Title: Autogen for TC5.x
Post by: Zill on August 11, 2014, 05:09:17 PM

I am trying to use Anjuta, and when I try to create a new project it says I need to install autogen version 5.  Unfortunately there is no autogen in the TC 5.x repo. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Trying to do something similar myself... could you get one of the old tcz files for autogen from google and install it using tce-load in the command line as explained at the bottom of this article which I have just found??

I'd like to know the answer because I am going to try something similar tomorrow for my question right beneath yours!

I compiled autogen a while ago, but must have forgotten to upload it - autogen now posted to corepure64 repo

bat: I tried the link you provided.  The commands they have are slightly off, if you have already downloaded it you do not need the -w.  The catch with this method is that it does not check for dependencies, so you may need to go through and repeat this step multiple times.  I have also reached a point where it seems one of the extensions I had to install before this is a newer version than one of the dependencies I need for the old version of autogen and I cannot get both versions installed (although that could just be an issue with my lack of knowledge with linux)

Juanito: is there some delay between when something gets put in the repo and when it shows up in the Apps program on TinyCore, or is there some other place I should be looking other than

I just realised that you're most probably speaking of a 32bit x86 version of autogen - it was the 64bit x86_64 version of autogen that I posted.

The problem for the 32bit version of autogen is that we'd first need to check the the guile extension in the tc-4.x 32bit repo works with tc-5.x in order to able to compile autogen against it.

I am in fact speaking of 32bit x86, I'm sorry I forgot to clarify.  I'm not entirely sure what I am doing, but if there is anything I can do to help out then please let me know.
