From: "Mauricio Fernández" Date: 2003-04-16T02:01:14+09:00 Subject: ANN: Debian packages of FreeRIDE, FOX, FXRuby, Ripper, FXScintilla, etc cat >> /etc/apt/sources.list deb http://lsed.sourceforge.net/ruby/ debs/ deb-src http://lsed.sourceforge.net/ruby/ deb-src/ ^D apt-get update To install freeride 0.5.0rc2: apt-get install freeride This will take care of all needed dependencies, automatically. Moreover, you can run freeride with either ruby 1.6 or 1.7. If you want do so, type apt-get install freeride-base1.6 freeride-base1.7 The command to run freeride with ruby 1.6 is 'freeride' ruby 1.7 => 'freeride1.7' You can also build the packages locally, as in apt-get -b source freeride # => fetches source and builds the deb file locally This is the recommended way to get binaries for other platforms (any of the 11 currently supported by Debian; cross-check compatibility with Ruby and FOX). These are the available packages: freeride 0.5.0rc2-2 libfox1.0 1.0.36-1 libfxscintilla1 1.51-1 libfox-ruby 1.0.21-1 libfox-ruby1.7 1.0.21-1 libfox1.0-dev 1.0.36-1 libfox1.0-doc 1.0.36-1 libripper-ruby 0.0.5-1 libripper-ruby1.7 0.0.5-1 (some more uninteresting packages skipped :) -- _ _ | |__ __ _| |_ ___ _ __ ___ __ _ _ __ | '_ \ / _` | __/ __| '_ ` _ \ / _` | '_ \ | |_) | (_| | |_\__ \ | | | | | (_| | | | | |_.__/ \__,_|\__|___/_| |_| |_|\__,_|_| |_| Running Debian GNU/Linux Sid (unstable) batsman dot geo at yahoo dot com How should I know if it works?
