Making a PKGBUILD file for EQC (A LaTeX Equation Compiler)

Hi everyone,
Just yesterday I was searching in the web for some alternative to Mathcad (a useful program to make calculations the "engineering-way"), when I found this great software developed by Jan Rheinländer, which in essence, lets you do the same as Mathcad, but using Latex (very beautiful).
So I decided to make a PKGBUILD, so other people could install it easily. The problem is, that this is my first PKGBUILD file and I have been having problems making it to work.
Here is the code I have:
# PKGBUILD for EQC: Latex Equation Compiler

build() {

msg2 "Connecting to Sourceforge server...."
svn co $_svntrunk $_eqcsrc --config-dir ./ -r '{'$_pkgver'}'
cd $_eqcsrc
./configure
make
make install
package() {
Can anyone help me a little please?
Thanks!

Hello again!
I have finally done this. It works for me, so I would like to know if it works for somebody else or if there is any dependency problem.

  • Write a PKGBUILD file for a binary software

    Hello for all ,I need write a PKGBUILD file for crate an arch-package of bmrt software .I dont understand to much the rules for write a PKGBUILD , but I imagina that is possible write a PKGBUILD file for a compiled software , I look for a document that explain in detail the reference for the sintax in the PKGBUILDS files,Any bode know that?

    You might look at some of the examples that do this already, either in AUR or ABS.
    Some examples:
    various games
    j2re
    flash-plugin
    opera
    acroread
    if you run the command 'abs' as root, you can find these PKGBUILDs in subdirectories of /var/abs.  Hopefully you could adapt one of those to your binary program.

  • How can I stop Adobe Photo down loader from making a backup file for every photo I download?

    I use Adobe Elements for post shooting photo image processing.  Everytime I sownload a day;s photography the software saves not only my original photo file but adds a back up file.  thus I am storing twice as many photographs as I alredy have the original .  How do I stop this.

    This is the Adobe Reader forum. The Photoshop Elements one is here:

  • Can I stop iWeb from making png image files for text boxes?

    I have a web page that contains one text box - the TextEdit file from which I pasted the text is 4 KB. The html file from iWeb is 12 KB. The shapeimage_2.png file is 132 KB! Is this necessary? How do I stop this. This is just text. Arial font, regular, 15 pt. The formating in the TextEdit version and the iWeb version is identical.

    Some tips from this forum for reducing the number of png files in a web site:
    1 - do not use and frames or borders, etc. around photos.
    2 - don't use any reflections.
    3 - create your own navigation bar with linked text* and turn of the iWeb Navigation bar. That's because the nav bar is all png based.
    *Put your linked text directly under the Navigation bar. Then turn off the nav bar in the Inspector window. The nav bar will disappear and the linked text will move up to the top of the page as seen in this screenshot.
    4 - use only the web safe fonts from the Font pane.
    5 - do not use drop shadow on fonts.
    6 - turn off smart quotes
    7 - if you add a jpg to a page don't resize it in iWeb as that will cause it to be converted to png. Resize it to what you need before adding to the page..
    The above will reduce the number and size of files associated with a web page quite a bit. Photos with fancy frames and reflections can generate a thumbnail png of around 110KB whereas the plain version will be a jpg of only 28KB. Although it doesn't sound like a lot, it will speed up loading of the page and be more darkside (i.e. PC) friendly.
    Run a test with a test site and publish to a folder. Then follow the hints above and publish to another folder and compare folders.

  • PKGBUILD provides for web servers

    I've noticed that the PKGBUILD file for apache doesn't use the provides array.  After that, I started wondering if anyone has used it for web servers, so:
    If one were to create a PKGBUILD for an alternative web server (http://www.mathopd.org), what should be added to the provides array to show that this package provides a web server?
    Or, if there isn't anything like that, do any of the TUs or Developers have a preference before I simply put, "web-server" in there?

    Actually, Wesley, in that case foo-data really should be fixed - provides isn't meant to be used that way, although it CAN be used that way (and I did it once for audacious, but that's beside the point
    sinecure, this has actually been talked about for webservers, however nothing was decided.  You can put 'web-server' in there, but it won't really help anything because nothing else provides web-server - what we need is a standard.  This issue actually got a bit bigger as people started talking about default locations for web files and such, and nothing was ever done (afaik)

  • Making a PDF X3 file for printing in only 1 colour (black)

    Hi,
    Sorry but it seems I need again some help.
    From InDesign CS 3 I am making (Print to Adobe PDF) a PDF file for a printing house (books and magazines).
    I need to do a PDF X3 compatible file, and among other settings it checks that indeed the file has only black, no other colors. I do this trough "Print to Adobe PDF" because while working, my text is colored so that I can more easily identify the styles in use. Then I print with the option "Composite CMYK" and "Text as Black". I also use crop marks.
    The problem is is that when checking the PDF X3 compatibility, the crop marks appear as a second color (Registered) so the file is flagged as having problems.
    What settings must I use so that the file cheks OK, that it has only black (1 colour) and can be generated by using "print to" and not "export as"?
    Thanks for the help,
    ionP

    Thank you for your suggestion, unfortunately it seems this is not the solution.
    I did print as composite gray, before that in "Preferences" I changed the settings to "Printing/Exporting: Output All Blacks as Rich Black". But when checked the conformity to PDF X3 the crop marks are showed as special color (so that I have a PDF with 2 colors).
    I also checked with an Acrobat Plug-In, "Quite Revealing", and it shows also 2 colors, Black (which is OK) and Registration (and that is not not OK). It should show only "Black", which it does if I do not put crop marks, but I need the crop marks.

  • Makepkg: Record PKGBUILD sources in .PKGINFO files for maintenance

    To me, it seems like a good idea to record all the source files listed in PKGBUILD's to their accompanying .PKGINFO files; then, should the user have configured the $SRCDEST variable in his /etc/makepkg.conf, this would allow old source files to be (optionally) automatically removed when `pacman -Sc' is run, the package is upgraded, or uninstalled.  Such a feature would save (me) a lot of time and effort manually sorting through and cleaning them.
    Do you "concur"? ( )
    Of course, for this feature to be really useful, you would have to compile from source often.

    This script will parse all the PKGBUILD's in your $ABSROOT directory, collect all their sources into an array, and interactively remove each package NOT in the array from your $SRCDEST, although recording each pkg's source files into its .PKGINFO file would be SO much easier, faster, simpler, and safer (as no unwanted code -- such as little tid bits outside the build() method of PKGBUILD's -- is executed while the sources are being collected).

    Depending on the file formats, you may not have to do any conversion.
    The following shows what the native Quicktime Player Supports:

  • Audition 5.5 - Help with .wav files for phone system - making a hold message PC & Mcc

    Hello everyone,
         I am really frustrated trying to create a .wav file for our phone system and I was hoping someone might have some suggestions as I am new to using Adobe Audition. Our phone system will only accept .wav files for our hold messages but the tricky part is that is can only be a maxiimum streaming bit rate of 64 kbps. Everything we've created under 256 kbps becomes in-audible and I'm really not sure what to do as the current messages sound fantastic. Our current hold message is 35 seconds long and we have another one we are about to do which will be 2 minutes long (uuuugh).
    - I've tried first converting the .wav file to an .mp3, lowering the bit rate to 64 kbps, then converting back to .wav but the bit rate goes up to almost 1500 kbps after re-converting.
    - I've tried making the track mono, reducing the sample rate to 22k but the size ends up being somewhere between 512 and 768. If I lower the sample rate much further and convert to 8bit, the audio sounds terrible.
    - I've also tried using Adobe Media Encoder, Audacity, Hand Brake, OS X Automator and a few other programs all with the same results.
    - I've tried re-recording the audio on a handheld .mp3 recorder hoping the initial quality would be less (originally recorded on a PC through Audition with a external mic).
    Unfortuantely, the person who used to do these conversions is no longer with the company, never documented the process and all I know is that they used to do this on a Mac. Also, the software that uplaods the files is a Linux based which is out of my area of expertise so I'm not able to tinker with it to make any headway.
    ** Any sort of suggestion would be greatly aprpeciated as I really don't know much about audio. I've been working on this for 2 weeks now and this is really driving me crazy. **

    Eugh! Converting to MP3 is absolutely not the thing to do!

    - I've tried re-recording the audio on a handheld .mp3 recorder hoping the initial quality would be less (originally recorded on a PC through Audition with a external mic).
    Okay, in reverse order: I know it sounds daft, but actually you want to start with the best recording you can possibly have. You are going to have to reduce its bit rate, but if you reduce a crap signal's bit rate, it inevitably ends up worse than reducing a good signal's one; when you think about that for a moment, it's going to make sense (I hope...).
    As for what you need to do - well it's going to have to be a mono file anyway (you haven't got a stereo telephone system), and that will immediately halve the streaming rate, but the other thing you need to bear in mind is that telephones have a limitited bandwidth, and that your sample rate, even at 22k, is going to give you more bandwidth than the system has. If you can reduce it to 8k, it will work fine. This will still give you an upper frequency limit of 4kHz, and that's more than adequate for telephone speech, believe it or not...
    The other thing, and this is where I think you may be running into trouble, is that 8 bit streaming is pretty much the norm here. All it does is to increase the noise floor, so that the signal to noise ratio is about 48dB instead of the 96dB it would be with a 16-bit signal. But, to get this to work to your advantage, you have to optimise the audio you are using in the first place. Chances are that you need to compress your recording so that it has a relatively limited dynamic range before reducing it to 8-bit, and then you'll be fine. This is better anyway for telephone systems - there's far less chance of bits of the message being missed because they're too quiet. Also, you don't want massive great peaks in the recording - these just reduce the maximum overall level for the majority of the message sound. So, you need to apply a limiter to get rid of them, leaving the majority of the speech sounding just as good, only louder. All of this you can easily do in Audition - don't need any other software at all.
    So, my guess is that the previous maker of your messages knew exactly what he was doing. Yes, he could have documented the basic steps, but he couldn't have been absolutely specific about it because no two recordings are the same. I'll attempt to explain the basic steps in English, but how well you will be able to follow this, I'm not sure...
    The basic process I'd go through with the recordings is firstly to normalize them to 0dB, then look at how far down most of the 'green' parts are - this is the bulk of the signal, and where all of the meaning is. Then, you apply a limiter to this so that those green parts don't have peaks sticking out of them. Then, if you need to, normalize again so that the green part moves to the upper part of the waveform space (towards where 0dB is). Then, if you need to, apply compression to the signal so that the level of it sounds about the same all through the message.
    Now, when you reduce your signal to mono, 8k, and 8-bit, pretty much everything about the original signal will still be there. That should stream 8-bit words at 8k, making 64k streaming for a single mono channel. This will work fine, but only if you optimise the signal first - otherwise no chance!

  • Gtksourceview lang-file for PKGBUILDs

    Hi,
    Does anybody know if there already exists a gtksourceview lang file for PKGBUILD syntax highlighting?
    It would be nice to have PKGBUILD highlighting in gedit.

    Localization on Skype for Linux is fairly easy as it's a Qt application and you can use Qt Linguist to translate the accompanying .ts file.
    Translating a MacOS application is way more complex, but alos much more powerful because of the way application layouts are designed on that platform. The advantage is that a localized app can have a different UI layout. You can use software like iLocalize to translate the Skype app, but it's not that easy to exchange the finished localizations.

    My problem is I want to make changes into original application file in new version of DIR and want to save. But I am unable to do so. It is not allowing me to change the original application file for new version which is desired for storing some ISO documents.
    Is there any settings which I am missing?
    Waiting for reply ASAP.
    Thanks and Regards,
    Niraj Sikligar

    Hi
    If you want to make changes in the "Release" Status, go to dc10, select Doc type and define status screen. Do not put "S" (Lock mode) for Status - Release
    Also please check in new version , you are clicking on Edit symbol in Orginals tab, if u double click the file, it would open always in display mode , and it wont allow you to make any changes
    Regards

  • Making mp3s instead of m4a files for your own hard drive?

    I taped some guys where I work playing some bagpipes. I created an aiff file from FCP to my hard drive. I was trying to figure out how to create an mp3 file from the aiff file. I was able to create an m4a file, but I still have not figured out how to create an mp3 file for the pc'ers to be able to play it on their computer.
    Thanks for any help

    In iTunes, go to Preferences > Advanced > Importing. Change the "Import Using": tab fom "AAC Encoder" to "mp3 Encoder".

  • Where can I Obtain the PKGBUILD and fglrx.install files for my 64bit

    I am frustrated with my HD3870 vid card on my 64 bit Arch so I am actually looking for instructions on how to remove all of the Vidcard drivers and build and install fresh drivers. I read http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ATI but the link for pfgbuild http://www.archlinux.org/packages/12877/ gives me this 404 - Page Not Found
    Sorry, the page you've requested does not exist.
    and after reading allot of posts on the forums here and through google I am starting to believe that the Majority of Video cards are older and most people are using 32bit which is why I need to find out how /where I can find the proper drivers to build or install
