Installation issue ( git not working, make missing a project file ) #27

Closed achobanov closed 8 years ago

achobanov commented 9 years ago

Hello,

I apologize if this is way stupid, but I am new to Linux, new to programming and C# in particular. On the flip side I don't like MonoDevelop at all and I wish to compile and debug manually. So many many thanks to all of you smart people making this possible, however I have an installation problem. I can not understand how to properly use the 'git' command and this is ( I presume ) causing make to yell that it is missing Project file "debugger-libs.sln". Would you mind to help out?

Thanks, Alex

You probably need to run

git submodule update --init --recursive

Good luck!

achobanov commented 9 years ago

Yea, probably. The problem is that I can't. Outputs: fatal: Not a git repository (or any parent up to mount point /home) Stopping at filesystem boundary (GIT_DISCOVERY_ACROSS_FILESYSTEM not set).

Hey, are you building from a Git clone or a tarball? If the latter, perhaps GitHub doesn't include submodules in tarballs (which would suck).

At any rate, building from Git like this should work:

$ cd /home/<you>/src # or wherever
$ git clone git://github.com/mono/sdb.git
$ cd sdb
$ git submodule update --init --recursive
$ make

That seemed to work, but I smell something fishy. In other words make check outputs:

fsharpc --debug+ --nologo --warnaserror --keyfile:mono.snk --out:chk/check.exe --target:exe chk/check.fs make: fsharpc: Command not found make: *\ [chk/check.exe] Error 127

If that helps.

If you are familiar with the cs50 edX course, I did setup my system, including a make script that compiles C applications with clang. Could that interfere?

That just means you don't have F# installed. Can't run the test suite without it.

achobanov commented 9 years ago

I tried installing F#, but it seems I was unsuccessful. I followed the steps in this tutorial: http://www.cs.princeton.edu/courses/archive/fall10/cos597C/FsharpUbuntuInstall.htm

I am not sure about what kind of system you are using, but on modern Debian/Ubuntu, you can just apt-get install fsharp. In any case, sdb should work fine without it.
