As I couldn't find installation directions in the SN-5.0 tarball, I just did
'make' and 'make install' instead of 'make all-snavigator' and 'make
install-snavigator'. When I did the two latter steps, I had a clean build
and installation. './source/README' refers me to an 'INSTALL' directory,
which I didn't find. The text of ./source/snavigator/README is "README".
&8-)

If someone could confirm whether/where the building and installation
information is in the fileset, I would be appreciative (and embarrassed, but
not for the first time).

Thanks again.

I don't think they are.  They were in the announcement sent to this
list, but I don't think they're in the tarball.  (Of course, this is
silly---the default targets ought to work, and presumably will
shortly.)

When do we get CVS?

Mo -

Thanks - I seem to have successfully built all the required pieces, but may
not have gotten a few of them installed -- probably the installation had
been abandoned somewhere short of completion. ('du' seems to show a few
hundred KBy more stuff.)

I actually bought SN-4.2 and a 4.5 upgrade, and I do like the tool.

Did the `make install-snavigator` rule fail? If not, then everything
should have been installed correctly.

Glad to hear it. Now that the source is GPLed, you can
also fix anything you don't like about SN. We think
5.0 is a lot better than the 4.X series, but we are
interested in hearing from longtime users when it
comes to stability and general ease of use issues.

SN-5.0 Building Question

[Mills, John]

Hello -

I just built SN-5.0 from 'SN50-010322-source.tar.gz' in a GNU/Linux RH6.2
setup. The "% make" build was successful except for the following error:
"...
make[1]: Leaving directory `/tmp/build/snavigator/libgui'
make: *** No rule to make target `all-libremote', needed by `all-sid'.
Stop.
make[1]: Entering directory `/tmp/build/snavigator/db'
..."

I forced the build to complete ("% make -k") with no further errors, and the
results installed and at least start OK.

What am I missing, and is it important? If so, how can I build the missing
piece(s)?

Thanks.

Sorry about that, the next bug fix release should fix that
missing rule problem. For now, you just run `make all-snavigator`
and the `make install-snavigator`.
