How to compile for arch on Ubuntu without root?

Maybe this is not the right section, but since it is about compiling...
I have access to a rather powerful server, so I thought I could maybe compile some AUR packages like kernel-rc there. Unfortunately it runs ubuntu so gcc is still 4.4 and all the base libs don't match.
I thought about installing a minimal arch system in a chroot but you need root to chroot...
My next thought was crosscompiling gcc for ubuntu set up to crosscompile for arch... Doesn't sound fun to set up.
Any other ideas?

*edit: rephrasing*
Do you have (or can you get) permission to run a virtual machine on the server? I compile packages for i686 on x86_64 using a minimal (i686) Arch system in KVM and it works well. I find it to be very clean and easy to manage.

How to use SAX Parseto paser xml without root element

Hello,
I have big a xml file(500M) with without root element. How can I use SAXParse to parse it.

A well-formed XML file has a single root element. Your parser can't deal with any other kind. So find the person who produced that file and explain politely that it's no good. (Hitting them with a big stick would be optional.)
You could write a non-XML program that reads it in and creates a new version, wrapped in a single root element, if your supplier can't fix their problem.

How to compile SubVersioN 1.7.20 without error?

Hi,
I'm using development tools that only support SVN 1.7 format (e.g. PHPStorm so SVNKit 1.7) so I need to compile and install SVN 1.7. What I need precisely is the Gnome Keyring support (be able to store and use usernames/passwords that are managed by Gnome Keyring).
I'm trying to use the dedicated AUR package with a few modifications to make it work (it's currently broken) but I get stuck at compilation if I leave the main options (I've removed Perl support):

Has anyone succeeded in getting a working SVN 1.7 on an up-to-date Arch?
Thanks in advance

I've just tested the build from CollabNet (SVN 1.7.19) an it crashes at the very same moment, which makes me think that the issue might not be with SVN but with a third-party library.
Below are the last lines when I run the command with strace (authentication to svn://myhost/myrepo is of course stored in Gnome-Keyring):

How to wait for events to happen without using sleeps.

hi,
I am basically doing Thread.sleep() for waiting the events to complete.
For example, when i click on query button, it takes sometime to process in the background & then populate the data in my table.
So i am using the sleep method for this event to finish.
I feel this is not the correct approach, can anyone suggest just me a way to wait for the event to finish without actually using sleep method.
Thanks & Regards,
Vishal

Hi,
Firstly thanks for your valuable suggestion. But i would like to mention one thing, actually i am using JFCunit framework for doing Unit Testing for our Swing based client. So here i am not looking into Swing code that is being developed but rather i am concentrating on writing unit tests to whatever that is been developed.
So when i click on the query button automatically, it is taking sometime to process (few seconds) & then its populating the data in a table. So in this case if i have to use the progress bar for the event to finish, i guess i have to modify the source code which is not advisable when you are doing unit testing. So i would appreciate if there is any other alternative that you could suggest me apart from using the progress bar.
Thanks & Regards,
Vishal

How can I get arch-chroot to source /root/.profile [solved]

I really like the arch-chroot script. When I come into the chroot using the script, I see that the shell is /bin/sh instead of bash. That is ok. How can I get the root user inside the chroot to source /root/.profile automatically? I have a line in there that will
exec /usr/bin/bash
. Thank you.

How to install from existing linux without root privilege?

We have a ubuntu server for develop in our company and I have a account. I am more familiar with archlinux. However, I can't just tell the system administrator to replace ubuntu with arch, since that would break everything. And I do not have root privilege. So I am wondering would it possible to install archlinux in the home directory, and use it like a virtual machine?

DSpider wrote:
Pacman needs root privileges (sudo) to work.
So if sudo works for you, then you have root privileges.
Maybe fakeroot or fakechroot?
Trilby wrote:
Ubuntu + pacman != arch.
If you are able/allowed to reboot the machine, you certainly can install arch on a flash drive and have your portable system that you would run on their hardware.
I am asking something different. I want to run arch on another linux.
ewaller wrote:
So, as a user on the system, you should be able to install anything you want to your home directory.
What, specifically, would you like to install to your home directory that you can run with plain user permissions without causing impact to other users. I am confused as to what you think you want to do..
Something like, install software (including pacman) to home directory via pacman. Start a server by rc.d (I think in this case, sys-V is better than systemd).
For example, I could run this command in ubuntu without root permission, and that ubuntu server didn't install mysql.
$ pacman -S mysql
$ rc.d start mysqld
$ #Or "systemstl start mysqld.service"

Compiling for old versions

i have the jdk5 (1.5.0.. whatever) and it wont run on a 1.4.2 RE, is there any way i can compile for an old version without just having 1.4.2 on a different machine and compiling on there (or having a lot of versions of it on this machine)

The -source option of javac lets you specify the version of source code accepted. And using the -target option will generate class files that will work on VMs with the specified version.
Check documentation for details:

Ubuntu "*-dev" package equivalent for Arch?

I'm just trying Arch for the first time, migrating from Ubuntu. I'm trying to set up as equivalent a system as I can, software-wise, from a list I kept of of key packages I installed on Ubuntu.
One thing Ubuntu does (for those unfamiliar with it) is the developers create a package with the compiled/configured binary, and sometimes they also create a development package to be used by other applications that rely on the original package. Ie, you might have "libgtk2.0" and "libgtk2.0-dev", which you usually install separately.
What's the equivalent of the Ubuntu "*-dev" packages on Arch?

Ubuntu devs separate them because that's how Debian does it, and it would be a waste of time to reintegrate them again, and it would be messy to not do it for the packages they build themselves but keep the split out headers for the packages they inherit from Debian.
Debian splits them up for the reason you said though . Without Debian, Ubuntu wouldn't be where it is today. People tend to forget that.

Hi,
You don't have to worry about compliation. XI will automatically comple it when you create the udf, activate it and test your mapping. In case of any error it will give compliation error there itself.
Regarding all the mandatory jar files which are required for compilation is already available in XI server.
If you are using any third party libraries(jar files) you just need to add the jar file in your external definition and need to import the necessary packages in User Define Function. I hope it answers all your questions.

Ubuntu look-alike gnome theme for arch linux

Is there any theme/gnome package(s) for arch linux that will give me gnome that looks kind of like the gnome package for ubuntu? I'm moving over from ubuntu to arch, and I'm hoping to ease the transition at first while I get used to the rest of the system. Thanks!
EDIT: Actually, how configurable is xfce? I've used gnome and kde for arch a bit, but they're just so vanilla, and I'm still looking for a relatively nice graphical interface on top of cli. Thanks!

xfce4 is just about as configurable as GNOME at the level of gconf/ xfconf and way more configurable via the settings GUI.

How to make the java files compile for a project created outside of Eclipse

Hi^^,
I have created a project outside of Eclipse. It has the following folders
1. config
2. source
3. WEB-INF
I want to execute the project on remote server. Will it compile automatically creating a new folder for .class files corresponding to the source folder or do i need to include a build.xml to enable the project to create a new folder for .class files. Also pls tell me how do I write this build.xml
Please advise.

Hi^^,
Actually I have created a project without using eclipse.
My source files are inside WEB-INF/source
Now I want to compile the files using build.xml so that I can create class files. I am using the following build.xml
<project name="jsp" default="all" basedir="./">
<property environment="env"/>
<property file="ArmorJSP.properties"/>

<property name="source" value="."/>
<target name="all" depends="copy, jspc, testservlet"/>

<target name="jspc">
    
    <java classname="weblogic.jspc" fork="yes">
      <arg line="-webapp ${APPLICATION_HOME} -compileAll -d ${APPLICATION_WEB_CLASSES} ${source}/*.jsp"/>
      <classpath>
        <pathelement path="${WL_HOME}/lib/weblogic_sp.jar;${WL_HOME}/lib/weblogic.jar;${ARMOR_HOME}/ARMORSecurity.jar;${ARMOR_HOME}/ARMORUtil.jar"/>
      </classpath>
    </java>
</target>

<target name="testservlet">
    
    <javac destdir="${APPLICATION_WEB_CLASSES}" srcdir="${source}" includes="*.java">
      <classpath>
        <pathelement path="${WL_HOME}/lib/weblogic_sp.jar;${WL_HOME}/lib/weblogic.jar;${ARMOR_HOME}/ARMORSecurity.jar;${ARMOR_HOME}/ARMORUtil.jar"/>
      </classpath>
    </javac>
</target>
<target name="copy">
    <copy todir="${APPLICATION_HOME}">
      <fileset dir="${source}">
        <include name="*.jsp"/>
      </fileset>
    </copy>
</target>
</project>I do not know how to compile the project using this build.xml
The motive of doing all this is to understand how is Eclipse doing the build project step. I simply cannot find any build.xml inside any of my projects created in Eclipse however when right click on the project and choose build project, it compiles excellently. ???

How to compile a kernel module without recompiling the whole kernel?

Hi,
I'm pretty sure my question is a bit newbish, still I haven't been able to found any information/solution to my problem in 3days.
The kernel I use doesn't come with the module I need for my hardware and I would like to know if there's a way to compile it without having to make a new kernel myself (since compiling the kernel takes ages on my machine).
Even if your answer is a "Let me Google that for you", I'm so desperate that I'll be happy to see it.
Thank you all in advance for your answers!

Do you have a /proc/config.gz that you could use? Otherwise I don't know. I mean, many modules should be compilable simply with the system-installed kernel headers, but not all native modules might follow that rule.
Unfortunatel most of what you find on the web talks about how to create new modules which can be compild against the installed kernel tree, not about how to compile one of the native kernel modules against it.
Actually, try what those links suggest.
Skip the configuration part, and just do:
make -C /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build M=$(PWD)/drivers/video modules
(maybe `make -C /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build M=$(PWD)/drivers/video clean` first )
EDIT: Meh, that uses your config and won't build that driver... there must be some way though
EDIT2: Try:
make -C /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build M=$(PWD)/drivers/video modules CONFIG_FB_VT8623=m CONFIG_FB_SVGALIB=m
The problem though is, that they might have removed some of the dependencies of the module, so if it doesn't compile, you'll have to recompile the kernel.
Good thing is though, you can use their .config as base (found in /usr/src/linux-..../.config)
You can also check if your config "supports" your module by putting it into the kernel source tree, running `make menuconfig` and typing /8623 and pressing enter.
The last line in that screen should read:
Selects: <list of options>
As long as all of those options are either =y or =m, you're good. SVGALIB can be =n because it's part of drivers/video/ and you can compile it together with your module.
