Hi sathya,

I tried to install Homegear on my Banana Pi by following the installation instructions on the web page. However, two dependencies where missed during installation (and I needed two hours to find it out):

  1. The patch tool must be installed:
    apt-get install patch
  2. A rename command is issued during postinst, renaming the modules from lib* to mod_*. This rename tool seems to come with perl that must also be installed:
    apt-get install perl

It would be nice if you could add this information to the web page and to the dependencies of the debian package.

Hey Torsten,

thanks, I will add both to the installation instructions and the dependency list.

Cheers,

Hi sathya,

one remark: rename is only needed if one uses the deb file. The manual installation instructions have the right copy instruction with renaming.
