Attention: The following is a work in progress.

The following is EXPERIMENTAL and should be used by experienced user only.

Installing Simias

Add repository to install cli-common-dev 0.7.1 plus the GPG key.

sudo bash -c "echo '# Repository for cli-common-dev' >> /etc/apt/sources.list"
sudo bash -c "echo 'deb http://badgerports.org/  lucid main' >> /etc/apt/sources.list"
wget http://badgerports.org/directhex.ppa.asc -O - | sudo apt-key add -
sudo apt-get update

Install required packages.

sudo apt-get install bzr bzr-builddep equivs

Get source and install build dependencies.

cd /tmp
bzr branch http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~csights/+junk/simias/
cd simias
mk-build-deps
sudo dpkg -i simias-build-deps_1.0_all.deb

You will (probably) see errors! They indicate that dpkg doesn't install dependencies automatically. Use aptitude or your favorite package manager to install any broken build-dependencies.

Compile.

bzr-buildpackage

During execution of bzr-buildpackage you need to Ignore the following error message. It's related to signing the package which can only be done by the maintainer.

running debsign failed bzr: ERROR: The build failed.

Last step is to install the generated packages.

cd ../build-area
sudo dpkg -i libsimias*deb simias-client*deb simias-common*deb

Again make sure there are no broken dependencies using aptitude or your favorite package manager.

Installing iFolder Client

Get source and install build dependencies.

cd /tmp
bzr branch http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~csights/+junk/ifolder-client/
cd simias
mk-build-deps
sudo dpkg -i ifolder3-build-deps_1.0_all.deb

Use aptitude or your favorite package manager to install any broken build-dependencies.

Compile.

bzr-buildpackage

Last step is to install the generated packages.

cd ../build-area
sudo dpkg -i ifolder*deb

Start the program.

(Should also be in menus.)
