Install BigBlueButton on Ubuntu 13.04

[Frank Peng]

Hi,  BBB guru!

I have setup a github account and forked Bigbluebutton to my Ubuntu 13.04. I am trying to make BBB works on 13.04. Everything goes well until I try to ant locales. It won't compile on 13.04.
These are some logs:

If you are interest to make Bigbluebutton work on Ubuntu 13.04, please join the project.

Cheers!

Hi Frank,

We (the core developers) develop, design, test, and package BigBlueButton on Ubuntu 10.04 32-bit and 64-bit.  We haven't tried or tested any other distribution.

Is it an option for you to use Ubuntu 10.04?  If so, you'll find that the compile should work.

Regards,... Fred

As Fred said, we aren't supporting running or developing BigBlueButton
on 13.04 yet, but...

If you had been following our setup instructions at
https://code.google.com/p/bigbluebutton/wiki/081DevelopingBigBlueButton#Setup_a_Development_Environment
you would not see this error. One of the steps includes downloading this
file and putting it into the correct place.

But when I do ant, it failed. These are the log:

Already up-to-date.

Please help out. It is very interesting to work on Ubuntu 13.04. 

[Richard Alam]

Which branch are you in? That file hasn't been changed in master for about a month. Did you make a change in the file and accidentally added "n" somewhere?

I forked the BigBlueButton/BigBlueButton. 

Which one i should fork?

I did not get into the folder and I did not change anything. 

I tried to delete the "n" line, still not working. More errors in the file. Something has to be wrong.

Thank you for your help!

[Pccom Frank]

 I forked a new one. Still not working. I think it is because i did not install the server. What i am trying to do is to make the server to work on Ubuntu 13.04.

[Chad Pilkey]

That's not going to work without an incredible amount of effort.

You have to install bigbluebutton from packages first, which only work with 10.04. Then if you want to do development you can fork the repo and set up a development environment. You can't start with the repository and install bigbluebutton from that as there are many installation steps left out of the repo.

I am trying to make the BigBlueButton server work on Ubuntu 13.04.

I have installed Ruby 2.0.0p0 and gem 2.03.

gem install hello works.

I know it is not easy. Lots of broken packages. But it won't hurt to try and it is worth to try it.

If you could help me that will be great.

Thank you!
