Misc notes on littler

  • INSTALL page is outdated. Instead, do:

apt-get update \
&&  apt-get build-dep -y littler \
&&  apt-get install autoconf git \
&&  git clone https://github.com/eddelbuettel/littler.git \
&&  /littler/./bootstrap

May want to symlink too:

ln -s /littler/examples/install.r /usr/local/bin/install.r \
&&  ln -s /littler/examples/install2.r /usr/local/bin/install2.r \
&&  ln -s /littler/examples/installGithub.r /usr/local/bin/installGithub.r \
&&  ln -s /littler/examples/testInstalled.r /usr/local/bin/testInstalled.r \
&& make clean

but if linking is all we need, probably better to just pull those new scripts. This installs a lot of additional things we don’t need (build-deps, git history of littler, etc).

  • Note proper use of autoconf to generate the configure script from configure.ac.
