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 RepliesIn 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?
Had 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 having problem building xorg-xserver 1.8 with src2pkg
Heres src2pkg build script:

What am i doing wrong? sysconfdir=/etc directive is inside the script.
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?
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 ?
when i upgraded to slackware-current few days ago i tried to create packages with src2pkg and i get this:

FATAL! Running make install has failed with error: 1

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 ?
before i created packages successfully. i execute src2pkg as root
organizing where I put source directories:
1) Is there any convention or best practice as to where to store source tars for packages that you have to build yourself, as well as for where to store the source directories that are extracted (the ones containing the generated Makefile)? I'm getting to a point where there are tars and source directories all over my home directory and elsewhere, and it's becoming disorganized very quickly.
2) Are the entire source directories needed to be kept around, or could simply the Makefile be enough to perform a 'make uninstall' if necessary?
3) Is there any problem with moving around the source folders after a package has been built and installed? Meaning if I install a package, move the source directory, then do a 'make uninstall' from that new location, would it successfully remove the package?
4) Now that I think about it is there any reason to keep around the tars after installing a package? As long as you have the source directory, what point would there be?
NFS server is on Slackware-current64 and client is on 13.1. The directory being exported is vfat formatted on a firewire drive. I've been accessing this share on the client with Amarok and Juk without incident for a couple of months. Yesterday I decided to try out moc on the client with this setup. After many revisions to fstab options on both the server and client I still get the same result: after a couple of hours running moc post remounting and re-exporting, the directories on the nfs share on the client start disappearing or corrupting.

I've got following problem: need to burn files which are spread through several directories, have names longer that 32 chars, and the chars like " " (space) nad other strange are allowed in the names of files. The file sizes are about 300 MB up to 1.5 GB (perhaps more). I want to burn .iso images (not on fly). I'm not using any graphical interface, so programs like k3b are not allowed.

How do you compile a tar.gz source on slackware?I am asking because I am about to download and install Slackware(x64), and I have some drivers that it may not have (Ubuntu didn't have them) and TrueCrypt source.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI need a mixer app called envy24control. Nobody seems to have a Slackware package for it, which would not be a big deal except that I cannot find the source code either! Does anyone know where I can find this thing?

make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.
I compiled and installed a new visual traceroute program on my laptop running Slackware 12.1, the program is called GTrace. After an initial ./configure attempt, the program said that I had to install the JDK package. I installed <jdk-6u11-i586-1.tgz> and reconfigured, then make and make install, (I also added a required BerkleyDB <db-2.7.7.tar.gz> file to the install directory, as per the webpage instructions). Now when I try to run the program, it attempts to start ( a window appears onscreen and then just stops and sits there). I then ran the program in the command line and this is the output:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: /usr/local/GTrace/libdb/libdb_java.so: /usr/local/GTrace/libdb/libdb_java.so: undefined symbol: __gxx_personality_v0

I searched google for this error and found one user that had a similar output in another program, but after reading the other forum, I have no idea what they were talking about or how to fix this up. How I may overcome this JDK error to be able to run the visual traceroute program.
i am in need of linux help. iam at college and i need this back/restore script to pass this final part of an assessment. i require a backup script that will not only backup but also restore files to the relevent directories. e.g. users are instructed to store all wordprocessor files in a directory named wp. so i am needing to create a backup directory and 3 directories within that and some files within the 3 directories and then back them up ot restore them. l know i should/have to do this myself by been trying to get/understand info for the last few days and came up with zero.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI want to make a webserver with multiple users allowed to login through SFTP to a specific folder, www.Multiple users are added, lets say user1 and user2, and all of them belonging to the www-data group. The www directory has an owner www-data and a group www-data.
I have used chmod -R 775 on the www folder, but after I try to create a folder test through my SFTP server (using Filezilla) the group of the directory created has only r and x permissions, and I am not able to log in with the second user user2 and create a directory within www/test due to a lack of w permission to the group.
I also tried using chmod 2775 on www directory, but without luck. Can somebody explain to me, how can I make it so that a newly created directory inherits the root directory group permissions?
I'm looking to install, and perhaps create a SlackBuild) for an application that I think might be interesting.
The dependencies listed are:

I've checked to see if the packages are installed w/:

I've also looked for any existing SlackBuilds, but the only one that showed up in the database is: "giblib"
Where can I look to find these dependencies, their sources, or determine whether they're already installed in Slackware64 13.1?
Also, how would one determine if this can compile for a 64bit, non multi-lib install?
I've been trying to install Compiz 0.8.4 from the source code provided by the Compiz people.
However, when I run make on the first set of code (compiz-0.8.4 tar package), it halts with the following error:

where can get a open source RAR extractor that supports 64 bit Slackware system? I tried both unrar from GNA and RARlab but they didn't work on my system...
Not sure if I installed them incorrectly
Just as the title says, where on earth is the source for the setup command during the install? I'm guessing that setup is a script, but I'm not sure (can't find it).
View 5 Replies View RelatedI downloaded the source for the latest valgrind and ran ./configure. It quits saying:
Quote:
checking the GLIBC_VERSION version... unsupported version
configure: error: Valgrind requires glibc version 2.2 - 2.10
I've seen a slackbuild package for it. I'd like to have valgrind installed, but I'd prefer installing from source. Are unofficial packages the only way to go for the newest or newer release? EDIT: I meant to ask also, very important, what problems could arise from installing a slightly older version? I don't need a long, complex answer. Just off the top of your head, if it would be real stupid to do, let me know. I can google some time.
I copied the extras/source/grub folder to my home folder.
I did: ./grub.SlackBuild as su.
The install went on for a long time and I saw warnings etc flash by.
I don't know if it has installed properly. I tried it before and it destroyed my grub menu. I managed to recover grub through LMDE and now, I am back for more!
Is there any way to tell if this app is installed properly before I run grubconfig?
Is it possible to upgrade a Slackware installation from a freshly d-loaded DVD? How would one go about this? Would the procedures in the Upgrade.txt work? I would assume they would need to be modified a bit, though, since I'm only upgrading the same version of Slackware. I'm not going from say 13.1 to 13.37. I just want to update a 13.37 current that I installed about three weeks ago to the now final release 13.37. If I could get my silly Trendnet TEW 423IP wireless PCI card to work in Slack, I could upgrade the normal way with Slackpkg.
