在Ubuntu 10.04上安装Mercurial 1.5.4

我已经下载了源代码并尝试通过README说明进行安装：

sudo make install

但出现以下错误：

python setup.py  build
running build
running build_mo
warning: hgbuildmo: could not find msgfmt executable, no translations will be built

请记住，我知道我可以使用以下方法进行安装：

sudo apt-get install mercurial

但这给了我一个旧版本（1.4.3-1）。

发生什么了？

从该行：

mercurial/base85.c:12:20: error: Python.h: No such file or directory

似乎您没有python的开发工具。解决：

sudo apt-get install python-dev

您无需手动构建Mercurial即可在Ubuntu上获得最新版本。在https://launchpad.net/~mercurial-ppa/+archive/releases有一个PPA存储库

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mercurial-ppa/releases
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install mercurial

顺便说说。还有一个用于TortoiseHG的PPA，它在Nautilus中提供了很好的Mercurial功能集成：https : //launchpad.net/~tortoisehg-ppa/+archive/releases

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:tortoisehg-ppa/releases
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install tortoisehg-nautilus

您需要为msgfmt安装gettext：

apt-get install gettext
