git submodules not working as they should? #61

Closed 7yl4r closed 10 years ago

7yl4r commented 10 years ago

according to this submodules should be good to go after doing git submodule init and git submodule update, but when I attempt to clone a new repo and do this the submodules do not get loaded at all. They can still be added manually using git submodule add whatever wherever (as the INSTALL.md current explains`, but this is probably not ideal.

Rather than spending too much time troubleshooting this, however.. maybe this is a good opportunity to write up an install script. I'm thinking it would be best to write it in python, but this wouldn't take the typical setup.py-library-install form. The goal is not to ever be a library or enable pip/easy_install usage, this is just to help people get into dev quicker.

I would definitely appreciate that!

I just cloned a different repo and used git submodules and it worked as advertised, I'm not sure what our issue here is.

7yl4r commented 10 years ago

Alright, @Gobi-the-Mansoe , I just added the INSTALL.py. Give it a shot and let me know where it breaks.

It should work now. All we need to do is verify that the install script works and then we can close this when you get the chance.
