GPL Versions

[Jimmy Johnson]

What is the latest GPL release and where can I find it?

thanks,

jjj

[Jimmy Johnson]

Bump.

Are we still doing GPL versions?

Maybe the best strategy to force releasing more recent versions is to make pull requests for the old GPL version, so the merger gets the frustration instead 😉

I don't understand.  Where?  How?

What is the latest old version?

Perhaps you're not familiar with Google.

EiffelStudio is the IDE for the Eiffel programming language.
The main public repository for the source code of EiffelStudio is a subversion repository located at:
https://svn.eiffel.com/eiffelstudio-public
In addition, there is a mirror hosted on GitHub that only contains the development branch (i.e. trunk subdirectory of the above subversion repository) at:
https://github.com/EiffelSoftware/EiffelStudio
The source code is licensed under the GPL v2.0 license, see gpl.txt for a copy of the license.

Some one looks for help. Please just help. No sarcasm needed.

You're right, Rosivaldo. I apologize.

Thanks for the link.  So it looks like 20.05 is the newest GPL version?

I was hoping for a package that does not require compile/build.

I have Eiffel_20.05_rev_104521-linux-armv7.tar.bz2, but when attempting to execute "ec" I get:

cannot execute: required file not found.  I don't know which file is missing, but probably missing some libary?

So, do the instructions at "https://www.eiffel.org/doc/eiffelstudio/Linux" apply to 20.05 or just to the newest version, because I try to "sudo apt-get install libgtk-3.0-dev" and get:

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package libgtk-3.0-dev
E: Couldn't find any package by glob 'libgtk-3.0-dev'
E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'libgtk-3.0-dev'

On the RPi-4 I'm using Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm).

BTW, sarcasm is okay.  And, I do appreciate the help.  Thanks.

Jimmy,

For the raspberry pi 4 you need an arm64 built instead of armv7.

Please check the name of the gtk library you are trying to install, it is probably named otherwise in Debian.

Cheers, Werner

On raspberry pi

You can add needed packages

sudo apt install ca-certificates curl bzip2 gcc make dist libxtst-dev libgtk2.0-dev libgtk-3-dev libgdk-pixbuf2.0-dev libssl-dev pax dos2unix subversion

And then download latest EiffelStudio   (not GPL)

if you install the arm64 version of Raspberry pi OS

    https://www.eiffel.com/cdn/EiffelStudio/23.09/107341/Eiffel_23.09_rev_107341-linux-arm64.tar.bz2

or if you install the default (armv7) version of Raspberry pi OS

    https://www.eiffel.com/cdn/EiffelStudio/23.09/107341/Eiffel_23.09_rev_107341-linux-armv7.tar.bz2

I guess you know how to set up your Eiffel environment on unices from the archive file  .tar.bz2 .

From a previous thread, https://groups.google.com/g/eiffel-users/c/MHzJDj8jYu4/m/QULviE9XBAAJ, "Raspberry pi is already supported, see the armv7 platform" followed by a link to ...-armv7.tar.bz2.  I had the Pi running last year, but the OS on the Pi has changed since then.  Now I'm stuck.

 

Please check the name of the gtk library you are trying to install, it is probably named otherwise in Debian.

How do I do that?

thanks,

jjj

[Jimmy Johnson]

Thanks Jocelyn.  The "arm64" version appears to work.  Have not compile anything yet.

Just for kicks I tried the sudo apt-get ... instructions at https://www.eiffel.org/doc/eiffelstudio/Linux but instead of 

sudo apt-get install libgtk-3.0-dev

I used 

sudo apt-get install libgtk-3-dev

droppping the ".0" and that installed.

Maybe that means something to you.

Anyway, thanks again,

jjj
