Re: [Tlf-devel] TLF install and newer computer

[Jim Bruce]

Is there a reason for not installing from Github vs the repository. I take it 
that there is a special repo for tlf than what is in Ubuntu (ver 1.1.5)?
What is the repo url or path to put in Ubuntu software sources?

Here is what I have used before and to update tlf which includes some of the 
prerequisites and appears to git from guthub/Tlf.

#!/bin/bash
#If you want a non-root local install you can do the following:


#Create your local programs directory and add it to your path
echo 'export PATH=$HOME/local/bin:$PATH' >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc
mkdir ~/local

#for local hamlib 
#echo 'export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$HOME/local/lib' >> ~/.bashrc
#source ~/.bashrc


#Install tlf

#first install these so tlf will configure without complaining

sudo apt-get install build-essential 
sudo apt-get install autoconf
sudo apt-get install libglib2.0-dev
sudo apt-get install libncurses5-dev

git clone https://github.com/Tlf/tlf.git tlf
pushd tlf
autoreconf --install
./configure --prefix=$HOME/local --enable hamlib
#for hamlib
#PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$HOME/local/lib/pkgconfig/ ./configure --prefix=$HOME/local 
--enable-hamlib
make install
popd 


echo tlf will be in $HOME/local
echo directions are in $HOME/local/share/tlf

No, that is not correct. To install tlf from the repository::

sudo apt-get install tlf

The 1st one installs the basic tools for building from source.

The 2nd one installs only the dependencies that tlf needs.
