Going from secondlife to nunit as root problem

Well, in last 48 to 72 hours, I have been trying to build secondlife
from source on x86_64, with less and less hope after each hours.
Searching for help, I discovered libsecondlife:
http://www.libsecondlife.org/wiki/Main_Page
and http://opensimulator.org/ .
Being in .NET, I hope, or at least was hoping, to have much less
problems compiling it.
So I began to follow instructions at:
http://www.libsecondlife.org/wiki/Getting_Started#Linux
Seems we have in extra: mono, nant and subversion.
So I began to make a NUnit package:

build() {
cd $startdir/src/src
nant build-all || return 1
Well, the instructions suggest:
sudo nant build-all, well, I tought building in fakeroot would be
enough but this gives me:
==> Starting build()...

I don't really feel to run it as makepkg --asroot , as I feel it will
mess my installation.
So I am writing this 'Help!' message. ;-)
In case you are curious about my attempts at building a source port
for secondlife, my latest incarnation is:

The main problem encountered being:
https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/VWR-4469
But also, if replacing by simply:
# include <ft2build.h>
which may not be a correct fix...
Then I got gdk not installed problem.
If you try these PKGBUILD, please note that we
have distcc (pacman -Sy distcc), so you could get much faster results
using this and using DISTCC=yes .
Also FMod and x86_64 are said to not work together.
Anyway, the SConstruct file (some kind of Makefile in Python) does
deactivate FMod on x86_64.
Avoiding to touch these PKGBUILDs could help you very
much keep your mental sanity.
But for now, help is required on nunit.
Well, maybe it not even mandatory for libsecondlife.

about nbuild compilation by nant;
now I just try: nant mono-1.0 release build
from /home/paul/builds/nunit/src/src
but get:

Total time: 1.1 seconds.
guess I need to find some kind of log4net module.
Edit: I have found log4net in aur, and was able to built it (adding arch=('x86_64')), and now I have: $pacman -Q log4net
log4net 1.2.9beta-1
But seems to get the same error.
Edit2: hum, doing gacutil -l I see that I have:
log4net, Version=1.2.9.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=200a2bd1219e83a8
monodoc, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=0738eb9f132ed756

nunit.util, Version=2.2.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=96d09a1eb7f44a77
I guess nunit is coming with mono.
Guess it is time to try to compile libsecondlife then.
Edit3:
yep, libsecondlife built easily in just one minute.
did:
cd
mkdir libsndlife
cd libsndlife
svn co svn://opensecondlife.org/libsl/trunk
cd trunk/
nant
cd bin
then $mono TestClient.exe result in:
Usage:
TestClient.exe --first firstname --last lastname --pass password --contact "youremail" [--startpos "sim/x/y/z"] [--master "master name"] [--masterkey "master uuid"] --loginuri="uri"
[paul@myhost bin]$
Now I guess I need to find an account to use.
Edit4: Some are listed at:
http://opensimulator.org/wiki/OpenSim:Grids
But now, I feel to sleepy to try.
Edit5: Guess it is call LIBsecondlife for a good reason, this seems to be far from a complete client... guess I should just reinstall in 32 bits and use the binary version of Second life.
Edit6: Hum, even reinstalling in 32 bits and using binary version does not give too good results.
It hangs for me when not staying idle. After hang, only mouse stil move, but nothing else on computer works.
Simplest available option would be to capture with kdump, but it looks so complex that I don't want.
Edit7: Well, I tried to reexecute the PKGBUILD publish here, on i686, with a slightly different scons line.
First, the message have mess a lot the file, guess it would be better to put it in mypkgs, even if it is not known to work.
This time I have used:
scons BUILD=releasefordownload BTARGET=client DISTCC=yes
To my great surprise, it seems to have almost work:

which is normal, I had commented out:

#   cp api/libfmod-3.75.so ../linden/libraries/i686-linux/lib_release_client/
#   # was causing rights errors, but it seems I had decompressed files as root
the problem is that doing so in fakeroot, make these copies be own by root.
You then have to be root to undo the changes, and rebuilding give a permission error.
The ideal would be to pause fakeroot, the time to exec those lines.
Edit8: Incredible! I have been playing for almost 2 minutes, (before it suddenly disappeared as if it had crashed), on my
self compiled version!!! Which is much better than on secondlife-bin port. Well, I'll try to post my pkg... after replaying a bit.
Edit9: he he he, I was playing in a window, when I decided to teleport elsewhere.
Suddenly, the screen became completely black. Freaky realistic!
Then I was hang in nowhere land of course.
Edit10: Ok make a first attempt to a port:
search for secondlife in AUR.

  • Need help going from as2 to as3 with root

    Hi guys I'm only just getting into AS2, back then I would use _root to access the root of the timeline.
    I am trying ot do the same thing in AS but have been unsuccesful
    I've tried

    Any help would be great

    if you had a movieclip with instance name myinstancename_mc on the root timeline when that code executed, you wouldn't see that error message.  ie, there's nothing wrong with your syntax.
    the most common problems would be typos, myinstancename_mc in more than one keyframe and myinstancename_mc not existing when that code executes.

    when photo stream is supposed to be fixed?my photos  is not going to photo stream from camera roll, so when this problem will be fixed by apple?

    There is nothing wrong with Photostream.  The "problem" is likely in the way you are using it.
    In order for photos to be moved into Photostream, two things must happen.  (1) you have to be connected to Wifi, and (2) you have to exit the Camera app. Unless both of those things happen, the photos will not be transferred to Photostream.
    So, shut down your camera app, and connect to Wifi.  Wait a while, and the photos you took with your iPhone should be transferred. 

  • Old problem I know but I cant play any of the songs in my library.tells me  cant find original  . Have not changed anything  apart from going from xp to windows 7.

    This support community is a bit new for me. Have read some old entries with the same problem but couldnt see any solutions. Libray shows all the songs ( over 2500) but I cant play any of them. Message is that itunes cant find the original.   ???? only difference is going from xp to windows 7 . can I put the songs from my ipod back on my computer maybe?

    Go into windows explorer and find out where the music is now located - in Windows 7 you have libraries for documents, music, photos and video.
    iTunes is located:
    Music
    itunes
    iTunes Media
    music
    If all the files are in that place it may just be that you have to amend a preference in iTunes:
    Edit
    Preferences
    Advanced
    ensure   Keep itunes Media organised and Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library are both ticked
    Once ticked you will have a bit of a wait while iTunes re-organises the library but then your songs should all be playable again.

  • Need help with iphone 4s activation goes from hello to country to network and will not activate on network or itunes i am original owner with no  obvious problems with phone any ideas

    need any ideas on iphone trying to use again but now it goes from hello to country to network then tries to activate but on wifi and itunes both say sever unavailable any ideas?

    That message usually means that your phone was once connected to a different phone carrier than the one you're currently on.
    Then when you restore or updated the phone it locked back to the original phone carrier - this is caused when the phone was hacked to unlock it from the original phone carrier.
    Very rarely is the activation server unavailable.

  • IPhone 4s Voice Memo App has 5 second delay when the record button is pressed. When it starts recording, it goes from 0 seconds to 5 or so seconds recorded. This happens randomly and often and sometimes has the delay but starts at zero. Solution Anyone?

    After iOS 7 update, my iPhone 4s Voice Memo App has 5 second delay when the record button is pressed. When it starts recording, it goes from 0 seconds to 5 or so seconds that it shows has recorded. This happens randomly and often, sometimes it will have the 5+ second delay but starts recording at zero seconds. Besides the delay it has been working fine as far as saving and playback is concerned. I have plenty of storage on the phone itself and it NEVER had this problem before I updated to iOS 7. I've reset the phone a couple times by holding down the power and home buttons at the same time. The reason I have an issue with this is that I'm always recording song ideas, melodies, and scratch takes; what I'm saying is when I come up with an idea I need to be able to know that when I hit record it will start right then so I don't forget anything that has just popped in my mind.
    Does anyone have a solution or suggestion?
    Thanks

  • My ipod 5th gen ios 7.0.6 crashed and keeps going from the apple logo, going to a black screen, back to the apple logo, then back to the black screen and so on. Furthermore, my laptop doesn't recognise that the iPod is connected. What do I do?

    My ipod 5th gen ios 7.0.6 crashed and keeps going from the apple logo, going to a black screen, back to the apple logo, then back to the black screen and so on. Furthermore, my laptop doesn't recognise that the iPod is connected. What do I do?
    Please help me out as this is very irritating. This has been happening for the last 20-30 minutes. It had roughly half battery left.

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable       
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • I just jazzed up my 2 Ghz iMac with 10.6.8, and 4 gigs of memory. I'm VERY happy with the results (fast!), but now I have a thin yellow line way over on the right side of the screen, which goes from top to bottom. This is really strange! Any input?

    I'm VERY happy with the results (fast!). However, the really strange thing is this - there is now a thin yellow line, way over on the right side of the screen, which goes from top to bottom, and stays there no matter where I go or what I do. I've never seen anything like this! It was not there before I did the upgrades. Anyone out there ever heard of such a preposterous thing ~ or have any ideas on how to get rid of it?

    Hello Mark,
    It's going to mean a lot of reading but you should study the 'More like this' legend to your post's immediate right.  >>>>>>>>   plus some of the links within each.
    The problem is well explored with much guidance on what to do and where to go.

  • How do I force a file download from a folder above the root?

    I am new to ColdFusion and need some help. I set up a virtual folder on my website and then mapped in the CF9 admin panel to a "Docs" folder above my root, where I would like to store sensitive documents. CF tags are enabled.
    I know that my mapping is set up correctly, because when I set up a cfm page with the following code, I can successfully download the file:
    <cfheader name="Content-Disposition" value="attachment; filename=Calendar.pdf">
    <cfcontent type="application/pdf file=/Docs/Calendar.pdf">
    But what I need is to create one cfm age that will be able to handle downloads of multiple files types and names from the folder above my root.
    I then found Duke Snyder's solution on an older forum for the "click link and download file" question where he suggests making a "download.cfm" page with the following code:  I did this, and named the file "download.cfm"
    <cfsetting enablecfoutputonly="yes">
    <cfheader name="Content-disposition" value="attachment; filename=""#Url.FileName#""">
    <cfcontent type = "foo/bar" file = "/Docs/#Url.FileName#">
    Then Duke suggests: "Now I pass the FileName through the Url and it WILL ask if you want to open or download the file. We accomplish this by making up an eronious file type."
    I then set up a password-protected page on the site that lists the titles of a number of documents, with links to the virtual folder, where they can be downloaded.  One of the links, which goes to "Calendar.pdf" I constructed as: "download.cfm?FileName=Calendar.pdf"  When I click on the link, I get the popup box that says "Do you want to open or save this file?  With the name listed as: "download.cfm?Filename=Calendar_pdf"
    When I click "Save", I get the message: "Internet Explorer cannot download download.cfm from www.... Internet Explorer was not able to open this Internet site.  The requested site is either unavailable or cannot be found. Please try again later.
    I must have constructed the link incorrectly. Any ideas?  Thanks in advance for your help.

    I am trying to force the download of pdf files from a folder above the root.  The file below is named "download.cfm"  I pass the name of the file (Calendar.pdf) in the URL link, as follows: download.cfm?filename=Calender.pdf
    In the ColdFusion admin panel, I mapped a folder in the root "Docs"  to point to a folder with a different name above the root.   I have tried the code below, which was generously supplied by another member of this forum, but it does not seem to recognize the CF mapping. Do I need to use another CF Tag for the mapping to working correctly?
    <cfsetting enablecfoutputonly="yes">
    <cfheader name="Content-disposition" value="attachment; filename=""#Url.FileName#""">
    <cfcontent type = "application/pdf" file = "/Docs/#Url.FileName#">
    Thanks for your help

  • Mavericks; is Apple never going to do something about its many problems? I've about had it with Mac.

    Mavericks:
    Is Apple never going to do something about Mavericks many problems? I've about had it with Mac and when today's Mavericks update appeared, I declined.
    I updated to Mavericks 6 months ago on my new Macbook Pro and have had nothing but trouble ever since -- despite numerous trips to the Genius Bar. They all act as though It's only my machine yet I'm reading literally hundreds of similar complaints on the Internet. To start:
    1) My machine now "runs" very slow (as in 1980).
    2) Search and Spotlight yield jumbled information.
    3) MAIL and CCONTACTS are near useless with a spinning beachball the norm.
    My Apple store had my machine for 5 days with no loaner! They did a manual rebuild and shrugged their sholders when it still didn't work after all that.
    I have the distinct impression that Time Machine is at the bottom of some of my problems. I've used it to migrate data from my last three machines and I'm seeing some odd stuff from my other machines. In particular, I used an exact Macbook Pro loaned by a client after my last Mac crashed (I was backed up) and I'm seeing their grayed out login ID autoentered when I try to update Imovie and so I cannot log into my apple account.
    I've used Mac since 1995 when the first SE came out and I'm very tech oriented. I can only wonder how frustrated the lay used might be. Any thoughts out there? 

    Supply information about your Mac (guessing is no use)

  • My apple tv keeps losing internet connection. I'm going from modem to airport and from airport to apple tv. I've replaced the modem and the apple tv and it still does it. Internet to my laptop via the airport wifi is fine and never drops out.

    I keep having to restart it every time I want to use it. Sometimes I have to restart it multiple times. The cord goes from the cable modem to the airport and then from the airport to the apple tv. I've replaced the apple TV and I've replaced the modem and the problem persists. I assume it has to be the aiport? But the wifi from the airport works fine.
    I tried bypassing the airport and going straight from the modem to the apple tv and it wouldn't work. That makes no sense to me.
    I had a friend over to try and figure it out and he couldn't. Any idea what could be the problem??

    The Ethernet cable from the modem should be connected to the AirPort's WAN (circle of dots) port and a second Ethernet cable should be connected between the AirPort's LAN (opposing arrows) port and the Ethernet port on the Apple TV. Is this the case?
    If so, what is the make & model of the modem that the AirPort is connected to. Also what is the exact model of both the AirPort and the Apple TV?

  • On occasion, airdisk speed slows going from AC to battery on MB

    Just putting it out there to see if anyone else has this. I've had issues with airdisk issues in leopard where video streaming would occasionally sputter. i've noticed this recently that it occurs when I unplug and run off the battery. it continues even when plugging the AC back in. this corresponds with the audible popping i hear from my 2.1 speakers (another problem on the boards). it goes away when i reboot or, sometimes, re-mount the airdisk.
    i just had a video hiccup now on battery mode, where i wasnt on AC, and when i remounted the airdisk, video is now fine. odd.
    anyone else noticing this? thanks.
    ryan

    nevermind, did it again. there goes that theory. video just sputtered again. sometimes it sputters, sometimes it flat out freezes and cant even browse the airdisk in finder.
    i have no idea what is going on here. this didnt happen in tiger, but is strange.

  • Iphone 5s going from 9% battery to 1% battery

    if my iPhone 5s battery is going from 9% and then to 1% is that something i should worry about or not?

    Battery problems normally do not appear in the Usage and Diagnostics content.  If you want, it never hurts to make an appointment and take the iPhone to your Apple store genius bar and have it tested.  That would give peace of mind if it is nothing, or give you options if there is a problem.  The techs have the tools to find out for sure if something is going on.
