Install and configure tortoisehg and kdiff3 on Redhat/centos

I. Preface
This article was originally part of the 3rd development toolbox system, but some of our colleagues encountered a lot of software version and dependency problems when installing tortoisehg and kdiff3, resulting in a failure to install them smoothly. Therefore, I would like to share in advance the complete process of installing these software and hope to help other students.

II. Environment and preparation
1. Operating System: redhat5/centos5
2. The software to be prepared and its version (both are installed through source code compilation ):

• Python2.7 (Python 2.4 is installed by default on redhat5 and centos5. Please upgrade to 2.7. After upgrading python, recompile and install mercurial-1.9)
• Qt-4.7.3
• Kdiff3-0.9.95
• QScintilla-gpl-2.5.1
• Iniparse-0.4
• Sip-4.12.4
• PyQt-x11-gpl-4.8.5
• Tortoisehg-2.1

Shows their dependencies:

3. Install qt4
1. Download the source code:
Wget
Http://get.qt.nokia.com/qt/source/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.7.3.tar.gz

2. decompress the source code package:
Tar-zxvf qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.7.3.tar.gz

3. Three Steps for compilation and installation:
Go to the decompressed directory and execute the following commands in order:
1 ). /configure-Prefix/home/nieyong/local/qt-4.7.3, this step takes a long time and is executed on my machine for about 2.5 hours)
2) gmake
3) gmake install

 

4. Install kdiff3
1. Download the source code
Wget
Http://nchc.dl.sourceforge.net/project/kdiff3/kdiff3/0.9.95/kdiff3-0.9.95.tar.gzgmake

2. Extract the source code
Tar-zxvf kdiff3-0.9.95.tar.gz

3. Configure Environment Variables
1) edit the. bash_profile file in the current user directory
VI ~ /. Bash_profile
Add the following Configuration:
Qtdir = $ home/local/qt-4.7.3 (subject to local environment changes)
Export qtdir

Path = $ qtdir/bin: $ path
Export path

LD_LIBRARY_PATH = $ home/local/qt-4.7.3/lib: $ LD_LIBRARY_PATH (depending on the local environment)
Export LD_LIBRARY_PATH

2) make the environment variable configuration take effect
Source ~ /. Bash_profile

4. Install kdiff3
Run the following command to install the directory after kdiff3-0.9.95.tar.gz is decompressed:
./Configure qt4

5. Configure kdiff3
1. Edit the. hgrc file in the current user directory and execute the following command:
VI ~ /. Hgrc

Add the following Configuration:
[Extensions]
Hgext. extdiff =

[Extdiff]
Cmd. kdiff3 =

[Merge-tools]
Kdiff3.args = $ base $ local $ other-o $ output

6. Install iniparse
1. Download the source code
Wget
Http://iniparse.googlecode.com/files/iniparse-0.4.tar.gz

2. decompress the source code package
Tar-zxvf iniparse-0.4.tar.gz

3. Installation
Go to the iniparse-0.4 decompressed directory and execute the following command to install:
Python setup. py build
Python setup. py install (run as root)

7. Install qscintilla
1. Download the source code
Wget
Http://www.riverbankcomputing.co.uk/static/Downloads/QScintilla2/QScintilla-gpl-2.5.1.tar.gz

2. decompress the source code package
Tar-zxvf QScintilla-gpl-2.5.1.tar.gz

3. Compile and install qscintilla
1) Go To The qt4 directory under the decompressed qscintilla directory and execute the following three commands in sequence:
Qmake qscintilla. Pro
Make
Make install

2) Go to the python directory in the directory after extracting qscintilla and execute the following commands in sequence:
Python./configure. py
Make
Make install (run as root)

8. Install sip

Http://www.riverbankcomputing.co.uk/static/Downloads/sip4/sip-4.12.4.tar.gz

2. decompress the source code package
Tar-zxvf sip-4.12.4.tar.gz

3. Compile and install the SIP
Go to the extract directory of SIP-4.12.4 and execute the following three commands:
Python./configure. py
Make
Make install (run as root)

9. Install pyqt4
1. Download the source code
Wget
Http://www.riverbankcomputing.co.uk/static/Downloads/PyQt4/PyQt-x11-gpl-4.8.5.tar.gz

2. decompress the source code package
Tar-zxvf PyQt-x11-gpl-4.8.5.tar.gz

3. Install pyqt4
Go to the directory after pyqt decompression, and execute the following three commands in order to install:
Python Configure. py

The following protocol information is displayed:
