Hi Keith,
  Thanks for the tips.  Please remember I have almost zero Linux experience!

So, what I have done so far:
  • Created a VM on a windows machine
  • Installed Debian to the VM
  • Installed most of the altos stuff (commands mentioned below)
  • Got the source files (unzipped the .gz and put them under /usr/src)
  • Curiously the pdclib directory is empty.  See error below.
  • As per one of the files in the source that talks about compiling I have:
  • run "./configure" (to build the make files)
  • When "make" is run the following error occurs
/bin/bash/: git: command not found
Makefile:901: recipe for target 'pdclib/Makefile' failed
make: *** [pdclib/makefile] Error 127
Are you able to point me in the right direction to getting further with this please?

Also, I assume I should be running this under the root prompt (#), not in user prompt ($)?

Thanks
Stewart

Hi Keith,
   I want to compile the TeleMega firmware for the updated logging 
rate.  Is there a single document somewhere that walks me through the 
installation of Debian and the altos compile environment?  I have been 
able to set up a VM and can now work on getting Linux and the necessary 
programs installed.  Documentation seems really fragmented and 
complicated that I have seen so far.
$ sudo apt build-dep altos
This command would not work but I ended up using "apt-get build-dep altos", mentioned somewhere on altusmetrum.org

should install everything you need to build. Once you've got those tools
installed, you can just run the "usual" build process, which would be
familiar if you did a lot of Linux application development:

$ sh autogen.sh
$ make
The sh command worked ok I think.
The make command bombed out with an error.
