Creating a package from Github source and install instructions

hello
I've read that the correct way to install things is to make a package from source if it's not in a repository.
Install instructions: https://github.com/yaxu/Tidal/blob/mast … l-linux.md
I copied /usr/share/pacman/PKGBUILD.proto into the source directory but was having difficulty getting it to work.
I've actually just done make clean; make like it says in the instructions since I was thinking it's not installing anything (since it's not "make install").
It seems to have changed a few things in /usr/local/include...
I guess I'd like help creating the package,
and possibly undoing what I did with make clean; make.
Thanks

Tidal itself does not have a Makefile (except for its docs), so I suppose you’re talking about Dirt’s makefile. From what I can see it shouldn’t touch /usr/local/include or anything outside the build directory as long as you don’t run “make install”.
Arch doesn’t put anything in /usr/local anyway, as far as I know, so you can probably easily see if Tidal or Dirt put something in there…
It might be easier for you to first build Dirt and Tidal manually and then make a PKGBUILD once you know the different steps required.

  • Running 5.5 U2e and VUM will no longer download software packages from patch source?

    We had a vSphere 5.5 cluster configured for us by a 3rd-party through Dell as part of our purchase agreement. We are running vCenter Server 5.5 U2e on Windows 2012 R2 as a physical host. It does run Update Manager. In my most recent check today, Update Manager will scan a host and report patches that are needed. In this case we're at 5.5.0 Build 2456374 on our ESXi hosts. Update Manager detects 5 missing patches. After I put the host in maintenance mode, I remediate, select the patch group, and proceed through the screens. It starts its process and goes from 0% to 16% to 25% then sits there for about 1–3 minutes, then goes to 90%, 91%, and errors out saying:
    "Cannot download software packages from patch source. Check the events and the Update Manager log for download details."
    Multiple strange things:
    This server was updating just fine a few months back when some previous patches were released.
    It can see the internet just fine. No firewall issues.
    Our failover site on the same network, but in a different location in the city is able to update just fine. Same hardware, network, and software versions.
    Any ideas on where to look or what to try? I had gone ahead and update from vCenter Server 5.5 U2b to U2e (along with a VUM reinstall) hoping that would fix it, but it did not. Any help would be greatly appreciated, because we're not VMware experts and thought everything was set up correctly by the vendor. We were given a small amount of knowledge transfer, but nothing that would allow us to troubleshoot this.
    The Update Manager config listed in vCenter Server points to just three sources, that look to be the default from hostupdate.vmware.com and vapp-updates.vmware.com. None of the settings have been changed from the initial install and configuration that were working at one point in the last few months (when I last patched the hosts to 2456374).
    Looking through the vmware-vum-server-log4cpp.log I see these failures:

    Well, apparently this patch / vib was pulled after release, based on issues with "VMware NSX for vSphere 6.x or Cisco Nexus 1000v" as seen in KB2116370: VMware KB: After upgrading to VMware ESXi 5.5 Patch Release ESXi550-201504002, virtual machines using VMware NSX for…
    Ok, that's cool. But here's my question then. Why is Update Manager still reporting that it's an available patch for our ESXi hosts? I'm new to this and am just trying to get an understanding to avoid confusion like this in the future.
    [UPDATE]
    Looks like this was the problem. VMwareCares Twitter account confirmed that Update Manager needed a new repository query to grab the new metadata. After rescanning the ESXi host again, the number of available patches dropped from 5 to 1. I'm now successfully patching the ESXi hosts through Update Manager once again. Crisis avoided.

  • I have a late 2012 iMac and a late 2009 mac mini.  I want to know if I can take the 8 GB of ram from the iMac and install it in my mac mini.

    I have a late 2012 iMac and a late 2009 mac mini.  I want to know if I can take the 8 GB of ram from the iMac and install it in my mac mini.
    According to Cruicial my mac mini could use:
    Module Size: 8GB Kit (4GBx2)
    Package: 204-pin SODIMM
    Feature: DDR3 PC3-8500
    Specs: DDR3 PC3-8500 • CL=7 • Unbuffered • NON-ECC • DDR3-1066 • 1.35V • 512Meg x 64
    Also According to Cruical my iMac uses:
    Module Size: 8GB Kit (4GBx2)
    Package: 204-pin SODIMM
    Feature: DDR3 PC3-12800
    Specs: DDR3 PC3-12800 • CL=11 • Unbuffered • NON-ECC • DDR3-1600 • 1.35V
    I want to increase the ram in both computers. 
    So,  can I put the iMac ram in my mac mini and then I'd only have to buy ram for my iMac?  Naturally the ulitmate test will be when I actually install it,  but having an expectation of success or failure will allow me to plan on what to spend money on.
    Thanks,
    Bear

    Thanks for the responses.  I probably wont even try as my priority is Ram for the mac mini.  2 is not enough.  8 for my imac is okay for now. 
    Somewhere I thought I'd heard that faster Ram would simply clock at the lower speed.  It seems that I am incorrect.
    Thanks,

  • Any Tutorial / Sample to create Single PDF from multiple source files using PDF assembler in a watched folder process.

    Any Tutorial / Sample to create Single PDF from multiple source files using PDF assembler in a watched folder process. I have a client application which will prepare number of source files and some meta data information (in .XML) which will be used in header/footer. Is it possible to put a run time generated DDX file in the watch folder and use it in Process. If possible how can I pass the file names in the DDX. Any sample Process will be very helpful.

    If possible, make use of Assembler API in your client application instead of doing this using watched folder. Here are the Assembler samples :  LiveCycle ES2.5 * Programming with LiveCycle ES2.5
    Watched folder can accept zip files (sample : Configuring a watched folder to handle multiple input files and write results to a single folder | Adobe LiveCycle Blog ). You can also use execute script to create the DDX at runtime : LiveCycle ES2 * Application Development Using LiveCycle Workbench ES2

    so what
    greetings from berlin

    Greetings,
    It appears to be a FW problem, possibly flaky case, or drive problem.
    One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
    PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
    Reboot, test again.
    If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or some USB or Firewire device, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts (Users & Groups in later OSX versions)>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
    Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
    Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...

  • Is it possible to remove my hard drive from the Macbook and install it in a new Macbook Pro?

    I currently have a 2009 Macbook and am wanting to upgrade to a new Macbook Pro.  I have upgraded my hard drive in the macbook to a 500gb and have a duel boot with Windows 7 installed with Boot Camp along with other software that I do not want to lose.  Is it possible to remove my hard drive from the Macbook and install it in a new Macbook Pro?

    A much better solution is to hook your two Mac together and the first time you start the new Mac and it asks if you wish to recover data from another Mac, answer yes. This will invoke Setup Assitant which will do the job for you but intelligently.
    I know because I just used Setup Assitant. It worked like  a charm.

  • Creating 508 Adobe Acrobat Accessible Docs from various sources and formats

    Note: I have no 508 training, except for perusing of documents on the web.
    I need to create searchable 508 Compliance report documents for Adobe Acrobat (not for the web at this time) from merged PDF files. 
    To create these reports, I do not have originals, all I have been given are PDFs, some of which have been created from Word and others scanned (some with OCR and some not).  Some of the reports are converted directly from Word but may also be a combination of electronic and scanned pages (signature pages, graphics, appendices, etc.)  Often the scanned pages have not been scanned to actual letter size (8.5 x. 11), but are smaller.  Sometimes they are larger or A4.
    In preparing the final report, I take all of the PDFs and merge them into one document.
    I add watermarks and headers/footers to the whole document. 
    In order to get all of the watermarks and headers/footers to align on the page with ease, I need all of the pages to be the standard letter size of 8.5 x 11 without losing any information.
    The only way I can figure out how to achieve this is to take the pages (usually scanned pages) that need to be enlarged (sometimes reduced) and Print to a PDF. 
    This will create a new PDF of the existing PDF; making it the standard letter size of 8.5 x 11, without cropping.
    I can then replace the odd-sized pages with the new PDF pages, creating a document where all of the pages are now the standard letter size of 8.5 x 11.
    Once my document is all the same size, I can add my watermarks and header/footers.
    I still need to make the whole document a searchable 508 Adobe Acrobat compliant document.
    I believe I need to run the OCR Text Recognition to convert/capture scanned pages and pictures to make this document a searchable 508 Adobe Acrobat compliant document.
    I tried running the OCR text recognition on the current merged (160 pages) PDF document (before adding my watermarks, headers/footers) to capture the scanned text, and I receive the following errors:
            This page contains renderable text.
            This page has graphics other than images or text on it. It cannot be captured.
    When I ran the Adobe Acrobat Accessibility checker, I get the following errors:
           The first page is a scanned signature page: the error says
    1 image with no alternate text
                1 element(s) that are not contained within the structure tree.
    1.     Inaccessible page content
         Most of the remaining detailed report errors are:
    Inaccessible page content
    1 element(s) that are not contained within the structure tree.
    I tested one page and used the Touch Up Reading Order tool and added alternate text to a signature block, ran the accessibility checker again, but still came back with alternate text errors.
    I am open to suggestions.  Feel free to advise me from beginning to end in regards to what I’m trying to accomplish. 
    THANK YOU!

    You do have a boat load of work.
         This page contains renderable text.
         This page has graphics other than images or text on it. It cannot be captured.
    This isn't an "error". Acrobat's OCR cannot process  PDF page content that is not exclusively an image.
        1 image with no alternate text
    When properly tagged, an image or graphic in a PDF is identified by the PDF element "Figure"
    (<Figure>).
    All Figures shall have an Alternate Text Description.
    You may have images/graphics that are tagged as Figures but should be Artifacts.
    OCR - The hidden layer of OCR output provided by Searchable Image or Searchable Image (Exact)
    is, for practicable purposes, not something one can effectively created Tagged PDF from.
    Prior to Acrobat 9 one would use Formatted Text and Graphics. With Acrobat 9 one would use
    ClearScan. Alternatively, one might just re-key the content in an authoring application and output Tagged, accessible PDF.
    Watermarks & Header/Footers -
    Oh boy; well, once you have everything else in a "green board" line up you'd add these and manually
    "fold" them into the structure tree via proper tagging.
    So, the first step is to gain at least a fundamental understanding of what an Accessible PDF is and
    how to create it. Then you'd want to become familiar with Section 508 1194.22.
    As each of the paragraphs are correlated to WCAG 1.0, you'll want to review it to understand what
    the correlation is and how it relates to PDF.
    However, Section 508 will be changing.
    The Draft Updated Standards and Guidelines are on the street.

    I've not checked all the links recently - some destinations of the URLs may be gone
    (floatsom on in the deep blue of the web <g>).
    Regardless, much "how to" was in PDF documents Adobe published for earlier Acrobat releases.
    It is still relevant.
