Got git gutless

[VK6FUN]

Hi

I'm trying to install git into precise 5.5 using puppy package manager.

ubuntu-precise main universe multiverse, puppy-precise-official and puppy-common official are the configured repositories.

I installed git-core and then tried to run git config. i got

Code: Select all

bash:  git:  command not found

So then I installed git-all. same result.

Pfind shows that some executables were installed to /usr/lib/git-core but none of them work. git-gui and gitk fail because there is no wish.
The massive load of dependencies demanded by git-all includes apache, emacs and a mountain of other junk I don't want.

A pile of empty directories were installed to /usr/share/doc but thats about it.

Where is that git?

[nilsonmorales]

I use this
git_1.7.2.5-3_i386.pet

[VK6FUN]

Thanx I'll try it. where did you find it?

[mikeb]

In my case I got Git from the slackware repositories via a Gftp bookmark.. it was small and to the point with no hairy dependancies. Debian/ubuntu do tend to want to include the Out house sink.

[VK6FUN]

Thanks that file worked perfectly.
Unfortunately it took a lot of heavy plumbing work to remove that Out house sink, more like a $*#@ng swimming pool..!!

now do you have a similar pup for cmake? The rubbish I installed from the ubuntu repository also contains no executable.

Is it possible some puppy script is removing them?

[Karl Godt]

What do you want to achieve ?

If you want to compile something,
it should not be too difficult to fetch the source and compile git and cmake for your wishes .

http://packages.ubuntu.com > Search > click source link .

[mikeb]

Cmake I got from slackware too... try gftp slackware.com bookmark...

slackware/slackware-14.0/slackware/d

or in a browser
http://ftp.slackware.com/.2/slackware/s ... ackware/d/

d for developement binaries...older repo might be fine too unless the sources demand otherwise.

OK Karl I'm happy to fork this thread into what I'm trying to do but I would like to understand what is going on with package manager and ubuntu.

I'm trying to get my rtl2832u dongle to do SDR with gnuradio and some other recent releases. Radio hams love the bleeding edge O_<

usually with puppy i download the devx sfs and most things eventually build.
To satisfy dependencies I first look in the puppy repositories. Then I come here because I know many obscure answers and dotpups are found only here. If I can't find the answers here I go ahead and download the source and compile it myself.
If I find out that the repositories are useless I will skip step one altogether and save myself a lot of time and effort.

meanwhile I boot up win7 and run SDR# which is free, simple to install and is sheer radio magic.

[mikeb]

you're welcome

Now the garabage starts ..

Finally needs Boost and that is a horror (at least for me) ..

[Karl Godt]

Now got boost 1.33.1 and 1.37 to compile cos least should be 1.35 and still a bunch of dependencies missing - one is Qt4 .

Could only make the documentation LOL

Giving up .

[VK6FUN]

Thanks for having a go!
You've taken some pain for me there.
I'll let you know if I make some progress.

[mikeb]

Ah thats why I passed my RAE but never got a license...

[VK6FUN]

hey mikeb if you still got the RAE certificate you just have to give ofcom some money and you'll have a forest of wire and aluminium on your roof in no time.
I don't believe it ever expires. otherwise if you have to start again theres this

[mikeb]

Hmm yes sounds familiar but dredging into my memory I did once get a callsign so must have had a license but the one I remember was G6BWD but not 100% that was it. It does not come up and I have a vague recollection of once a license was obtained it had to be renewed or the whole lot expired.
Indeed I never got the hang of morse as originally i was after an A license so a B was of little interest at the time.

mike

[VK6FUN]

afaik the AOCP never expires once attained. Not sure abt G-land.

the rtl2832u costs just ten to fifteen bux and is a 21st century crystal set-on-steroids capable of receiving anything from 24MHz to 1850MGz.

This impressive bandspread includes broadcast FM, Air Band, Mobile Phones, emergency services, aircraft radar, satellite you name it.

being just a receiver it requires no license.

The USB dongle has an antenna connector.It supplies two out-of-phase IF data streams and your software does the rest.

These things will become more common as people start to see their power.

hi VK6FUN,

both git and cmake are in the precise devx.sfs.

if you're interested in gnuradio, pemasu compiled one for upup raring..... you can follow the thread here http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... &start=150

the gnuradio package for raring puppy is here http://smokey01.com/pemasu/pet_packages-raring/

[mikeb]

If its any use I posted cmake 2.4.8 here... I used it to build marble.

cute radio, beats the one I built in a matchbox I made as a kid and sneaked into school

I took the easy way out and loaded lubuntu 13.04 and gqrx.
