Hi r0ller,

Would have some video teaching because I'm not getting through this installation guide.

thank you

Hi Luís,

I'm afraid, I can't give you that, sorry.

yeah, I tried the recipe on that page, http://equinox-project.org/wiki/installingonminix

 I'm using the latest dev snapshot of Minix, on VirtualBox latest,

I ran into no subversion in the repo (using the  http://www.minix3.org/pkgsrc/packages/3.3.1/i386/All repo)

and a strange error

when I tried to just wget the sources...

and so I gave up.

Hi Kristofer,

That's a pity:( You can try curl instead of wget though. Luís has svn as his choice was 3.2.1 and as far as I can remember that release has it as binary pkg. Actually, the last occasion I tried installing ede was indeed on 3.2.1 but then I did manage to get it work (together with the author) as I even had to send him a small patch to make it work on minix:) At that point of time he introduced the option to disable dbus in ede, especially due to having problems in installing that on minix. Unfortunately, I don't have time now to tamper with it but if you ask for help in the ede forum, I'm pretty sure someone will help you.

so I was able to download the two source packages,

and following some of the instructions, but I wasn't able to get edelib to compile cleanly...

 (and this even after I compiled fltk from source)

I bet those 4 failed targets are uber-generally-important.

Hi Kristofer,

Same here, even though I tried it on the current version of minix3:( The errors seem to be related to tinyscheme which I happened to find as binary pkg but installing it separately didn't help either. Unfortunately, I don't have time to dig deeper.

Hi Kristofer,

I created a thread for this in the ede forums (https://sourceforge.net/p/ede/discussion/249616/thread/f1b2dd27/). Let's see if someone can help.

Well, I got an unexpected answer today -outside the EDE team- to the question I posted in 2015:D If anyone is interested, check the sourceforge thread link I posted in my previous comment.
