Install typo on windows / ckeditor & symlinks

Ruby Apps Typo
1

Hi all,

my development machine is running under winXP. While trying to install
typo I get an error, saying that the symlink function is not available
on my machine, which is in fact correct. :wink:

Did anyone succeed in installing typo either without ckeditor or with a
patched ckeditor, which doesn’t need symlinks? Any advice would be
appreciated!

Best regards

Horst

There are already a bug report about this issue (

)

You can comment line where there are symlink and made a copy.

For a more comprehensive solution I suggest to change the above named
file to use the junction tool on windows machines.

What is the junction tool? Would you be able to create a patch for this?

Hi Matjis,

Junction is very much similar to symlinks on unix systems.

Sorry, but I’m not able to deliver a patch at the moment. Still trying
to get my first typo install running on windows. More and more, that
seems to be pain in the ass


Actually, I can’t get bluecloth installed. But that’s off topic to this
thread


Best Regards

Hello,

When we were using FCKEditor on Typo, the editor used to copy the
config file if it didn’t exist. I don’t see why we should change that.

So I’m going to patch CKEditor plugin to have the same behavior.

Cheers,
Frédéric
