  • Pilot -- MIA

    From Rob Pyott@21:1/5 to All on Wed Feb 24 19:20:57 2021
    Hi, I compiled Alpine 2.24 on my Linux machine. Working fine except -- Pilot is not installed apparently. There is no response to the command and Whereis does not return anything.

    Ideas? Thanks -- Rob

    /usr/bin/pilot?

    What Linx distro? It probably already includes the full package in its repository.

    Pico is in /usr/bin, but not Pilot. I also don't see it in the folder where I compiled Alpine.

    Yes I can add it with apt. But I do wonder what went wrong compiling.

    I have no idea what "pilot" is, but I have a lot of them:

    I would guess configuration options, I do suspect if you disable to
    build pico you also disable pilot.

    This configuration did build pilot for me

    LIBS+="-lpam -lkrb5 -lcrypto" ./configure --prefix=/usr \
    --with-passfile=.alpine.passfile --without-tcl \
    --disable-shared \
    --with-system-pinerc=/etc/alpine.d/pine.conf \
    --with-system-fixed-pinerc=/etc/alpine.d/pine.conf.fixed

    pilot is the file manager that the alpine mailer program uses to allow
    you to select files. It is a terminal (not gui) filemanager.

    Pilot is in the pico/ directory of the source code. It is installed by
    default in /usr/local/bin.

    I didn't find it in /usr/bin/local. Very strange. Any way to compile separately? (I certainly didn't disable Pico or Pilot during the Alpine configuration.) Thx, - Rob

    It did not install as a standalone file manager when alpine was
    installed, but I was able to install it with the package manager.

    Oh. I don't remember seeing it "independently". Ah, I see that in
    opensuse it is an independent package.

    I do not know if you have a /usr/bin/local directory, but you will find it
    in /usr/local/bin, and since you compiled it from source code, the binary
    is in the pico/ directory.

    I think I must have not completed something on the compile. Anyway, I switched back to the package installer -- until I'm more knowledgeable about compiling. Thank you --- Rob
