SourceNavigator packages

SourceNavigator packages

[Yosi Markovich]

Hello,

I was looking through the SourceNavigator website, trying to find rpms for
this package without much luck. The binaries for SourceNavigator latest
version (5.0) were not even available for Linux. 
I would be more than grateful if you can let me know where can I get either
rpms or other forms of binary package for Linux (preferably, RedHat Linux).

Sincerely,

There is no Linux binary, you have to download the source and
compile it yourself. We are planning on creating an RPM
for a future release.

You can still use the debian packages I've made. Go to www.debian.org
and have a look, just extract the package and copy the tree to your system.
You just need the dpkg binary.


Check the deps and install rpms for those (but it shouldn't have many except
standard stuff)

Or can alien target rpms? ;)

If you're interested you may convert the package to rpm. Many people have
been asking for rpms.

Thanks,

The easiest thing to do is download the source and build it. There is no 
such thing as a univeral binary that runs on all Linux platforms. And 
Source-Navigator has some dependencies which make generating RPMs 
somewhat tricky.

However, it is not that hard to build. Download the source tarball, 
unpack it, go into the directory and type "./configure; make 
all-snavigator; make install-snavigator".
