Since I'm asked by my boss to integrate an Openbravo platform and develop several modules on it, I need a reliable development environment, and I'm currently only running Ubuntu 14.04.
Openbravo is available on Launchpad, but is not supported after Precise Pangolin. I still tried to install it from this way, changing the trusty
value from /etc/apt/sources.list.d/openbravo-isv-ppa-trusty.list
to hardy
after apt-get update
yelled at me for a 404.
apt-get update
now works, but apt-get install openbravo-3
still tells me now that the dependencies postgresql-9.1
is not installable, and tomcat6-common
will simply not be installed.
I can still install postgresql-9.1
normally, but tomcat6
looks like it is not supported anymore on trusty
, thus preventing me from installing it normally, even from the tarball. Maybe i am doing something wrong after all.
tl;dr : How can I install Openbravo3 on Ubuntu 14.04 ?
Okay so I tried to install it on a VM in a move of despair.
The problem came from the eclipse
package which requires libtomcat7-java
and pretty much everything related to tomcat7
. By removing libtomcat7-java
, I went able to install tomcat6
, but I had to remove ̀ eclipse`.
As you may have guessed, the same problem can go on any distro, not just Ubuntu Trusty.
I guess I will have to install a previous version of eclipse
to properly work with it, or simply download and install the archive from their site.
