Building from SlackBuild scripts... what am I doing wrong?

[kikinovak]

Hi,

I'm actually experimenting doing my own packages with slacky.it's build scripts. Until recently, when I needed an extra package, I just compiled the source - and all the needed dependencies - then I installed everything one after another with checkinstall. This gets a bit tedious when I have to do it on many machines, that's why I wanted to experiment with the Slackbuild scripts.

I tried the following.

Create two directories, ~/source and ~/packages. Let's say I want to build lame: I create a directory ~/source/lame, which will contain a) the lame source tarball b) lame.Slackbuild and c) the slack-desc for lame. So far so good. In this directory, I su to root, and then I simple do the following:

Codice: Seleziona tutto

# ./lame.SlackBuild

I wait for everything to configure, compile and build a package. At the end of the operation, I have a lame-xxx-xxx-xxx.tgz package in /tmp. I copy this package to ~/packages, and then I install it (as root, of course).

On my main machine, I have several partitions, with a total of three complete Slackware 10.2 installs. The first Slackware is my "production" environment, the one I write this message on. Only tested software here. Then I have my "build environment". And the 3rd one is the "testing" environment.

Problem: I can build packages and install them OK, it seems, in the build environment. BUT... when I transfer these packages to the testing environment and install them with a simple installpkg, some packages have errors. Example: kaffeine and superkaramba don't appear anymore in the KDE menu, and when I start kaffeine manually, it sort of starts, but with an error messge about a kaffeine_something module not found.

Am I doing wrong in the build process?

Suggestions very welcome,

PS: I understand a little bit italian.... e possibile rispondere in italiano

1) you must have the same library (better same version) in every system
2) Don't forget the "doinst.sh" script, that usually fix problems with desktop links end /etc stuff

The two systems are identical: full installs of Slackware 10.2. Kaffeine works OK on one, and I get error message about missing module on the other. Two systems also have same (2.6.12) kernel with same .config. I'm clueless.

Strange! What is the name of this module? You receive a FATAL error?

Later...

Tried everything again from scratch, and everything worked perfectly! But I think I found the error. The first time round, I tried two different builds of libdvdread and libdvdcss... but I forgot to remove the old ones everytime... so I had two different builds of libdvdread and libdvdcss installed. Maybe that confused the shit out of Kaffeine... but then, I'm not sure.

Anyway, cheers,

Niki
