install.newbies question

1.4 Editting linux-g++-shared
edit the file "mkspecs/linux-g++/qmake.conf and change all
references to "gcc" to "gcc3" as well as "g++" to "g++3"
(lines 12, 27, 47, and 48). save your changes (ctrl-o, ctrl-x)

what do I use to edit?


I get this

[root@localhost lib]# pico -w /usr/lib/qt-3.2.3/mkspecs/linux-g++/qmake.conf
bash: pico: command not found
[root@localhost lib]#
:rolleyes:

I use vi to do my edits.

[Tor K'tal]

You get that error because you don't have the pico package installed. Which I beleive is in the list of packages that are recommended/required, atleast it used to be.

But vi is perfectly viable editing tool (it's what I use as well).

vi commands to help you out
insert once = insert
insert twice = type over
ESC to stop typing
:q to exit
:w to write
:q! to exit and not write even if stuff changed

I normally hit ESC 3 of 4 times before I hit colon, but that is just my personally habbit.

I guess you are running a Desktop/Window Manager.
So, Gnome, KDE or something like that?
try kwrite if you are running KDE, there is a program installed with gnome too but I can't remember it.

In any case, there is also "nano" which is pretty simple and straight forward.

ok..

in the install.newbe it states

Code:

[]# cd /seq
[]# cvs -d:pserver:[email protected]:/cvsroot/seq login
[]# cvs -z3 -d:pserver:[email protected]:/cvsroot/seq co showeq
[]# cd /seq/showeq
[]# cvs update -P
[]# cvs -d :pserver:[email protected]:/cvsroot/seq logout

ok.. where do I make the /seq directory?


thanks

Wherever you want, that does not matter.

[uRit1u2CBBA=]

I personally use /usr/local/src, but as he said you can put it anywhere you want.

Though I've not been able to connect to cvs server in several days of trying. you might have to go to the news area back several months and find a recent tarball to download the source.

[Cryonic]

Ok, here is the deal. sourceforge stopped having seperate hostnames for
each project's cvs server

So, instead of using cvs.seq.sourceforge.net, you now need to use
cvs.sourceforge.net
The new cvsroot for seq is: cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/seq

thanks for the halp guys.. I got it up and running.. a very sweet deal. :D :D :D
