Bug Description

Trying to run the installscript of Jokosher 0.2 gives me the following error. I had the edgy-package of 0.1 installed before and removed it now, but it did not make a difference.

Removing the old config file solved the problem partially, now the script stops with message 2). Then bison is not automatically installed 3). Then 4) flex, then 5) liboil-dev

After manually fixing these issues installing works fine (installing bison, flex liboil3-dev.

After all this I can't create a project - I will report further bugs, when I know I can get jokosher properly installed.

Never the less, great project - I was really waiting for someone to do this (it's like preschedueled chrismas :).

It requries quite some hands-on and is not at all as automatic as advertized. I had to use apt-get, add/remove and synaptics to find all packages that provides the missing tools. Automake for instance have another version (1.4) in Dapper but the repository containes newer versions also. Tricky! I'll get back with a report when the build has finished and I am able to try out the application.

It compiled finally after some hands-on package downloading. I didn't have to tweak any packages. I have now started to use it so will report new bugs when found. It looks like great fun! :-)

Joakim: I would very much appreciate a list of the packages that you had to manually install; I can then make the script check for them. Do you have that list? (You might be able to retrieve your recent apt-get commands from your shell history by typing "history" in a terminal.)

The first reporter had this output in their console

This I think is the apt-get build-dep bowing out and none of the dependencies will get pulled in in this case. Don't know if something similar happened in the case of the second report. I also don't understand the message as the script is trying to find dependencies for gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly in any case so where does this come from?

I am at work not having access to the computer but the tools I remember that
the install script stopped upon are

- make
- bison
- automake (Wrong version)
- gst-ugly0.10...

And possibly a few other, I will check my install history when I get back home
tonight. Finally the script identified some 143 packages that it asked me to
accept to install.

In essence I found this in my history with history | grep apt-get

  484 sudo apt-get install alsa
  487 sudo apt-get install libtool
  488 sudo apt-get install pkg-config
  489 sudo apt-get install automake-1.9
  492 sudo apt-get install bison

In addition I used Synaptics and Application->Add/Remove for some other
packages than gst-ugly0.10... that I have forgot about. This is on Dapper BTW

I had a similar problem with the autoinstall script. I just needed to run

 sudo apt-get install automake1.9

'automake-1.9' didn't work

You are correct, I edited the history list removing some typos, and apparantly created some new ashwell...

I've just been running the installscript on everyone's favourite Eft, as instructed by His Baconness. I had to manually install the following packages: bison, flex, liboil0.3-dev, python-gtk2-dev.

Hope this helps, Stuart.

Installing liboil0.3-dev fixed this, of course.

Install script is really old and won't be used anymore. You should be able to get the proper gstreamer version from your distro's packages.
