Thanks for looking into this.
Attached is the output.txt

theide never started and no setup box.

Hi nlneilson,

I checked the output and I think I'm finally getting the idea... I suspect the problem is with checking the signature. The strange think is that it worked for me. Anyway, I changed the script a bit, could you run it the same way as before please?

Quote:

With Eclipse for java a download can be placed anywhere, everything is in one directory, and a link to the executable is all that is required.

With Upp for Win it is the same, everything is in the upp directory except MyApps as a "workspace" Updating, AFAIK, is just replacing the upp directory with the new one.

Why can't this be done for upp in Ubuntu?

Technically it can be done. Practically, it is almost impossible. The problem is, that various versions of ubuntu and even same version on different systems might have different libraries installed. The packaging software is one of few sane ways how to ensure that there will be installed everything that is needed for theide to run. We could make theide in single directory, place it /opt but then we would have to distribute also all the shared libs, to make sure it works properly, not even to mention that it would be necessary to set up PATH in such ways that the program find the libs and the user finds the program.

Quote:

Just as an option for those that have problems with or would rather not use PPA.

The only other viable option is to download upp-src-x11-NNNN.tar.gz and compile it. Releasing compiled software for Linux is generally quite complex task - you have to compile for various architectures, make sure the libs are available as described above, etc. I have never seen opensource project that would go this way, only closed source application are distributed like this, for obvious reasons...

That worked, THANKS!!

Can this script be used to update rather than use the PPA?

Or will something be changed where the PPA will work with the setup/problem I was having?

Thanks for explaining the problems involved doing it another way.

edit: I see that upp has been added to Synaptic so it will probably work OK from there, is that correct?

Hi Neil,

The script actually just follows the steps listed on the launchpad web to add the repository to your system, it just removes the U++ first (+ the diagnostics). From now on theide will be updated regularly the same way as all other software you have installed.

I know that the instructions on launchpad are not exactly the best ones. I could actually write a script that would add the repository and install upp. Showing user one simple command will be much easier then linking that unclear guide. Your case was a good inspiration, thanks Wink

Wink

Anyway, to sum it up, here is my version what was wrong with your installation attempts: I think you mixed the two guides for different versions of ubuntu:

In 9.10 and newer, you just run

add-apt-repository ppa:dolik-rce/upp-nightly

and then install upp from Synaptic. This command takes care about everything - adds the address to source.list and downloads the signing public keys.

In 9.4 and earlier (actually it should work in any version...) you have to add the line to sources.list manually, and then fetch the key with command

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 643469F3

Since you didn't get the key, it probably failed to download some of the packages. However, I'm not even sure how you got a running theide this way - it must have been from your attempts using make...

Best regards and enjoy your new linux theide Wink

"one simple command" Great idea.

Yes, the only way I was able to run theide on Linux was using make.

Hello!
I have a problem with installation from PPA on "clean" computer.

theide and upp installed, but configuration files did not appear after installation or first start.
No templates, no MyApps/...

If old version installed by "make install", all ok.

If i had no upp/theide earlier, i need run

mkdir ~/upp.out
mkdir ~/MyApps

mkdir ~/.upp
mkdir ~/.upp/theide

cp GCC.bm ~/.upp/theide

echo UPP = \"/usr/share/upp/uppsrc\"\;OUTPUT = \"$HOME/upp.out\"\; > ~/.upp/theide/uppsrc.var
echo UPP = \"/usr/share/upp/examples\;/usr/share/upp/uppsrc\"\;OUTPUT = \"$HOME/upp.out\"\; > ~/.upp/theide/examples.var
echo UPP = \"/usr/share/upp/reference\;/usr/share/upp/uppsrc\"\;OUTPUT = \"$HOME/upp.out\"\; > ~/.upp/theide/reference.var
echo UPP = \"/usr/share/upp/tutorial\;/usr/share/upp/uppsrc\"\;OUTPUT = \"$HOME/upp.out\"\; > ~/.upp/theide/tutorial.var
echo UPP = \"/usr/share/upp/bazaar\;/usr/share/upp/uppsrc\"\;OUTPUT = \"$HOME/upp.out\"\; > ~/.upp/theide/bazaar.var
echo UPP = \"$HOME/MyApps\;/usr/share/upp/uppsrc\"\;OUTPUT = \"$HOME/upp.out\"\; > ~/.upp/theide/MyApps.var

manually for each user...

Can APT create config files automatically,
or can you include necessary steps in manual?

OS: Ubuntu 8.04

Hi camphene,

The ppa installation still has some rough edges, as you noticed. I am currently working on smoothing the process and filling in gaps like this.

You already found the solution, but just for completeness: you can create the repositories also when starting the ide. Right clicking on the left pane of the "Select main package" dialog let's you create the repository, just fill in the paths and you are ready to go.

Thank you for for using the PPA Wink

That is strange. The templates are present in the deb, e.g. /usr/share/upp/uppsrc/Core/core.upt. Theide should find them and offer in the new package dialog automatically.

I will try to reproduce your steps on fresh virtual machine and let you know what found.

As for your question about templates: Yes, you can of course create your own .upt files. The syntax is not documented anywhere, but you can get the idea by reading those included, or the couple of user created templates that were uploaded on the forum in the past.

Oh, sorry. I had an error in assembly properties.

Correctly have been
Package nests: /home/user/MyApps2;/usr/share/upp/uppsrc

Only GCC.bm should be copied from tar.gz.
All work fine.

Many thanks!!!

Glad to hear everything is ok now.

I am pretty sure you are aware of this, but for completeness: Using /usr/share/upp provides you with read-only sources. So if you decide to hack on the U++ itself, you will have to move them somewhere where you have a write access as a regular user. The recomended way (not only for this reason) is having a copy of the sources in your home directory.

That said, having a read only nests in /usr/share/ is one of the options planned for the future. So if you encounter some trouble with this setup, I would be glad to hear your experiences with it Wink

I installed Ubuntu 12.04
Tried the PPA
If upp has been installed where is it?
12.04 does not have Synaptic at least by that name.
It does have "Ubuntu Software Center" but searching for "upp" it was not found.

Hi Niel,

Judging by the output you posted you just successfully added the PPA to your sources and ran apt-get update. The last step is to run

sudo apt-get install upp

That will install U++ and TheIDE. To verify this, you can check if the U++ sources appeared in /usr/share/upp and theide binary should be present in /usr/bin. Also, TheIDE icon should appear in your desktop environment menu/application launcher.

I am not very familiar with Ubuntu software center, so I can't really tell why it didn't found upp package. I think it should be there as soon as you update package list.

Best regards,
Honza

sudo apt-get install upp

I did not notice that in the instructions.

I used your .sh file later, saved and renamed to upp-install.bash and added one line at the end:
read -p "end"

I got a bunch of these errors:
** (theide:8732): CRITICAL **: os_bar_hide: assertion `OS_IS_BAR (bar)' failed

(theide:8732): Gtk-CRITICAL **: IA__gtk_widget_hide: assertion `GTK_IS_WIDGET (widget)' failed

(theide:8732): Gtk-CRITICAL **: IA__gtk_widget_hide: assertion `GTK_IS_WIDGET (widget)' failed

I can run TheIDE.

How do I update the latest build? There was an option in the setup about it checks each time TheIDE is run, I just used the defaults.

Thanks Honza

Everytime you update your system (e.g. with sudo apt-get upgrade), new version of U++ sources will be put in /usr/share/upp. TheIDE will notify you about this by shoving an icon with little red exclamation mark on the menu bar (you can also check manually in Setup > Check for updates ...), and if you click on it, you can sync the sources to the local copy in your home directory.

Thanks for the help.

Updating seems to be straight forward.

I have other computers I will be installing Ubuntu 12.04 on.
I will try the PPA and:
sudo apt-get install upp

Hi Neil,

This time you forgot to do sudo apt-get update before trying to install Wink

Wink

add-apt-repository only adds it to sources list, then the package lists must updated and only after that your apt-get will know what packages are in the PPA. It works pretty much the same as with any other repository.

I rebooted the computer otherwise sudo apt-get update just showed a few lines. After reboot then there were a lot of lines apparently checking and updating ubuntu. Then sudo apt-get install upp apparently installed and ended with something like configuration on hold.
No config box was opened.

Tried the update and install again

neil@ubuntu:~$ sudo apt-get install upp

upp is already the newest version.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

On the other computer there is a upp directory under home.
This computer does not have that.
This computer was much harder to install ubuntu on. Doing a search for "upp" could not find where it was installed.

Under software it shows upp 5082 is installed but I don't know if it installed correctly or where it is at.

"... I don't know if it installed correctly or where it is at.

Finally got it after several tries. I even removed 12.04 and re installed twice.

/usr/share/upp/uppsrc/ide/TheIDE
This is where it is installed and TheIDE has to be clicked from there to to bring up the config to do the rest of the setup.

Most of my time is on Windows and there are probably many others also. I asked where it was installed but did not get an answer on that. Looking at the .sh file there is "/usr/share/upp" so found it that way. Maybe /usr/share/ is where stuff is installed much like on Win it is under "Program Files".

I even tried the .sh (.bash) file but it just kicked out, probable at # exit on error
set -e
or wherever.
I did put read -p "end" at the end of the .bash file to see where a problem was but it closed the terminal before it got to the end.

Better instruction to install upp would be a big help.
or
WARNING: Unless you are proficient with the Linux OS you will probably have problems installing upp.
Excuse the rant but I have more than 6 hours on installing upp this time.

A very good job was done with the ppa setup to update to the latest upp build.

Hi Neil,

I understand that it might be a little confusing for anyone who is not familiar with the ubuntu package management. I believed that the link provided on Download page pointing to official launchpad step-by-step guide should be enough of documentation... Well, just now I found the address is no longer valid Sad

Sad

I will definitely fix that and replace it with hopefully better guide directly on U++ site. I am sorry for the inconvenience the missing documentation might have caused.

However, I don't think your rant is fair. The six hours you spend was completely unnecessary, the whole installation takes few minutes. I spend hundreds of hours of my free time working on the packaging and automatic builds in PPA and I believe it is now as simple as it can be. If you were just a little more patient (complaining about no answer to a question mere 10 hours after posting it on the forum is definitely not a sign of patience) and waited for an answer instead of hastily reinstalling entire OS, or if you clearly stated that you're still a novice to Ubuntu package management, then your problem could be solved without you getting frustrated and scaring other users from even trying by that "warning".

Just for a future reference, until there is a better guide: You only need three commands to install U++:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:dolik-rce/upp-nightly
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install upp

After that you can run TheIDE from application menu or from terminal typing just "theide". It is not that hard... I bet a few minutes of google search would give you enough hints to figure it out.

Concerning the location of the files when installed, I already told you before: /usr/share/upp is the directory with sources and theide executable can be found in /usr/bin directory.
