Custom merge tool not working

[FredM]

Hi,

 

Using GTK client 5.4.16.688 (linux) I see that kdiff3 works for merge operations. However when setting P4Merge as a custom tool the latter doesn't get displayed. I only get a list of files that can be modified manually using diff/merge rules listed in the context menu.

 

I have validated that this command line works with test files :

 

/opt/p4merge/bin/p4merge -nl "@sourcefile" -nb "@basesymbolic" -nr "@destinationfile" "@sourcefile" "@basefile" "@destinationfile" "@output"

 

Would someone have an explanation ?

 

P4Merge can be downloaded for free from : http://www.perforce.com/downloads/helix#product-10

 

Thanks

 

Fred
