Obtaining the source
« on: August 31, 2011, 04:01:20 pm »
Hi,
I am trying to git the source as desscribed on the appropriate page in the wiki,
but it keeps timing out, with nothing I seem to be able to do.  It seems to pull
back about 1.5 gb from the repo before losing the connection.

I am sorry this is a general question, but is there an option for git to resume
downloading if it is disconnected?

Otherwise, is there a tar.gz source and data bundle I can zip back and unpack
using a script to "gitize" the source?

I am trying to get the 2.4 source onto my PPC mac, so I can try for you guys....

Sadly it isnt possible to resume a git clone afaik. You have to download it in one go.

Hi,
did you try cloning from the github mirror? It's said to allow longer connection times than sourceforge. And no I'm not aware of any tarball of the git repo, sorry.

Hi,
thanks for the info on github.  I overlooked this info before. 
I am trying to git the source again now and will try to do a PPC build.

Is anyone interested in a Solaris 10 (SPARC) build of 2.3.1?
If so, I might try to do a build on my workstation next week....

A 2.4-dev build? Could you then help us with big-endian savegame issue? I would really like to fix for the next release.

Hi,
I am going to attempt a 2.4 build on leopard PPC shortly.
I have to move the code around on too small USB sticks, so it is annoying but I am almost
ready to try.   I will post here with more info when I have something to show...

Meanwhile, a Solaris 10 2.3.1 build for SPARC  is on the way!  I have nearly finished compiling
all the dependencies, so it is packaged to run cleanly.   I do not know who will want this,
but it is extreme nerdniness and someone will thank me later...
