Programming :: Compile And Install From A Tarball?
May 2, 2011I recently downloaded a tarball which contains a .src file for a program to convert .ttf fonts to .cxf fonts for use in Qcad drawings. how to compile and install this program in linuxmint 9 or ubuntu lucid. What I downloaded from the ribbonsoft.com website is a tarball called ttf2cxf-0.0.0.1-src.tar.gz. It contains a directory /ttf2cxf-0.0.0.1-src, which contains three files: main.cpp, Makefile, and ttf2cxf. I can post the contents of these files. This is not a high priority problem but i have been messing around with this for a while and have made no progress.

Apr 1, 2011Is there an "easy" explanation somewhere in the forum about how to install programs which are in tarball form? I am relearning much of openSUSE and unsure of the compiling commands, which one(s) should be ran as a user, which commands should be ran as root... I've done a search on this topic and it seems there is a difference in login between make, make install, checkinstall etc.
I understand I'll also need some developer packages to compile tarballs however I don't know which ones. The last time I unsuccessfully tried to work with tarballs was when openSUSE 9.x was current. It's been that long. There is a program I absolutely need, it's SecondLife which I haven't found in any RPM repositories. I've downloaded the "linux" version from their website. The file name is: SecondLife-i686-2.5.2.223426.tar.bz2 I have a 64bit Toshiba notebook running 11.4
Ubuntu Installation :: No ./configure Command When Trying To Install Tarball?
Apr 26, 2010I've read a few other threads about installing tarballs and just about all of them mention running the ./configure script. BTW, I'm working on a machine without internet connection and I'm using karmic. I successfully extracted the contents of the tarball and a directory of those contents was created. I navigated into that directory and tried "sudo ./configure" as per some instructions I found on the net, but the result was "bash:./configure: no such file or directory".
I get this same error message when I try "./configure --help | less" Is "./configure" something that is meant to come as part of the OS or do I need to install that separately too!?! when I try to create a keyboard short cut for opening a terminal by using the "keyboard shortcuts" option in system > preferences the setting lists it as "disabled". Is there some way for enabling? I know how to get to a complete screen terminal by using ctrl+alt+f2 but I also want a shortcut for other terminal box which is accessible via the applications area.

General :: When Extract The Tarball - Forgot The '-C' Option Of The Command 'tar'
Apr 23, 2010I tried to install gfortran on my computer. When I extract the tarball, I forgot the '-C' option of the command 'tar', which should be added, according to the instruction of installation.
That is to say, I wrote in the mp directory:
Then, the tarball creates a '/usr' directory under '/tmp' directory, and it contains only a /local directory, which contains only a /gfortran directory.
The thing is, when I modify the name of this directory, for example, from /usr to /usr-modi, I found that the name of the directory /usr under the root directory is also changed from /usr to /usr-modi.
How can I delete this annoying /usr directory under /tmp, without tragically affect /usr under the root directory?
General :: Code Tarball Build Failing In Gnaupps (coreutils, Grep) On A FC7?
Mar 17, 2010I am not sure which thread this fits in, I am facing a strange problem. There is a code tarball that I cross-compile on a Fedora Core 9 machine and it builds fine. But when I do the same thing on a (heavily used) Fedora Core 7 machine, the build keeps failing in the gnuapp folders grep, coreutils etc. I have tried 'make distclean', and clearing the config.cache but no impact.
Note: I export the PATH variable (to the local cross-compiler) before starting the build. The cross compilation is for the MIPS processor and GNU makefiles are used.

View 1 Replies View RelatedDebian :: Packaging Tarball Which Already Has A Directory?
Apr 4, 2011I have an upstream source tarball which, by coincidence, already contains a directory named "debian", but which has nothing to do with the "debian" directory for packaging. Assume also that renaming this directory would be difficult, for example because many other parts of the code would need to be modified. On an rpm based system, this poses no problem to the packager, since the rpm build process is driven by an external spec file and never has to modify the original source. What would be the best way to package this on a debian system? Is it absolutely necessary to rename the original "debian" directory? Or can I make the dpkg build tools operate out of a different directory?

Ubuntu :: MD5 Checksum Tarball Contents?

Software :: RPM - How To Package Binary Tarball
Nov 22, 2010I'm trying to package Apache Tomcat binary tarball into a RPM package on CentOS 5.5. The idea is to package the tarball, extract it into /usr/local/, create a tomcat user, change permission on the /usr/local/tomcat install dir, copy the init startup script to /etc/init.d/
Since it's a binary/pre-compiled package, I don't need to compile the source codes.

Aug 28, 2010I've been trying to back up my system to a tarball for quite a while now. I recently bought a tape drive, and it works. But I'm having a little bit of trouble getting tar to work--whenever I try to copy the files (either directly to the drive at /dev/st0 or to a tarball), I end up with a "file changed as we read it" error, and tar quits before the archive is done. Is there some way I can either prevent this from happening and/or tell tar to just skip that file and keep the job going?
Code:
$ cd /home
$ sudo tar -czf /dev/st0 soren {soren being my home directory, /dev/st0 the tape drive}

Fedora :: Corrupted Tarball Of Enormous Size: Can It Be Salvaged
Jul 30, 2009Prior to installing F11, I used fwbackups to archive some data to a bzip2 tarball. The archiving and compression went just fine. When I attempt to decompress the archive bunzip2 chokes with the following error:
Code:
bunzip2: Compressed file ends unexpectedly;
perhaps it is corrupted? *Possible* reason follows.
bunzip2: No such file or directory
Input file = Backup-stuff-archive-2009-06-14_01-00.tar.bz2, output file = Backup-stuff-archive-2009-06-14_01-00.tar
It is possible that the compressed file(s) have become corrupted. You can use the -tvv option to test integrity of such files. You can use the `bzip2recover' program to attempt to recover data from undamaged sections of corrupted files. bunzip2: Deleting output file Backup-stuff-archive-2009-06-14_01-00.tar, if it exists. Now I'm fairly sure that the problem is a couple of zero length files (dead pipes or the like) have been included in the tarball and it seems that GNU tar and allied tools are braindamaged when it comes to zero length files in an archive, treating them as end of file markers. I've had this issue with a gzipped tarball. Alas bzip2recover is not an option as the archive is 106.1 gigabytes in size (I know, I know) and to handle a file of this size it requires recompiling.
Googling for an answer returns grim news. It seems that tarballs like this are forever borked. I was wondering if any of the gurus here can offer some advice. Can my poor Shrek of a tarball be salvaged or is he a hopeless case? The lesson I have learned is not to create HUGE archives. Also using tools like tar and bzip (or even gzip) may not the best idea when archiving/backing up.
Ubuntu :: Called 'backit' - To Back Up Files To A Tarball?
Jul 23, 2010I have a script - called 'backit' - to back up files to a tarball - listed below (<backup.lst> contains files I want backed up)
#!/bin/bash
# 22/7/2010
# Backup important files
cd ~
tar cvfz .backup/backup.tar.gz -T .backup/backup.lst
cp .backup/backup.tar.gz /media/Archive/.backup
Typing 'Backit' in the shell works very well producing a backup file, <backup.tar.gz>, of 2 298 953 bytes and contains all the correct files. So far, so good! I put a line in crontab - /home/alan/bin/backit
The program runs every hour on the hour and produces the <backup.tar.gz> file. However, this file contains only some of the files and has a size of 76 762 bytes. Using "tar tvf backup.tar.gz" lists some of the files and ends with an error indicating an EOF encountered before the end of file. If the script executes correctly when typed into the shell, why does it not run to completion correctly when run by cron?
