I'm building a debian source package to upload on my launchpad PPA. Does anyone know what file I should create or edit to make a menu entry for the app? Or a link to some *specific* doc? (The debian doc is quite overwhelming...)
i got a question about making a package from orginal wine source. I keep getting a error on the last part (will post the errro later in post )
What i do is this . apt-get install devscripts cdbs dh-make apt-get build-dep wine cd to the directory dh_make -n -b -s
[Code]...
When i remove the ati drivers it builds fine but with every build of wine to remove my ati drivers is not a option. I also asked on the wine forums but the told me to ask here . And the person also sayed it looks like you install the ati drivers from the one of the ati site but i installed them from the debian repos.
I want to compile geki2 from source. I tried apt-get source geki2but I getReading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done E: Unable to find a source package for geki2I assume that /etc/apt/sources.list needs some additional entry. I run lenny.
Apart from that could someone explain to me what is the importance of files *.dsc , *.tar.gz and *.diff.gz in every package ? I assume *.tar.gz is the source. Is this independent from Debian ? I assume also that *.diff.gz is some patch you have to apply after you expand *.tar.gz in order to get a Debian specific version but how do you apply the patch ?
I have a project and would like to create a .deb package that brought on any computer with debian distribution installs it in your home user who is installing.I followed a guide and managed to create a deb package from my sources with FPM. But creates them with root permissions and tells me that I should create a script before installation to change the permissions.
why it is that when I download the sendmail debian source package for etch and build it using dpkg-buildpackage -b -nc I get a 645543 byte sendmail executable whereas when I download the sendmail binary that is 703292 bytes.
Getting the error: Code: Select allThe required package keybinder was not found on your system. *** Please install keybinder (atleast version 0.2.2) or adjust *** the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you *** installed the package in a nonstandard prefix so that *** pkg-config is able to find it.
I have installed everything available in the jessie repo with "keybinder" in the name. It seems like my path variable is configured correctly:
So, there are these source packages i downloaded, which i want to build with slightly different configure options due to a bug in debian: hfd5-serial and hdf5-openmpi cannot coexist, yet some packages require the serial version of the lib , others require the openmpi.
I downloaded the sources, in order to build them, without the hdf5 thing...
I have already built this from source in Scientific Linux, and i know this can be done without hdf5.
Where do i hack into the debian source tree of a package to remove a configure option...?
I'm trying to install the calculator Qalculate from source so I download the tar.gz package for KDE from their official website to my ~/Downloads folder. I unzipped it with
Code: Select all tar xzf qalculate-kde-0.9.7.tar.gz
I moved the exploded folder to my /home/guest/ folder (my user-name is guest), I entered the qalculate-kde-0.9.7 folder and searched for a INSTALL or README file. Here's what the INSTALL file says to do. The INSTALL file says to run the following commands
After giving the first command, trouble started; here's what I got:
Code: Select allroot@aliquis:/home/guest/qalculate-kde-0.9.7# ./configure checking build system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu checking host system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu checking target system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c checking for -p flag to install... yes
[Code] .....
This is impossible, as I am running a fully functioning kde system. What should I do? I don't find the kde version of Qalculate in Apper...
I've just been looking at a simple but well done flash based graphic on the bbc. [URL]..it is about supercomputing (btw, isn't it great to see that linux is uber alles in that area of computing). My question is simple: How would one make some interactive online graphic like this on linux using open-source tools? ideally, I would also like it to work on the client side using only open-source tools. I've heard a little about openlazlo, but I don't really know what it does.
I'm trying to compile a project on my raspberry pi with little success. I typed export DH_VERBOSE=1 and added -v to the gcc options in the Makefile to see what was going on and this is the output. I'm trying to compile hda-jack-retask to get the raspberry pi headphone jack set to be a microphone jack. I want to be able to use the microphone jack as the input to xoscope, an oscilloscope program.
Code: Select allpi@raspberrypi ~/~diwic/+junk/hda-jack-retask $ dpkg-buildpackage dpkg-buildpackage: source package hda-jack-retask dpkg-buildpackage: source version 0.20120113 dpkg-buildpackage: source changed by David Henningsson <david.henningsson@canonical.com> dpkg-buildpackage: host architecture armhf  dpkg-source --before-build hda-jack-retask

And it sits here for at least 24 hours. Alternatively, It looks like this program is part of the alsa-tools package in Ubuntu, but not in Debian. Need to figure out this freezing issue, should I pull down the Ubuntu source and build a debian package from that?
I am trying to compile C source file to generate .trb file (turbo file) which will then burn on trubo sim using TP2. When I comiple the code following error is occuring. before going through belwo error I was getting error 'Unknown MCU atmega128', known MCU are: (list appread), then I change the configuration and set the MCU to supported list then following error is occuring.
Is there a guide on creating a package from PHP scripts or something? Example: if I've developed a system and I want to make it to a deb file to deploy to my friends and such. I've tried looking for one but I have not been lucky so far.
I have just installed ..src.rpm package. How do I uninstall it ? It's confusing to me because src and binary package share the same name ? (at least "rpm -qa" doesn't show any new src packages)
Makefile.in a file that is generated by tool, why it is in the source package? I am asking since , when I modified Makefile.am, I need to run automake to update the makefile.in, while I don't think this should be done manually.
I was a die hard Ubuntu user for the last 2 years and decided to use something more advanced or different. My question (after searching the crap out of Google) is how can I view the source code of Fedora? I have found many sites explaining this but it is not written in terms that are easy for me to understand. I haven't been programming for years and using advanced features in Linux so most of these sites are not explaining out and most are explaining how to build and add on to the kernel.
I am trying to install an iso reader but no matter which package I choose they all return this error:The action would require the installation of packages from unauthenticated sources.These are all packages in the Ubuntu Software centre .
Kubuntu ships by default with a crippled K3b that won't rip DVDs to video files. Therefore I followed the instructions here to install it from source against libdvdread-dev. Now KPackageKit is continuously bugging me about 5 updates: k3b, k3b-dbg, libk3b-dev, libk3b6, and libk3b6-extracodecs. If I let those be "updated," I just get the binary versions of the same versions, without DVD ripping capabilities. Is there a way to get DVD ripping in k3b without APT continuously wanting to "update," it away?
why status of fedora-source is 0, dose this means there's no available packages in this repo? kernel-headers and kernel-devel have been installed, how can i install the kernel-source package?
I wanted to fix something in the Kate editor. So instead of downloading it from it's website (Get It! - Kate | Get an Edge in Editing) I wanted to download the "openSUSE Kate" source package. But as you can see, there is no source package available. I tested it with source installation of "zypper" (zypper si zypper) and it worked.Any ideas? Is the kate source code in another package?
I know there's a which command, that echoes the full name of a binary (e.g. which sh). However, I'm fairly sure there's a command that echoes the package that provides a particular binary. Is there such a command? If so, what is it? I'd like to be able to run this:
I'm running Karmic Desktop Live CD from a USB stick, and trying to install Ubuntu to a hard disk using debootstrap I get these errors:
$ sudo debootstrap karmic /dir file:///cdrom/
Quote:
I: Retrieving Release I: Validating Packages I: Resolving dependencies of required packages... I: Resolving dependencies of base packages... W: Failure trying to run: chroot /dir mount -t proc proc /proc
[Code].....
I've read this bug report: [URL] basically, the discussion states that Desktop CD can not be used as package source for debootstrapping, I understand it is because of different file structure than the required for a repository, but would like to know more specific information about it, and if possible, how could I use the CD as package source for debootstrap?
First of all, I am pretty new to linux and I have 2 install a USB OVer IP software. I downloaded the software for UBUNTU n I really do not know where to find the installer. I want to find the source code in the package too.. its an open source project. So I believe the source codes are included in that .
How do I find which "software source" provided a package that I installed? Some weeks ago, I installed linux-realtime. A collaborator is trying to mirror my setup and looked for that package, but it isn't in the default software sources. So, I need to tell him where I got it.
I'm seeking for a site to manually download the source of the kernel 2.6.31-14-generic for Ubuntu 9.10. I did search through the addresses listed in my /etc/apt/sources.list file but that was of no help. So could somebody please give me a precise address to download from?
I'm building a certain RPM package that must require an old version of that same package in order to be installed/upgraded. Is this possible?
For example:
For a package foo v5, somewhere in the spec file: "Requires: foo >= 4"
I'm declaring this on the Requires tag of the spec file, but when I try to install or upgrade the package (without having the previous required version installed) I get no dependency error! As for other dependencies it all works fine. If, instead, I create a package named "bar" that "Requires: foo >= 4", when installing I do get the expected dependency error. I'm thinking it's not possible to require an old version of the same package.
