/usr/bin/install: cannot stat './libtrickle.so': No such file or directory

[ibrokemypie]

libtrickle.so is not being built, it does not exist and I can't see how it can. Trickle therefore refuses to install.

Having the same issue on CentOS 7.3.1611.

Same error with trickle 66551ad on Slackware64 14.2.
It happens during the "make install" step.

Do you have a fix for that?

[r2938jlfsfsh]

There's probably a better fix, but updating the Makefile as follows worked for me:
############################################

Commented out:

###libtrickle.so: trickle-overload.c atomicio.c
###########################################

Added:

libtrickle.so: trickle-overload.lo atomicio.lo
$(LIBTOOL) --mode=link $(CC) $(CFLAGS) -o libtmp$@.la
-rpath $(libdir)/trickle trickle-overload.lo atomicio.lo $(LIBS)
$(LDFLAGS) -module -avoid-version -nostdlib -ldl
@rm -f [email protected] [email protected]* $@
@cp .libs/[email protected] $@
@rm -f .libs/libtmp$@.*
#############################################

[YuGiOhJCJ]

Thanks it works.
As the file Makefile is not part of this repository, I guess it is better to apply your patch on the file Makefile.am with the command patch -p0 < trickle-66551ad94ad3d8af83e1e4422804676ac8762f47.patch then run the command autoreconf -fi to generate the file Makefile.
Here is the patch:
