I followed the the instructions in HOWTO: install Gwget and Fireget Firefox extension

but when I'm trying to compile Gwget (using instruction in the INSTALL file) I have the following error messages :

laurent06000@PC-DE-LDP:~/Téléchargements/gwget-1.0.4$ ./configure

 found
configure: error: Your intltool is too old.  You need intltool 0.35.0 or later.

Then when I type make :

laurent06000@PC-DE-LDP:~/Téléchargements/gwget-1.0.4$ make
make: *** Pas de cible spécifiée et aucun makefile n'a été trouvé. Arrêt.

Moreover when I try to open the FireGet-0.6.xpi file it tells me that this version is incompatible with my Firefox version (41).

Any Idea ?

Install a current version of intltool. My Ubuntu 14.04.3 system has

||/ Name           Version      Architecture Description
+++-==============-============-============-=================================
ii  intltool       0.50.2-2     all          Utility scripts for international

This:

sudo apt-get install intltool  

should do it.

The other error message, which Google translate says is:

No target specified and no makefile found. Off.

is caused by the earlier failure of the ./configure script, which was supposed to create a [Mm]akefile, but did not. Fix the first problem, and this one will go away.

  • Thanks for your answer but this one was not a good idea. After I issued the "sudo apt-get install intltool" command, I tried within FF it but it cut all my uGet downloads I was doing and moreover forced me to a hard reboot. Oct 1, 2015 at 11:30
