Hello all,<br>
<br>
I've grown enough as an Erlang developer that having proper release<br>
handling is now appealing to me. For this I need a properly installed<br>
target system, which I gave up on previously out of frustration.<br>
Starting with the OTP Design Principles I am able to get all the way<br>
through section 10.4, up until the point where the documentation<br>
states "Refer to System Principles for how to install the first target<br>
system..."<br>
<br>
After heading on over to the System Principles I was quite perturbed<br>
to see that it's using a custom script to handle installation. I<br>
dutifully started over from the top of the System Principles document,<br>
getting to section 3.3 before being greeted with this:<br>
<br>
3> target_system:install("aule", "/usr/local/erl-target").<br>
Extracting aule.tar.gz ...<br>
Substituting in erl.src, start.src and start_erl.src to<br>
form erl, start and start_erl ...<br>
** exception error: no match of right hand side value {error,enoent}<br>
in function target_system:read_txt_file/1<br>
in call from target_system:subst_file/4<br>
in call from lists:foreach/2<br>
in call from target_system:install/2<br>
<br>
The file it's choking on is<br>
/usr/local/erl-target/erts-5.6.3/bin/erl.src, which does not exist.<br>
<br>
Yikes. Have I done something wrong? Can someone explain, in a manner<br>
more clear than the documentation provided, how to complete my task?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Brian<br>
