Unsuccessful cmake on master branch about avida HOT 4 CLOSED

The problem is that a git clone of avida doesn't clone the submodules needed by avida to compile. Run:
git submodule init
git submodule update

Then
./build_avida

from avida.

Hi,

I get the following error when running git submodule update

$ git submodule init

Submodule 'documentation' (https://github.com/devosoft/avida.wiki.git) registered for path 'documentation'
Submodule 'libs/apto' (git://programerror.com/apto.git) registered for path 'libs/apto'

$ git submodule update

Cloning into 'documentation'...

programerror.com seems up and running but the git://programerror.com/apto.git seems not to be working. Is there an easy work around via the original GitHub repo?

Cheers,

Greetings-

I just did a fresh clone on my local machine and couldn't repeat the error. There is a version of the apto library (Avida's equivalent of the STL) hosted on github. If the problem persists, you can do the following:

In the avida directory edit the file .gitmodules to change the URL of the apto submodule to https://github.com/devosoft/apto.git (instead of its programerror URL)

Save and close the file. Then run the command "git submodule sync" followed by "git submodule update".

That should change the remote origin of the submodule from programerror to github.

[Make sure you have run "git submodule init" before running "git submodule sync".]

thanks. worked for me.
