Howto: Install Giver (File share on Linux)

I would like to thank Puller for the information on how to install Giver. Here is a cool video on how the program works: Giver Video


Install needed packages:

Code:

---

$ sudo apt-get install build-essential mercurial libmono-cairo2.0-cil mono mono-devel libmono-dev mono-gmcs monodoc

---

I don't have fiesty-backports turned on so I manually downloaded avahi-sharp

Package site: http://packages.ubuntu.com/cgi-bin/s...ds=avahi-sharp
Download package here: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/poo...a/avahi-sharp/

Code:

---

$ wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/poo...6.11-1_all.deb

---

Code:

---

$ dpkg -i libavahi1.0-cil_0.6.11-1_all.deb

---

more software needed:

Code:

---

$ hg clone http://hg.circular-chaos.org/notify-sharp

---

Code:

---

$ cd notify-sharp/

---

Code:

---

$ autoscan

---

Code:

---

$ automake --add-missing

---

Code:

---

$ autoreconf

---

Code:

---

$ ./configure

---

Code:

---

$ make

---

Code:

---

$ sudo make install

---

Code:

---

$ cd ..

---

Now lets install Giver:

Download Giver here: http://code.google.com/p/giver/downloads/list

Code:

---

$ wget http://giver.googlecode.com/files/giver-0.1.4.tar.gz

---

Code:

---

$ tar -zxvf giver-0.1.4.tar.gz

---

Code:

---

$ cd giver-0.1.4/

---

Code:

---

$ ./configure

---

Code:

---

$ make

---

Code:

---

$ sudo make install

---

Some might have problems launching the program. Running this command will help fix some of the problems:

Code:

---

$ export MONO_PATH=/usr/local/lib/mono/notify-sharp

---

Now launch the program:

Alt + F2
Type: giver

hum, is that really easier that NFS which is in the repo and has tools for it available ?

NFS is still easier but I think myself (and others) would like to check out other projects which are being developed.

i am trying to install on hardy

i get this error..

Code:

also another question.
can you answer your own questino please?
could you demonstrate how nfs and the nfs tools maybe simpler then giver? i'd very much like to use the simplest tool.

Had the same problem. Solved it installing libgtk2.0-dev in Synaptic (couple of deps though).

Sorry to bring up the olds , but i wasn't able to install giver , although its really interesting me... , after following everything you've said , when i try to install notify-sharp i just end up with this :

Code:

---

---

i tried doing a "apt-get build-dep notify-sharp" but it ends up telling me ;

Code:

---

E: Impossible de trouver une source de paquet pour notify-sharp

---

wich means in english : Unable to find a source package for notify-sharp.

darn i'm lost , could really use some help from you guys, ps: using a fresh install of Linux Mint Elyssa, wich stays alot similar from ubuntu , this cannot be the problem as i tried this on ubuntu and got the same error at the end...

Cheers.

i cannot get this to run when i run giver i get

Code:

---

cameron@ubuntu:~$ giver
exec: 9: -a: not found
cameron@ubuntu:~$

---

i get the same error as Cameron.

Apparently, however, Giver seems to come pre-installed with the next release of Linux Mint (Felicia). So maybe there's a chance to actually use the app - it also makes a lot more sense: If several people use Mint (which is based on Ubuntu, btw), you can share all kinds of data without any hassle.

Until then, I'd like to get an solution to the problem:

Code:

---

exec: 9: -a: not found

---

EDIT:
I just found a solution:
http://code.google.com/p/giver/issues/detail?id=3

i had the same problem, with "exec: 9: -a: not found". i edited the file "/usr/local/bin/giver" and changed line 9 from

Code:

---

exec -a "Giver" mono "Giver.exe" "@$"

---

to

Code:

---

exec mono "Giver.exe" "@$"

---

now giver works fine.

I am having trouble compiling giver v0.1.8. Configure finishes ok but this is the output from the end of make:

Code:

---

Perhaps it needs patching or something then.

Why not just upgrade to Intrepid & install the giver package

Because Intrepid still will not connect to my college's wireless network which uses wpa2 enterprise. Doesn't work with network manager or wicd

Is there an ubuntu package to install Giver for 8.04 or do we have to do a cli install?

Giver was only packaged in 8.10

I tried installing giver on 8.04.3 but i got this following error when running ./configure

Can someone please give us the steps to check first if all the dependencies are correctly installed? This is turning out to be a very complicated install for a small app.

build-essential package

Hi directhex,

Can you please elaborate.
