way too difficult to setup #10

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. try to install gitso
2.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
no step by step or install screenshots available

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Mac OS X & ubuntu
what does this mean? "Run:./makegitso.pl --> Gitso.dmg"  

Please provide any additional information below.
this is way to complicated to setup.  after dl'ing python and gitso on mac 
10.4.11, gitso returns 
the following error:
2008-11-05 21:53:37.381 Gitso[2793] A Python runtime could be located.  You may 
need to 
install a framework build of Python, or edit the PyRuntimeLocations array in 
this application's 
Info.plist file.

again, not exactly user friendly...

since the person who is requesting help will probably have to download and 
install gitso, 
providing clear instructions would be a huge help.  for example, to install 
gitso on ubuntu, can i 
just download the file and double click on the .deb package? 

because:  "Run:./makegitso.pl --> gitso_0.5_all.deb" doesn't look very user 
friendly

It seems there are 3 things going on here: 1) Confusion between building and
installing Gitso, 2) The errors you are getting and 3) One of the operating 
systems
you are running is unsupported by Gitso (Mac OS X 10.4).

1) If you could let me know a little more about what you are doing that'd be 
great.
Specifically, are you trying to build Gitso from source or simply install and 
use it?
If you're looking for ease of use, Gitso is fully usable without ever having to
manually build it from source. We have installation packages for Mac OS 10.5, 
Ubuntu
and Windows available on our download page.

The commands you gave were for building from source.  If you are trying to build
Gitso, you just run the command you mentioned (./makegitso.pl) from the root
directory of the source tree and it'll build your installer for you. The build
procedure should be pretty easy, just run the command at the command prompt and
voila, you've got your installer.

2) If there are bugs in the build script, that is an entirely different matter. 
 Are
these errors from running Gitso or building it? If you are building Gitso on a 
Mac,
you need py2app (link on Gitso home page).

3) Gitso isn't supported on OS X 10.4.  On the home page, we mention Gitso 
requires
Mac OS X 10.5 (for the mac). It's possible Gitso runs on 10.4, but we have not 
data
to suggest that is does.

If you are in search of a VNC solution for Mac OS X 10.4, "Chicken of the VNC" 
is
pretty solid as is OSXvnc.

thanks for the quick response.

1)  i mistakenly took the files listed under building gitso as the install 
files.  it works great on win xp.  have yet to 
test it on ubuntu

3) i can confirm that gitso does not run on 10.4.

The simple fix here is to install fink and issue the following command: fink 
install
libjpeg  This makes Gitso work on OSX 10.5
