What's the best way to use src2pkg to build sources checked out from svn?
Src2pkg expects a source tarball. But when you check out or export a program's code from svn you don't get a tarball. You just get a source directory.
Do I tar and gzip the directory? Or is there a way to skip that step?
In INSTALL I can see:
Quote:
to build from either unpacked tarball or CVS source:
autoheader
autoconf
./configure # (--help to see options)
make # (the make from GNU, sometimes called gmake)
su # Possibly required
make -n install # (to see where all the files will go)
make -s install # (to really install, -s to silence output)
code....
I think that trouble is in autoheader. I don't now does src2pkg (2.1) support it.Is it impossible to build a package of privoxy with src2pkg?
I know this is probably simple, but I have been trying to upgrade to the latest release of Opera, downloaded the Bz2 file, and when running source to package it fails with this error. Opera seems to be the only app this fails with. I got the same error on the previous release as well, so I just gave up and waited until Slackpackage.org finally got that release.
I searched here and the net, and did in fact find a previous post about this, but, truthfully, I didn't understand the explanation at all.
Anyone have any idea how to handle this error?
I am wondering if there is a way to use src2pkg on source directories I have checked out from git? I can't see any such option in the manpage. At the moment it works if I tar it up, but I can't find a way to just use the directory directly.
View 1 Replies View RelatedHad 1.9.9 installed and upgraded using 2.1 but 'src2pkg --setup' throws an error. So I removed any existing packages and re-downloaded/reinstalled.
Same issue:
What's strange is that there is a src2pkg-helpers-1.0-x86_64-1.tgz package in the directory from which src2pkg was installed, but the setup procedure is trying to install using src2pkg-helpers-1.0.tar.bz2. So it's as if 'src2pkg --setup' is trying to install using the wrong src package ...
I can download the helpers install package which has the correct name, but I'd prefer to sort this out first.

Im trying to make a sort of slackware using LFS.In the first chapter I have to make the kernel-headers this way :
make mrproper
make headers_check
make INSTALL_HDR_PATH=dest headers_install
cp -rv dest/include/* /usr/include
Can I do these steps also with using a the source and src2pkg ?
auto generated doinst.sh files when using the -A switch.
The file will contain link removal and generation for libraries in the package eg.
When upgrading to a new version of the app, the library name might change eg.
So the links that doinst.sh creates is now incorrect. ie. the link is now dead because it points to a file that does not exist. Does one have to regenerate .src2pkg and resulting doinst.sh when using a new version of the package or is there another way to have doinst.sh regenerated without redoing .src2pkg?
I have a little problem installing src2pkg on my linux from stratch system.
I downloaded the package and saved it on /
After that I did cd /usr/libexec/src2pkg/src2pkg-helpers
There I did a sh src2pkg.setup
But now I'm getting this error message :
/usr/libexec/src2pkg/13-make-description: line 438: 'read_pkg_info_desc : not a valid identifier.
Do anyone have any idea what went wrong ?

is it because of i have slackware 32bits i installed src2pkg successfully on slackware 13 but on slackware-current if i remove it and do src2pkg --setup i get error something like cannot live without it every time. when wanting to create src2pkg-helpers.
but i want to know what im doing wrong ?

Trying to install SW 13.1 (on DVD) on the following system: M/B Intel: DX38BT Processor Intel Core 2 Quad Q6700 - 2.66GHz, 8MB Cache, 1066MHz FSB, Socket 775 Memory Corsair Dual Channel 8192MB PC10600 DDR3 1333MHz Memory (4x2048MB) Graphics Diamond Radeon HD 3850 Video Card - Viper, 512MB GDDR3, PCI Express 2.0 P/S Ultra 1000W
My goal is to install the i386 build on one partition and the 64-bit build on another. I have been away from Linux for a while and am sick to death of Win7, want to come home. :-}
Booted on i386 side of DVD, system freezes after a couple of lines that start with ATA2. Does not respond to 3 finger salute, ctrl-c, nothing. Have to press reset. I have tried both huge.s and hugesmp.s kernels
Booted on 64-bit side, comes up fine. I performed the install, selected for automatic lilo install. Lilo install hung but I was able to reboot. I booted off the 64-bit side again, entered the following: huge.s root=/dev/sde3 rdinit= ro It booted fully to the login prompt but the keyboard does not work, no input.
I'm trying to build the package zaptel on debian, but I'm encountering two errors:
1- When I try to run the "make menuselect" command, I get an error stating that I need ncurses which is missing. I tried to get it installed but didn't get to do it yet.
2- After that, there's the command "make" I think it's to build the package. Yet again this fails, and the error I get is "you do not appear to have the sources for the 2.6.26-2-686 kernel installed".

I want to compile a kernel to add a few options that are not enabled in the huge-smp-2.6.29.6 that comes with slackware. specifically, i want to add TASK_DELAY_ACCT and TASK_IO_ACCOUNTING so that I can use iotop. I just want to add those 2 options to the new kernel, everything else I'd like to keep the way it is as the system has been running just fine. Will running 'make menuconfig' in /usr/src/linux default to the options that are used in the stock kernel?

View 13 Replies View RelatedI'm using Slackware 13.0 on rather old PC with old Riva TNT2 video card. Default driver is "nv". Everything work fine, but without hardware 2D acceleration under X.
After studying various manuals I
1. downloaded Nvidia binary package suitable for my video card.
2. Recompile kernel without Riva framebuffer support.
3. Start Nvidia script.
Script said: "Error: unable to find the kernel source tree for the currently running kernel. Please make sure you have installed the kernel source files for your kernel and that they are properly configured...""
Kernel sources are in /usr/src/linux-2.6.29.6 I have all kernel packages installed. I was trying various switches for script in order to show the right path - nothing! 8 Some people say that Nvidia script don't like 4th digit in a kernel's name and get it from "uname -r" output. Can I change it somehow?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI've got the following problem: I just noticed that there were just very few notifications about updating the system (usually there are damn many of them in a week) So I opened the update manager and clicked on "refresh list". The following result popped up: p,li{white-space:pre-wrap;}E: Error http://ppa.launchpad.net natty/main/Sources Sources 404 Not Found First I thought, it would be just some kind of server problem, but it didn't stop. The next thing was to research the thread and I even found something. However, the solution suggested didn't work at all. (Things, which might have caused this: I installed the default software center |I'm using Kubuntu, but in this case that fact doesn't matter| and used it. To sum up:
- not able to update the system referring to the launchpad main sources for 11.04
- following error: E: Error http://ppa.launchpad.net natty/main/Sources Sources 404 Not Found It would be great if this was a common issue and I've been simply too stupid to find a proper solution. So you could just post the link.
I have been trying to build FreeCad and k-3d for Slackware......not much luck...
FreeCad has two build systems... automake and cmake, both fail despite the fact that dependencies are installed...cmake build system fails at about 80% complaining that it cannot find

I guess the build system is broken...About K-3d, the thing builds alright..had to install libsig++ glibmm cairomm pangomm and gtkmm as dependencies...
The thing actually builds but when i try to make the installable package, I have to use trackinstall -i="make -i install", but the installable package fails to launch because it cannot find stuff in /usr/share/

I am running Jolicloud on my netbook (which I believe is an Ubuntu derivative) and I am tried to enter the getdeb.net sources in so I can install apps from the website through APT but
1) When I entered the sources into sources.list and then the key into Terminal and then went to the site and tried to install an app it didn't work.
2) I deleted the line of code in the sources.list file and when I opened terminal and entered "sudo apt-get update" it showed the list of sources, but on the list were Getdeb.net sources.
My question is how do I delete sources that aren't in /etc/apt/sources.list ?
