installing git package

[Nicola Mondello]

I would like to use git with my Conduit (MTCDTIP-H5-220L-868-OP), but it’s missing in your packages repo, so:

Should I compile it by myself following these instructions: http://www.multitech.net/developer/software/mlinux/mlinux-building-images/building-a-custom-linux-image ?

or can I use another way?

Are you trying to use git to maintain configuration?

Are you familiar with the opkg command on the Conduit?

You need to look for the git*.ipk package.

Start here:

Downloads

Look on the above page for:

Conduit: mLinux model

Other Downloads:

Pre-built Packages

Here is an example from Pre-Built packages:

ok, using opkg command I get:

root@mtcdt:~# opkg update

root@mtcdt:~# opkg install git
Unknown package 'git'.
Collected errors:
* opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package git.

Is it better to update the firmware or can I simply install the package according with my version (3.2):

Sorry, about the opkg error it was an Internet connection issue
