the line above downloads and install the packages listed... imagine a package as a .msi in windows. packages contain files (can be source code, executable, configuration files, etc) > Might be useful to set some default, please type this command: > sudo update-alternatives --set moc /usr/bin/moc-qt4 > create directory /home/(username)/src $HOME is equal to %HOME% in windows > mkdir $HOME/src > cd $HOME/src wget is to download web pages/files (but also ftp). It downloads the file MBaggharbour2_svn. It's like a browser text-based. > wget http://www.elart.it/harbour/MBaggharbour2_svn sets the permissions so that only you can use this file and execute it (in unix permissions to execute is a specific permissions... like in windows "hidden" we have in linux Read Write Execute) > chmod 700 MBaggharbour2_svn execute the file ./MBaggharbour2_svn . Storically the local directory is not included in the path automatically so you have to indicate a path . Probaly this file is an auto-install file > ./MBaggharbour2_svn > And your system will be ready to compile hbide goes to directory /home/(username)/src/harbour/contrib/hbide > cd $HOME/src/harbour/contrib/hbide you should know this... > hbmk2 hbide -rebuild > to run hbide type: About apt-get: there is usually the possibility to download/install different versions of the same package, - something is supported sometimes not. For example (it's just an example !) you may have installed Qt3 and Qt4 on the same pc, but only one version of 4 and 3... can't have 4.2 and 4.3 ! (I repeat, it may be ok for Qt but not for other packages, was just a sample) Francesco _______________________________________________ Harbour mailing list (attachment size limit: 40KB) Harbour@harbour-project.org http://lists.harbour-project.org/mailman/listinfo/harbour
