | xargs gzip -d (not too user friendly)

Look in which file you find file "configure".

mikom@boxer:~$ dpkg -L nvidia-cg-toolkit | grep configure
mikom@boxer:~$

I don't really know what are you referring to. As you can see above, this package doesn't have any configure file.

Can you help with this problem?
