Hello there! I've modified the script a bit to add a simple GUI to it.

Here's the link: http://www.tankmiche.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/update-nexuiz.sh

The default behaviour almost the same, but in the end there is a small report with exit codes of every operation.
With the "-gui" parameter, however, the script calls zenity (a gui tool available on deb distros) to show a fancy progress bar and a list reporting errors whatsoever.

Hope this was helpful! It was funny to code anyway.

Thanks very much tankmiche! I've almost completely rewritten this howto, and included a slightly modified version of your script (it compiles with a custom fteqcc binary, since it's way outdated in the repositories). Since the gui version is really cool, could you write a similar script that defaults to using the gui, and will fall back to text mode if it can't launch/find zenity (or if -text or a similar argument is passed)? That'd be awesome!

Up! After some hard work, here's the 0.5 version of the script:

http://www.tankmiche.com/wp-content/upl ... -nexuiz.sh

(the link is changed)

this one supports skipping tasks (I don't compile nexuiz if it isn't updated!) and auto-updating fteqcc from svn...

If you want to include it in the tutorial, be sure to point out that for the gui you need the "-GUI" parameter (all capital letters) and for the first run you need the "-all" option (no skipping tasks on first run, or nothing will be compiled!)

Well, I'm glad it's finished, I've spent much time on it... enjoy!

MMh, due to some server caching you may have taken the latest buggy script (if downloaded in less than 10 hours from my last post).

If so, please be sure to replace the script with the one from the same url, the last version is ok...

Here's the latest most in depth script. It's more advanced than this one and can cost you some gigabytes but it's totally worth it .

Updated with a recent, (rather?) simple script.

Not working for me for some reason.

rwillmore@rwillmore-desktop:~/Desktop$ svnup-nexuiz.sh -a
bash: svnup-nexuiz.sh: command not found

Any ideas, the file svnup-nexuiz.sh is sitting right here my desktop and my terminal is there as well..

Try with

Code: Select all

./svnup-nexuiz.sh -a

note the ./ prefix

.. or include "." on your $PATH

don't forget to make it an executable with chmod +x svnup-nexuiz-sh

good luck
