git on the road to merb

bryan / 29.Feb.2008

I decided to upgrade my installation of merb from the older merb-0.5.x to the new "merb-next" which is re-numbered 0.9.x and available on github.

I knew something was going to finally push me to getting and learning git; so there it is. First thing is to dl and compile of course.
As I found out after a halt in the compile, Leopard needs a SYS V type utility called msgfmt. After a lot of googling and messing around, I found this article by Sean Santry which I found to be most helpful.

I truly was going to install the GNU gettext utilities as well, but I was unable to compile them easily as well. Since I was already 3 or 4 tangents removed from upgrading merb, I decided to use Sean's workaround.
NO_MSGFMT=yes make prefix=/usr/local all

add to del.icio.us, digg it
