…nearly there...
[Downloading and Installing the Developers ISO went fine. I'd no idea that, on initial boots, downloading all the Source, etc, takes very many hours, and MAKE INDEX takes an hour or 2 also!! I made one possibly nasty error with GREP, as noted in another thread]
Anyway, on the MAKE INSTALL, it downloads the sources, and compiles, and flashes up a massive amount of progress messages, but ends with: "Error Code 1". Whatever that means… Dang. The associated messages suggest running
- make deinstall && make reinstall, or
- setting FORCE_PKG_REGISTER in the Env, or
- setting this in the make install command-line.
Any advice welcome. Perhaps just "make install FORCE_PKG_REGISTER", but I don't want to make things worse!
Separate interesting point:
- BandWidthD DID create the INDEX files when I ran it for the first time. Looked only beautiful!
- BUT... next time around, which was only a few minutes later (default config parms, generally), the INDEX.HTML was set to a size of 0, and the other 3 INDEX files were still OK (not refreshed yet).
- Then, 1 hour later, the INDEX2.HTML file was set to 0. The other 2 were still OK.
- presumably, when its time to refresh the others, they'll be duly clobbered.
- I believe I did not do anything very major with the entire system, apart from installing Midnight-Commander.
I dearly hope this info rings a bell with someone... I doubt if tweaking the code will readily identify why the code sometimes creates the files, and sometimes does not...
I could try removing BandWidthD, clearing out the files, and re-installing, etc...
Thanks again...
