Scripted compilation failed

[F_D2760]

Hi,

Because of a change of a hard disk, I can't install FG with the script download_and_compile.sh. (It was downloaded from the wiki)

Code: Select all

sh download_and_compile.sh -sx
download_and_compile.sh: 74: download_and_compile.sh: Syntax error: "(" unexpected


That's all I got.

Use "bash" instead of "sh" (or I think "./download_and_compile.sh" will also work).

Hi,

Thought I've tried... and it didn't work, but now seems to be Ok with ./ instead of sh!

Thanks a lot.

Could you try without the "-sx" and just "-s"?

[F_D2760]

Hi,

I've just tried with only -s and it gave me an error.

Here the log file

Hope it helps!

Looks like an error with the connection.

Can you make sure you have all the needed packages installed?

[F_D2760]

Hi,

I've tried many times and every time I got the message that everything is up-to-date.

I really don't know what's wrong with this!

Thanks for your helping...

Hi,

I've erased all the datas on my HD to be sure there's nothing disturbing the script... and still the same error :

Code: Select all

++ cd /home3/install/fgfs
++ pwd
+ fgdata_container=/home3/install/fgfs
+ fgdata_directory='./fgdata[-_]2.12.1/fgdata'
+ [[ -e /home3/install/fgfs/fgdata ]]
+ [[ -e /home3/install/fgfs/fgdata ]]
+ echo 'fgdata version 2.12.1 will be downloaded.'
fgdata version 2.12.1 will be downloaded.
+ SET_WINDOW_TITLE ' FGDATA'
+ echo -ne '\033]0;Build Flightgear:  -  /home3 -  FGDATA\007'
]0;Build Flightgear:  -  /home3 -  FGDATA++ pwd
+ EXDIR=/home3
+ cd /home3/install/fgfs
+ echo 'GIT DATA FROM git://gitorious.org/fg/fgdata.git  ... '
GIT DATA FROM git://gitorious.org/fg/fgdata.git  ...
+ '[' '!' -e fgdata ']'
+ git clone git://gitorious.org/fg/fgdata.git fgdata
Cloning into 'fgdata'...
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly
fatal: early EOF
fatal: index-pack failed

What can I do?
Where to get some more info?

The command

Code: Select all

git clone git://gitorious.org/fg/fgdata.git fgdata


failed. This can happen since fgdata is quite large and the cloning process is sensitive to network interruption.

You can rerun just this command (someone who uses the script needs to fill in what where you should place the fgdata directory) and if it fails again there are some backup options, e.g. the fgdata git bundle that you can download with a normal HTTP file download (which is can be resumed after an interruption).

IMPORTANT: If you do succeed to clone fgdata there is no reason whatsoever (short of massive file system failure) to ever delete it and reclone. You have the full history of fgdata at your finger tips and can extract any past release or version you'd like from it - and you can refresh it at any time by only downloading the new changes.

Hi,

Thank you for this answer.

What you tell me at the end of your message is what I usually do, or done on my previous HD.

So I will keep on doing like that after one successfull installation on this one.

It's really the first times I get such a "bad connection" to get the datas.

Hi,

Still not working... I give up!

I'll test again when I get the next KUbuntu version installed.

Regards.

Hi,

Thanks to all contributors and developpers!

With the new script, the compilation worked and I no have FG working, quite fine.

Regards.
