[AEON] HOW-TO download/install/update/test Aeon from its Git repository - rickatnight11 - 2009-04-29 There have been several reported problems with getting git working, so I decided to write a guide to answer as many questions as possible for both Windows and Linux. Please post feedback below. I am currently working on this guide. Please bear with me! I am creating this guide remotely over LogMeIn, but git is crashing on the machine I am using. I'll have to wait until I get home tonight to finish. 1.1 Installation (Windows) Git is, by nature, a console application created for Unix-based systems. A port has been created, however, call msysgit. Msysgit works via several possible methods, the most commonly used being to run is on an emulated Linux bash prompt. The application has evolved to provide some other useful tools such as a GUI to actually working with the Windows command prompt. I will only be covering the Git Bash and Git GUI methods as these are the methods less likely to screw with your machine.
1.2 Installation (Ubuntu Linux) This installation is certainly easier than the Windows one and should work for any of the support Ubuntu ditributions.
2.1 Using Git (Windows) As I mentioned before, msysgit can be used from a Bash prompt or with the Git GUI application. I will cover both of them enough to get you started. 2.1.1 Git GUI Incomplete!!!
2.1.2 Git Bash
2.1 Using Git (Ubuntu Linux)
3.1 Finishing Up (Fonts) Lastly you will need to download the fonts from the 0.91 release. You can find it here. Pull the fonts folder from the zip file and copy it into any Aeon skin directories you have created previously. You should now be able to select your new skin(s)! - dandirk - 2009-04-29 Good work rickatnight11, Feel free to use my steps for the linux side. I have replicated them a number of times and updated my auriga branch with out issue. Ubuntu 8.10 default install (plus what ever updated it told me to do), only xbmc, nvidia drivers and lirc are installed. I am a linux noob so I didn't do anything fancy. If you need a linux side tester let me know. It may be easier to format in WINDOWS and UBUNTU sections instead of having INSTALL: Windows and Linux, then USE GIT: Windows and Linux. Just my personal preference thats all - GinSoakedBoy - 2009-04-29 Nice guide, clear and concise. I've been wondering, is there a way to get a .bat file to type the code into GitBash? It's a bit of a faff typing that out each time. - rickatnight11 - 2009-04-29 dandirk Wrote:Good work rickatnight11,Thanks for the feedback. That's actually how I'm formatting it right now. I got midway through the Windows guide before running into some issues. I haven't started Linux yet. GinSoakedBoy Wrote:Nice guide, clear and concise. I've been wondering, is there a way to get a .bat file to type the code into GitBash? It's a bit of a faff typing that out each time.You can certainly batch commands from Git Bash, although it's different from windows batch scripting. It should work the same as in any Linux distribution. List a series of commands in a file, chmod the file to be executable, and then run the file. In this case I don't know how helpful it would be (unless you want the actual cd command in there too) since after the initial set, you should just be able to run git pull to update. git for vista 64 bit - edgesitter-xbmc - 2009-04-30 Does anyone have Git working with vista 64 bit, I can't install. thanks, edgesitter - rickatnight11 - 2009-04-30 edgesitter-xbmc Wrote:Does anyone have Git working with vista 64 bit, I can't install.I have it running in Windows 7 64-bit. What install issue are you having? - jtap06 - 2009-04-30 Thanks so much for this tutorial! Helped me get it actually setup rather than just extracting to folder. - rickatnight11 - 2009-04-30 No problem. There's more to come as I work on it and get suggestions. - rickatnight11 - 2009-04-30 The guide is finished for the most part. I'm not sure about the Git GUI part as I have never used it. Hopefully someone else can shed some light on it. I hope this helps. Please post any questions or feedback. - SirBC - 2009-04-30 Good stuff, thanks! - kulprit - 2009-04-30 Ok, so got this all working, but I edit my own files, to say includes the international ratings mod. When i go to pull for an update i get error: Entry '720p/DialogVideoInfo.xml' not uptodate. Cannot Merge. Which setting do I have to change to allow it to merge. Or even so it will overwrite it if there has been a change and I can modify the file again? - djh_ - 2009-04-30 Kudos for this. - FernFerret - 2009-04-30 AWESOME. I've never used anything but SVN and apparently I fail at GIT by myself. I really appreciate this! Quote:The guide is finished for the most part.

Also since although I'm a zsh user, I decided for funsies on windows to use the GUI, your tutorial worked great! --FF - kulprit - 2009-04-30 OK, looking through this, if i do a git checkout -m, then a git pull, would this solve the problem? I did it, it gave a list of the files i had changed, but then there hasn't been an auriga update, so i didn't see it pull any files either. - smcnally75 - 2009-04-30 It's nice to see a guide on the Git GUI version as well. |
