Forgive some extremely basic questions, but what do I need to do to build
a reasonably stable version of Ledger 3.1 from source on MacOS 10.10?
I use MacPorts, but unfortunately the current ledger package there doesn't
build, due to an apparent incompability with Boost 1.59 (see Tim Smith's
email to this list on Aug 18). Unfortunately, I don't seem to be able to
reach MacPort's bugDB website right now, so I can't check to see if there's
an open ticket on this.
I've checked out a copy of the repository with
git clone https://github.com/ledger/ledger.git
and that appears to have succeeded.
Unfortunately, I'm not sure what to do next -- I'm a little confused by the
instructions at <https://github.com/ledger/ledger>, and I'm not sure
exactly which branch I want to be using. Not ALPHA, certainly, and
presumably not the default branch. I'm guessing RELEASE?
Unfortunately, following the directions on the web page for checking out
the RELEASE branch doesn't seem to work. Running "git checkout -b stable
v3.1" appears to succeed:
[ridcully:~/installers/ledger]$ git checkout -b stable v3.1
Switched to a new branch 'stable'
But then I can't build:
[ridcully:~/installers/ledger]$ ./acprep update
acprep: INFO: Invoking primary phase: update
acprep: INFO: Executing phase: update
acprep: INFO: Executing phase: pull
There is no tracking information for the current branch.
Please specify which branch you want to merge with.
See git-pull(1) for details
git pull <remote> <branch>
If you wish to set tracking information for this branch you can do so with:
git branch --set-upstream-to=origin/<branch> stable
acprep: ERROR: Execution failed: git pull
It's quite possible that I'm overlooking something extremely basic,
especially since I've essentially never used git before; I'm used to Hg and
SVN.
Any and all suggestions welcome.
Thanks,
Richard
