Re: [MiNT] Tar problems



Hello,

What version of tar are you using?

Maybe you need to do

tar xvf 20100525-Helmut.tar

x - extract
v - verbose
f - file

or even better, for the lazy programmer:

tar xjvf 20100525-Helmut.tar.bz2

j - run thru bzip

Hello all,

Yesterday, I downloaded Helmut's package for testing.
I successfully could unbzip it, but then, when trying to untar
it, nothing happened.
I tried with another tar archive, which couldn't be untared as well.
The command from the shell is the one I used the previous time I
installed a package :
tar -x20100525-Helmut.tar
I tried with gnutar, from the desktop, with no ssuccess either.
Am I going mad ? Did I miss something ?

Regards,
