Dear Naba, all. First of all, thanks for the CVS hourly tarball fix. There is one little problem, on my system, the compilation failed on manual/reference/libanjuta-docs.sgml. I just disable that in the Makefile.
And here's my story, maybe it'll be worthwhile to those poor souls behind office firewall/proxy, that want to get to know Anjuta2 or other open source apps that doesn't have distro release, yet. First, I download anjuta CVS hourly tarball from the http://www.anjuta.org/anjuta.php?page=development. page. Then I found out that in Debian/Unstable, I still doesn't have the following required packages: gdl and gnome-build. So I go to one of gnome ftp MIRRORS and download gdl and gnome-build compressed tar files there. Unpack gdl, ./configure --prefix=/usr (I don't like installing in /usr/local), and make. Predictedly, make failed with a bunch of errors. The only solution is comparing the files that generate errors with the files in the CVS using GNOME's ViewCVS interface. Found out that there are so many files changed there. Looking around here and there, I get to know http://cvsgrab.sf.net excellent software that allowed you to download packages from their homepage's ViewCVS interface. Sourceforge, freedesktop, and GNOME have this. After played around a while, unluckily it always failed on downloading packages from GNOME's website. But when I test downloading packages from sourceforge and freedesktop, it went just fine. Stressed enough at this point. And then I learned that we can easily download a file using ViewCVS by just entering the url commands. Take this info, and then also knowing that I have downloaded the tarballs, so I just do this to update the package files (example using gdl): $ tar jxf gdl-0.4.0.tar.bz2 $ cd gdl-0.4.0 $ for i in `find * -type f`; do wget -x http://cvs.gnome.org/viewcvs/*checkout*/gdl/$i; done and then (on my local dir): cd cvs.gnome.org/viewcvs/*checkout*/gdl (wget -x created these directories). another wget to get the autogen.sh wget -c http://cvs.gnome.org/viewcvs/*checkout*/gdl/autogen.sh actually for gnome packages I can get by without autogen.sh just uses gnome-autogen. But I thought, I downloaded it anyway, to make sure. and then: chmod 755 autogen.sh && ./autogen.sh goes the compilation processes on. At some points it stopped with errors, which I found out because of some more files are still missing. I just wget -c them manually, one at a time (and praying that it won't be too many files to download). I'am quite sure that someone can make a script to automate this whole process. Maybe by fixing the cvsgrab or by making another program/perl script?. I didn't just fixed cvsgrab because it is written in Java, and I don't know enough about java. After gdl compiled and installed, I did the same thing with gnome-build package. And then unpack anjuta2 tarball, cd into it, and then run: ./configure found some errors on the libanjuta, contacting [EMAIL PROTECTED] and have Naba replied saying it already fixed in the newest tarball. So I downloaded the tarball again. this time configure went ok. But make still has some errors (the one I describe earlier). Luckily it's just about error building the docs, so I just disabled them. and then make install. That's it. I really hope that somebody step forward and make debian package on gdl and gnome-build. I really be very thankful for that. Or, Naba, would you be considering to also put gdl and gnome-build on anjuta tarballs? at least for a while? Sorry for my bad english.
