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?
Hrm. I don't think building from a tarball will work -- I don't think we
include 'pdclib' in that. We're working on fixing that by moving away
from pdclib, but that's stalled in debian process at this point.
You'll need to clone from git to be able to get the correct pdclib sources.
Also, I assume I should be running this under the root prompt (#), not
in user prompt ($)?
No, you should be using the regular user mode for all of this; root mode
is only for administering the system.
# apt install git
# apt build-dep altos
$ git clone git://git.gag.com/scm/git/fw/altos
$ cd altos
$ sh autogen.sh
$ git submodule init
$ git submodule update
$ make
