As always, very impressive effort from Slackbuilds.org to get slackbuild scripts updated for 13.1. Thanks to all who maintain these scripts. One which does not seem to have made it to 13.1 so far is a build script for WINE. Anybody know whether this is beacuse of some problem ? Or just an oversight ? The 13.0 script is there - might be OK to just use this with 13.1 ?
I have the latest fbreader.Slackbuild via sbopkg. The compilation steps seem to run OK until, if I understand this correctly, it starts work on libzlcore, at which point things go wrong :
Code:
OK
The README says I will need liblinebreak, which I "Slackbuilt" with no problems.
Running Slackware64-13.1; installed the SlackBuild Blender and I changed the last line in SlackBuild script to .txz everything seems fine. Now I'm looking at FlashPlayer SlackBuild, noticed the last line is .tgz? Just want to make sure I am supposed to be changing the last script line .tgz to .txz?
I am trying to build conky from SlackBuilds.org using sbopkg, but the build fails every single time. It may be worth noting that I am trying to build with extra options, namely --disable-x11 --disable-xdamage --disable-own-window --disable-xft.
This is so I can have a cli-only conky that I can pipe to my status bar. This has worked in the past, but now the build is failing with a seemingly unrelated error.
It states:
Code:
At the end of the build. I tried removing the option --enable-audacious, but that only resulted in an error which complained that yet another option (--enable-rss=yes) was a "Command not found". This continues as I remove options. I would like to keep many of those options active as I have a need for certain features.
This is a copy of the SlackBuild being used:
Code:
I have a full install of Slackware64 v13.1, so audacious is installed. I don't know what else could be going wrong, and I don't know why this worked in the past.
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.
My system is mostly slack 11.0 (Absolute Linux 11.0 actually) I have been trying to build stfl from SlackBuilds.org. I think I'm missing some ncurses wide stuff but don't know how to compile for ncursesw.
I have stock ncurses5.5 on my system.
Compiler output is:
I have /usr/include/ncurses on my system but not /usr/include/ncursesw/ncurses.h
My goal is to compile newsbeuter but this dependency is in the way.
I am trying to build abcde from slackbuilds.org and include needed packages like id3. When I went to build it I was unable to download the source from [url] and I get a 404 error in dutch. I was wondering if anyone had this issue or if there was another trusted place to grab the source code? I checked the archives of the slackbuilds-user mailing list to see if the issue is already known, but I didn't see anything.
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 am using current and want to install kde 4.5 from alien's, here is my problem. I don't understand the statement below. Below are the steps you take to install or upgrade to KDE 4.5.0. First, change your current directory to where you found this README. From within this directory, you run the following commands as root.
after update to slackware current 4 days ago i cant get sound working in wine in starcraf 2 i mean i got sound in instalation but not in game and i get error when i wanna configure sound in winecfg

I have downloaded the source package and the slackbuild package for OpenOffice 3.2.0.Everything seems to go well until doinst, then I get error messages about zero length files:
I was trying to install the HandBrake slackbuild. It gave me an error saying it needed webkit, so I check for it in slackbuilds.org, where I found it. Listing said it required two things: libsoup and icu4c. So I downloaded the slackbuilds for those two and they installed fine, then started the install for webkit.
It did its build thing for about ten minutes, then it errors out, but the error message is pretty convoluted so I'm not sure what its telling me. Here's the last few lines from the terminal:
[Code]...
Anyone know what went wrong, and what I need to do to fix this?
I've seen that some guy here in this forum has installed Code_Aster and Salome-Meca on his Slackware. There is also a nice howto for installing CA on Slackware13 64bit. I already managed to install the two softwares and make them working without big troubles. I would like to create the slackware pakages from the sources in order to make easy uninstalling and upgrading the packages. Unfortunately I'm not so skilled, the installation procedure is a bit different from the usual one so I cannot start from some existing slackbuild. They must be installed launching a post_install.py script after uncompressing the archive. I'm unable to understand what this python script does but I think they are installed as a stand-alone programs with all the dependencies and configuration files in the destination folder. I wonder if you think it's worth to create the package and ask for some tips on how to do this.
I try to install game Widelands using Slackbuild script. But computer overheat and turn off in middle of install. Now when I try again it say this:
Code: root@XXXXXX:/usr/local/widelands# ./widelands.SlackBuild ./widelands.SlackBuild: line 59: cd: widelands: No such file or directory I install this on other computer so I know I do it right. I have all dependency. I think first script run leave stuff unfinished before comp turn off and now it all confused. I not know how to read script so I not know how to fix situation. Can someone tell me what to do?:
Having downloaded alien for the first time, and attempted to use it to convert an rpm file to a deb file (specifically asymptote located at [URL]), instead I found that it failed to do so. I've searched on google for a long while, and found that while this appears to be a problem encountered by multiple people, but there are no workarounds posted anywhere. Here is the error message that I am getting:
Unpacking of 'asymptote-1.92-1.fc12.i686.rpm' failed at /usr/share/perl5/Alien/Package/Rpm.pm line 153.
I've tried running the following variants of commands and all fail with the same error:
The errors reported by others are on a variety of packages, so it seems to me that it is an bug with alien itself and not with the package, but that is only a guess.
And related to this, Alien is version 8.69, perl 5.8.8 and ubuntu is 8.04.
I want to let vlc take use of my Intel HD's H264 hardware decoder. I installed libva with the SlackBuild from SBo. But Alien said libva should match the version vlc built with. So I decided rebuild vlc with new libva.So I changed the LIBVA to 0.31.1-1+sds4 and added --enable-i965-driver to libva's configure. Building was fine but when I opened a flash video(h264) it said that I don't have h264 plugin and refused to continue. After I changed the version number back, vlc can play h264 again.As a compromise, I comment out make_libva in the building phase. All things went well then. It won't consume too much CPU even when play large h264 So what is wrong with new libva? I noticed vlc 1.1.4 was released, but I think Alien is more qualified to bump the version. So I didn't change that.
We can have now the KDE 4.5.1 in place of 4.5.0 in alien's ktown depositories.I've read the readme file.
Quote:
First, change your current directory to where you found this README. From within this directory, you run the following commands as root. On Slackware 32-bit: # upgradepkg --reinstall --install-new x86/deps/*.t?z # upgradepkg --reinstall --install-new x86/kde/*.t?z
But I have to download first the 4.5.1 directory from [URL]..
I've disabled the strigi search and "semantic search" in KDE settings but no help. strigidaemon starts every time after I logged in and makes the system slow.(since it scanning the disk, there will a lot of disk IO)
Best way to go about upgrading current with Eric's 4.4 packages installed. It looks like some of the changes in current are newer versions than what I'm running with the 4.4. packages installed so I'm not real sure of the best path to follow . Would it be better to just blacklist the 4.4. packages and proceed with the upgrade or does somebody else have a better idea?
I'm trying the DVD authoring stuff on Slackware, so okay I have downloaded Tovid along with its dozens of dependencies that has their own dependencies and so on...Now, one of the dependency is x264 (for encoding H264/AVC video streams). I already have alien bob's VLC from the uk site (restricted packages) and I've read on his blog (if I'm not mistaken) that it has the H264 capability (don't know how to describe it ).Is there any chance that it will conflict with this x264 library?
I am running Slackware64 -current. I just upgraded KDE to 4.6.0 from Alien Bob's ktown repo, and upon doing so my battery monitor no longer functions properly. More specifically, the icon will appear in the panel, but when I choose the option to show the charge/discharge state it does not show. The icon only ever shows that the battery is not plugged in to an external power source (showing a plug and a red x). It is important that I get the battery monitor functional once again as I am running my new Slackware64 -current install on a laptop and don't like to be left wondering when my laptop's battery will die and if I need to plug it in.
I am going to try out a tiling wm and I have narrowed my search down to scrotwm and dwm. I installed scrotwm from slackbuilds.org but it did not show up as a selection when I ran xwmconfig? Any ideas as to why? So then I went install dwm from slackbuilds.org but saw there was only a build script for slackware 13 as opposed to 13.1 which is what I am running. So two questions for dwm, one why is there no slackbuild for 13.1, and two when I tried to use the slackbuild for 13 this also didn't show up under xwmconfig, any thoughts?
I recently installed slackware 13 on my system and then i went to slackbuilds and installed wine now when i try to install software through wine it will run the installer for the software fine and say the programs are installed but when I go to run the programs nothing happens
