shot myself in the foot - need help

[Ilan]

I updated to 9.10, erasing NetBeans and QtCreator before doing so.
It nicely updated to the NetBeans I was using, but I had troubles with Rosegarden.
I just deleted the whole thing and did
svn co https://rosegarden.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/rosegarden/trunk/rosegarden

Then I tried sh ./bootstrap.sh and it tells me
`configure.ac' or `configure.in' is required.

This is true - I have neither file. What do I do after I shot myself in the foot?
Thanks for your help,
Ilan

configure.ac is in
http://rosegarden.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/rosegarden/trunk/rosegarden/

Maybe your checkout ended abnormally and you only have to call svn update to
complete your download.

Yves,
Thanks for the suggestion. I tried:

ilan@ilan-laptop:~/rosegarden$ svn update
At revision 11144.

It tells me that I have nothing missing. can you post it manually?
I can't seem to get it.

Make sure you have installed automake and autoconf

Looks strange.

You should get it easily via http at
http://rosegarden.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/rosegarden/trunk/rosegarden/

But if this file is missing I'm afraid some other files may equally be missing.

Yves,
I deleted everything and tried again.
This time it worked.
Now I've just got to get a hold of it via NetBeans.

Ilan

[Ilan]

Thanks guys!
I've now got it under NetBeans and it is doing a clean, build.
Whew! I thought for a while I was out of business.

Now I can start to look at things again.

Wow, a new problem....
With the upgrade to 9.10 I got a newer version of NetBeans.
Now when I run the debugger I get the message:

Gdb version 0 is not supported on this platform, continue at your own risk.

I assume somewhere in the makefile this information is somehow included.
The question is: can we go to a more modern version of gdb, and how?

Ubuntu 9.10 has GDB 7.0, and 9.04 had 6.8, so both of them are considerably
more modern than "version 0" anyway.

That looks like a problem with Netbeans or a problem with Ubuntu's packages.  
In either case, we have absolutely nothing I can find in our build system or
source that would try to specify any particular version of GDB for any reason,
and I don't think this one has anything to do with Rosegarden per se.

Thanks Michael,
I can see the debugger actually works, in spite of the scary message.

It crashed during a commit of the audio file problem.
I rebooted the machine and found that svn seemed to have forgotten my password.
I couldn't exactly remember myself, but I took a shot at what it MIGHT be, and it worked.
So maybe the crash had to do with the debugger or with the commit - password.

In any case, now to seems to have gone through.
I reported a bug to NetBeans. In the bug report I gave them a console output showing I had gdb 7.0.
(Up until then I had no idea what I actually did have.)

It is good of you to untangle the confusion in my mind thinking it was connected to the makefile.

Another problem which I need help.
In doing a commit I used to have a long list of files which I needed to exclude from the commit.
Since then I discovered that I can do a once-only right click and "ignore" files I don't want.
This solved 95% of the problem. Now I'm left with some I'm afraid to ignore
(since I don't want to shoot myself in the foot again).
I'll attach a picture to show the files.

It claims that I have Locally New files DeviceManagerDialogUi.h and RosegardenTransportUi.h.
You can be SURE that I added no such files, so why are they locally new?
There also seem to be 6 directories which are Locally Modified.
The rosegarden directory, being the top directory is the only one which makes any sense.
How did the others become "modified"?
(Remember I just deleted everything and did a fresh download, so this can't be history.)

I can add this files and directories to the ignore list, but I'm a bit afraid to do so without
someone commenting on the idea. For example adding the rosegarden directory might
be equivalent to shooting myself in the foot?

Thanks,
Ilan

I wonder if you could get Netbeans to quit being so brain damaged there.  It
shouldn't even try to commit anything that isn't under version control, and it
shouldn't even try to commit anything that hasn't been changed.  You shouldn't
have to go through that huge list and manually exclude anything.  Either it's
a really stupid design, or you don't understand how to use it properly.

Just saying...

These are generated at compile time and are not human-editable, so they're not
under version control.  Ignore them.

Probably because doing a build generates .moc files for a lot of classes.  
These are in the same category as those *Ui.h files.  Ignore them.
