I'm using the slackware64 current slackbuild to build a new firefox for -current 32 (I like dynamically linked cairo for fonts). But I am getting a compile error...
I'm looking for a good IDE for C/C++, that runs well in slackware. I used CodeBlocks, but I can't compile in the current, and its getting a little old. I see a lot of threads talking about anjunta and kdedeveloper, but I don't like these.
I'm trying to compile tolua++ so that i can use lua in conky 1.7.2, however I am running into a problem. tolua++ defaults to looking for lua 5.0 libraries and I have lua 5.1 installed since that is what conky requires. According to the README tolua++ can use lua-5.1 but I not sure how to configure tulua++ to use those libraries since it uses scons. Here is a what the README says...
Compiling for lua 5.1
Starting from version 1.0.8pre1, tolua++ can be compiled with both lua 5.0 and 5.1. Both versions will output the same code, and the C API (tolua++.h) is the same.
The build system is not yet ready to detect/decide when to compile for 5.1, the easiest way right now is to add a file called 'custom.py' on the root of the package, with the following:
I just used sbopkg to download and compile Digikam 1.0.0 from slackbuilds.org. But compilation stops with an error regarding "png loader". I guess this has to do with the libpng issue mentioned in the changelog.
Nevertheless: Has anyone been able to compile Digikam on the latest Slackware64-current?
usbimg2disk.sh fails when trying to make the USB partition active with sfdisk. I think this is caused by the new default behavior of fdisk (DOS compatible mode=off, default display units=sectors) I got it working again by replacing the sfdisk command with:
Code: # Set the bootable flag for the first (and only...) partition: lilo -A $USBDRV 1 I think it would also work to use fdisk commands 'c' and 'u' to switch back to the old behavior
I can not get gtkimageview-1.6.4 to build in current. It fails with a number of errors of type:
Code: gtkanimview.c: In function 'gtk_anim_view_get_type': /usr/include/glib-2.0/glib/gthread.h:339: error: dereferencing pointer 'value_location.1' does break strict-aliasing rules /usr/include/glib-2.0/glib/gthread.h:339: note: initialized from here
I'm trying to compile a newer version of devicekit-power (currently I have 009) so maybe I can suspend/hibernate my laptop again, after I updated the kernel. I installed every package "./configure" asked, so it made a Makefile. When I use "make", it builds a few files, then I get this error:
I was trying to use alien bob's slackbuild mentioned in another thread [url] and it failed everytime, so I tried to do it individually, building dependencies with sbopkg which worked except for Schroedinger and then ffmpeg still fails. I don't have access to the logs or fail messages at this moment, but I'm wondering if it is failing due to the newest gcc-multilib version? I'm also running kernel 2.6.33-rc3 with multilib-current.
I am trying to build ORBit2 as a dependency for GConf and then google-chrome.
This is a multilib system and I want 32 bit chrome.
Both my 64 bit and compat32 packages are all current as of today per ftp://slackware.mirrors.tds.net/pub/slackware/.
I have edited the Slackbuild as follows:
Code:
The build fails each time with:
Code:
I am using the newest version of ORBit2 as the above indicates, but this is just to see if the newer package would build. The X.X.17 version failed with the same output.
I have run:
Code:
I've had no problems building this package with current in a pure 64 bit environment.
I recently noticed that the menus and dropdowns in Firefox 3.6 were *extremely* sluggish on my laptop running Slackware64-current. For example, if I click on "File..." or one of the folders on my quicklinks toolbar, the menus take about a second to appear. No other apps are affected and surfing is as fast as usual.I'm running Slackware64-current on a Fujitsu Lifebook V700. I typically use the Xfce window manager, but was able to repeat the problem in Blackbox.
I uninstalled the Firefox 3.6 package from -current and reinstalled the Firefox 3.5.2 package from the slacware64-13 tree and it works fine.I've been scanning the net for others having this same problem and to my utter shock I can't seem to find anyone else reporting remotely the same problem!I'm fine using Firefox 3.5.2 indefinitely, but it's driving me nuts that I can't figure out the source of this problem!
I'm preparing a laptop for Slackware 13.x or whatever the new release will be. I've installed '-current' x86_64 arch. Boy, is this baby fast on this laptop. I thought 13 was fast but oh well another thread.
My issue now is that with '-current' is that ThunderBird links won't open in FF. I click on a link in TB and noting happens. I searched and found '"Browser" problems in Thunderbird 3'.

I modified the 'prefs.js' file. Of course it was done while app was not running. Still no joy. Further searches showed the same thing with most users bumping back to older versions. There's got to be fix and I refuse to give up to a computer let alone a DE.
it's possible to compile the 2.6.37 kernel patched with the autogroup patch on a Slackware 13.1 system running 2.6.33.4-smp with 2.6.33.4 headers? I just compiled and installed the 2.6.37-autogroup kernel from AUR on my ARCH setup and I like it especially when using firefox with lots of tabs open and other background apps also running. I did notice a speed and smothness difference in my ARCH testing setup with this kernel patch and I can get same results in 13.1??
I recently upgraded to slackware-current from Slackware 13 via slackroll, and have only encountered one problem. My file manager no longer thumbnails images, and icons (mostly PNG) aren't appearing no matter what GTK theme is set. Running from the command line produces no errors, and when brought up in something else (say feh /path/to/icon.png) it works perfectly. This is the only hitch I have encountered so far. The same thing happens with emoticons in Pidgin. Does anyone know of a fix?
Installpkg will no longer work, complaining that the rev command is not found. The problem hit with the removal of util-linux-ng. I cp'd util-linux to ~/. Extracted with tar and executed the doinstall. Fixed.
I've used linux for a quite a while and have compiled a small number of applications from source for one reason or another, however this on has me stumped. The program is vfdecrypt which if you are unaware is used to decrypt (among other things) .dmg files such as those found on apple hardware. Here are the relevant definitions:
Surrounding lines use %llu for 64 bit numbers, so I'm assuming %lu is correct for 32bit, at least for the gcc they compiled with. Removing the line, since it is only user output, causes the program to hang on load and not show any output at all. I also tried compiling with -fno-builtin-fprintf thinking maybe my gcc was radically different than theirs and was doing something funky, and it did compile w/o errors, however it went back to not showing any output.
I have fetched the source from muliple sites in order to check the consistancy of this line and every version has it exactly as shown, so I'm thinking that the gcc ubuntu 9.04 ships with might not be a similar enough fork to the one used by the dev of this code.

I updated my kernel in slackware current but can't install lilo, when i was with my old kernel it gave an error about not finding the sda drives (they were named hda before the upgrade).I booted into the slackware 13.0 dvd and modified fstab and lilo.conf replacing hda with sda but lilo still gives an error of not finding sda drives.How can i install lilo so i can boot into my sistem??
I've upgraded Slackware-13.1 I had installed to Slackware-Current using a local tree I had download with mirror-slackware-current.sh script, but when I rebooted I could not get the graphics to load. I think it's because I've also modified /etc/groups and add an username after audio: and video: group, but I forgot that and had to remove slackware from the machine.
I've tried a few different ways to install the ATI graphics driver "fglrx" to get 3D acceleration.If I try to install using the standard file "ati-driver-installer-10-4-x86.x86_64.run" from the ATI web site it appears to work but then I discover it actually got an error.I saw a reference to ATI requiring 32-bit libraries to install their 64-bit driver. Is there a link or post that explains how to add the 32-bit libraries. Will that solve the problem, or will I just waste more time trying that?
I use Alien Bob's mirror-slackware-current.sh with an excludes.txt to only download the parts of current that I want. Unfortunately it is not working for part of the exclude.txt file and I am at a loss to know why.
This ignores e/ f/ y/ testing/ pasture/ source/ and usb-and-pxe-installers/ It also ignores most of kdei/ and /extra It is meant to ignore most of extra/source and just download the source for flash-player-plugin, but it is ignoring all of extra/source/, however the same syntax is working for kdei/ and extra/.
I have been using slackware since version 10.1 and really like it. I have never had a problem until lately, version 13.1 has been stable as a rock for me. The first 2 or 3 updates to current ran well but then the problem started. After installation Slackware would get to the splash screen and bring up the first picture of a disk drive then just hang and never go any further. I do have a good burn on the dvd, have checked the md5 and burned at 4x. then slack 13.37 does the same thing. this is on 4 different computers with several different video boards.
