Thanks to all contributors!

Macintosh people - if anyone successfully installs Gpredict 2.0 or 2.2 please post here. I have been working through an installation via MacPorts (have installed 1.3 on several Macs) but have not made it work yet.

I took a quick look at what it would take to create a self contained app bundle for Mac OS X and I think it it is too much work for me now. So the only hope left is Macports.

Alexandru - there is a guy in Italy that I have exchanged email with that has Gpredict 2.0 running but I think that he installed from source. I am trying to work with him to install via MacPorts and will post here when I have any results.

Hi … sorry for the noob question but … I cloned the project from git and found there is no “configure” script … not sure what to do. Thanks.

You could start with reading the README file included in the source tree :slight_smile:

I did … :slight_smile: … that where it says to “change to gpredict-x.y.z” and run “./configure” … but it doesn’t exist :expressionless:

pabut@runner:~/gpredict$ ls

You need to pay attention to the details. The above instructions apply to a release tarball, e.g. https://github.com/csete/gpredict/releases/download/v2.2/gpredict-2.2.tar.bz2

If you continue in the readme to the next section:

If you are building directly from the git repository, you have to run
./autogen.sh instead of of configure. You can pass the same options to the
autogen.sh script as you would to the configure script.

Doh! … got it … Thanks!
