I've just installed recutils from source. If you do the same then be
aware that as well as the usual linux packages, you will also need
"check", "uuid-dev" and "bash-builtins" for a successful build. Perhaps
its obvious that they would be required, but its certainly not
documented - at least as far as I could discover. Sorry that this was
perhaps off-topic, but it might be useful for others.
Colin.
What flavor or OS are you using? I had a Debian Jessie desktop
(recently relegated to the junk heap; it was a reclaimed from a 2000 -
2001 machine which originally came with WindowsXT) and a LMDE2 laptop
(still in use and which I believe is based on Jessie) both of which
came with recutils-1.6, so last year installed 1.7 from source on
both. As I recall I had no problems. Perhaps I loaded the packages you
mentioned at earlier time.
Hi Charlie,
recutils-1.7 on Debian 3.2.78-1 i686 GNU/Linux. It installed ok, but
gave warnings on "make test". These disappeared on installing the
packages I mentioned.
Cheers, Colin.
I forgot!! Very conveniently, i might add. Last fall I discovered that
although recutils-1.7 was apparently installed correctly, it was not. I
could not use the readrec bash built-in. So I had to reinstall making
sure that I downloaded all the other required packages that listed in
the README-dev which Jose mentions in his recent message to this thread.
