Pkgbuild for vmware on kernel 2.6.1? [FXx]

had try intsall vmware on kernel 2.4.24 and 2.6.1 (have read all articles in this forums), but all failed!
could you provide a pkgbuild for vmware? for kernel 2.6

i don'T think that there will ever be a PKGBUILD for VMWare, because it's commercial software... but i posted alot of hints in the "Package Configuration Problems" Forum...
http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php? … highlight=
nearly each posible problem is described there... if u still have problems, post ur errors and anything u got about it there, and i try to help u.....

Updated PKGBUILD for vmware-server-modules 2.0.2

Hi.
I have updated the PKGBUILD for the vmware-server-modules and added patches for kernel 2.6.35 and 2.6.36.
The package is currently marked as an orphan, so I'll have to adopt it do upload the changes, right?
Could someone please take a look at this, and say if it is good enough.
I haven't really made any changes other than adding patches for kernel 2.6.35 and 2.6.36, but since there are some 'not so positive comments' following this package in AUR maybe there is more that should be done?
It works on my x86_64 2.6.36-arch install.

PKGBUILD for custom kernel issue

Hi all,
Last night I was putting together a PKGBUILD for a kernel I'd like to compile that has the ck patchset, grsecurity (latest testing), and had broadcom-wl on it already so I don't have to keep reinstalling it from AUR and doing depmod each time as it keeps making me have to find an ethernet cable. I used the kerne26 Arch PKGBUILD as a base and included parts of kernel-netbook for broadcom-wl, kernel26-grsecurity, and kernel26-ck and altered name variables and links etc so it all works and all sources are downloaded. I also got the two .patch files (semaphore and something else) from the kernel-netbook tarball to build the thing with, I don't know if it would work without them.
However when I get into the build() a few patches are applied before I get messages about patches already applied or reversed, and then it says build failed because of an error, I can't tell which package is causing thins or why (it all goes by too fast, and the error says failed without reason, and the reversed patch messages are what is immediately previous to it). I have not yet gone all the way through the pkgbuild - especially towards the end, and I felt that the standard setup of init file system creation and such were ok, and if anything does need altering about it, I can deal with it once I get these first troubles solved.
Below is my pkgbuild so far. Hopefully there are people out there who can aid me with this.
Thanks,
Ben.

Thank you. I guess trying the abs method wouldn't hurt. My main issue was configuration. I've only just skimmed the PKGBUILD so I'm not aware of how it handles it. I suppose I could write my own as described in the wiki as well. Thanks again.
Edit: Further research has revealed to me that the kernel headers are merely there for when the full source tree isn't. Seeing as the full tree is present in my case, the headers are unnecessary. I may take graysky's advice though and use pacman to manage my kernel.

Finding a PKGBUILD for the 2.6.21.4 kernel (for Asus EEE )

I'm trying to build a kernel that will support the Asus Eee's non-source drivers out of the box without ndiswrapper. I also would like to install the whole thing using my pacman. Is there any way to get a complete PKGBUILD for this kernel? If possible, I'd also like to get the associated patches, etc if possible.
I'm basing my hack on some things listed here:
http://cliffhacks.blogspot.com
I played with the CVS for awhile, but couldn't find a way to get the kernel 2.6.21.4 PKGBUILD, and I'm not sure if CVS would even do this.
After this, I'll have to compare the PKGBUILD with the config that Asus used on their kernel. We'll see how it goes. Thanks for any help or tips.

Normally PKGBUILDS for kernels are not provided in arch.
However, one has been inserted into the aur mix by raymano and it is for kernel 2.6.23.9-1.
What are you talking about - I thought the PKGBUILDs were publicly available. Atleast I can see them - and you could certainly create your own although with a little difficulty for such an early kernel - but It should be possible

[solved] new abs PKGBUILD for package kernel26...old kernel?

I was looking into the new PKGBUILD in the /var/abs/core/kernel26 folder, as I wanted to update my custom kernel. I was editing the new PKGBUILD when I saw something weird...references to kernel.org files and archlinux.org patch seems to be same as the 2.6.37 version. Is _basekernel value not updated? Am I wrong?
Take a look:
new PKGBUILD (I copied only relevant lines):
_basekernel=2.6.37
pkgver=${_basekernel}
pkgrel=6
_patchname="patch-${pkgver}-4-ARCH"
source=(ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-$_basekernel.tar.bz2
ftp://ftp.archlinux.org/other/kernel26/${_patchname}.bz2
now...these is exactly the same as PKGBUILD for 2.6.37. But the new files are:
ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-2.6.37.1.tar.bz2
ftp://ftp.archlinux.org/other/kernel26/patch-2.6.37.1-1-ARCH.bz2
If I am right, someone has to update variable values...
TIA

well...I had time to check so...this is the content for the PKGBUILD after I run abs yesterday (pasted only relevant lines):
# $Id: PKGBUILD 109724 2011-02-12 08:01:06Z tpowa $
pkgbase="kernel26"
pkgname=('kernel26' 'kernel26-headers' 'kernel26-docs') # Build stock -ARCH kernel
_kernelname=${pkgname#kernel26}
_basekernel=2.6.37
pkgver=${_basekernel}
pkgrel=6
_patchname="patch-${pkgver}-4-ARCH"
this is the one I run tonight...looks updated now
# $Id: PKGBUILD 110322 2011-02-18 20:13:49Z tpowa $
pkgbase="kernel26"
pkgname=('kernel26' 'kernel26-headers' 'kernel26-docs') # Build stock -ARCH kernel
_kernelname=${pkgname#kernel26}
_basekernel=2.6.37
pkgver=${_basekernel}.1
pkgrel=1
_patchname="patch-${pkgver}-${pkgrel}-ARCH"
now patch filename and kernel sources correctly resolve to the latest ones.
but believe me, right after I had the 2.6.37.1-arch kernel, the abs PKGBUILD was outdated...probably it is updated after kernel package is released. doesn't matter
all in all...now it's ok

[Solved] Can not build modules for VMware Player after kernel updates

I have a problem generating the modules for VMware Player after kernel updates. I am using VMware Player version 5.02 (without patches) and the softlink according to the Wiki.
When I start the installation of the modules from the GUI, the program just closes. Running vmware-modconfig in the CLI generates the following log file:

Interestingly, after deinstallation and reinstallation the VMWare Player works fine.
Any hint, what's going wrong?

Today, (Kernel 3.10.5-1, VMware Player version 5.02 with kernel patches) the modules could successful be generated from the CLI:
vmware-modconfig --console --install-all
Solved (somehow).

Help with PKGBUILD for nvidia driver cards

Hello, I'm trying to make a PKGBUILD for the new geforce beta driver for the kernel26-mm kernel, geforce-utils went just fine, but the the geforce package was more tricky, here's the PKGBUILD:
pkgname=geforce-mm

_kernver='2.6.25-mm'
pkgrel=1

Anybody have a clue?

It seems I was wrong! I found a patch on the nvidia forums which actually makes it works
I don't know if it will work for you, or how safe it is, but I guess it is worth a shot.

New PKGBUILDs for calpp and cpyrit-calpp

Hello
I wanted to try the calpp backend for pyrit (a WPA cracking utility), but couldn't find them in either the official repositiories or in AUR. There for I have created new PKGBUILDs for these, they work on my system (x86_64 3.1.0-4-ARCH), but as these are my first ones I wanted to post them here for review before I upload them to AUR.
The main thing I have doubts about are the dependencies. I think I have listed them all but I'm not sure.
Here is the PKGBUILD for calpp:
# Maintainer: Martin R. <mr-ger [at] hotmail [dot] com>
pkgname=calpp
pkgver=0.90
pkgrel=2
pkgdesc="Library to allow writing ATI CAL kernels in C++"
arch=('i686' 'x86_64')
url="http://sourceforge.net/projects/calpp/"
license=('GPL3')
depends=('amdstream' 'boost')
makedepends=('cmake')
source=("http://sourceforge.net/projects/calpp/files/$pkgname-$pkgver/$pkgname-$pkgver.tar.gz")
md5sums=('efc3f519492ac8d3178fe42115ce3637')
_streamdir='/opt/amdstream'
build() {
cd "$srcdir/$pkgname-$pkgver"
sed -i "s|\$ENV{ATISTREAMSDKROOT}/lib|${_streamdir}/lib|g" CMakeLists.txt
sed -i "s|\$ENV{ATISTREAMSDKROOT}/include|/${_streamdir}/include/CAL|" CMakeLists.txt
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr .
make
package() {
cd "$srcdir/$pkgname-$pkgver"
make DESTDIR="$pkgdir/" install
And here is the PKGBUILD for cpyrit-calpp:
# Maintainer: Martin R. <mr-ger [at] hotmail [dot] com>
pkgname=cpyrit-calpp-svn
pkgver=308
pkgrel=3
pkgdesc="CAL++ backend for accelerated attack against WPA-PSK authentication, development version"
url="http://code.google.com/p/pyrit/"
license=('GPL3')
arch=('i686' 'x86_64')
depends=('python2' 'catalyst-utils' 'pyrit-svn')
makedepends=('calpp')
conflicts=('cpyrit-opencl-svn')
_svntrunk='http://pyrit.googlecode.com/svn/trunk'
_svnmod='cpyrit_calpp'
_caldir='/usr/include/CAL/'
build() {
svn co "${_svntrunk}/${_svnmod}"
cd "${_svnmod}"
sed -i "s|VERSION = '0.4.0-dev'|VERSION = '0.4.1-dev'|" setup.py
sed -i "s|CALPP_INC_DIRS = \[\]|CALPP_INC_DIRS = \[\'${_caldir}\'\]|" setup.py
LDFLAGS="" python2 setup.py build
package() {
cd "${srcdir}/${_svnmod}"
python2 setup.py install --root="${pkgdir}" --optimize=1
Thanks in advance
EDIT = Updated the PKGBUILDs
Last edited by ozon-eatar (2011-11-30 22:15:56)

Thanks for the respones Stebalien! I have changed the things you pointed out and updated my first post.
I have also run namcap on both packages and their PKGBUILDs. The only thing namcap complains about on the PKGBUILDs are the lack of contributer tag, which I think is unnecessary as I'm listed as the maintainer.
On the cpyrit-calpp package namcap complains about unnecessary dependencies:
cpyrit-calpp-svn I: Depends as namcap sees them: depends=(catalyst-utils python2)
I tried this dep array with all packages listed before uninstalled (well, catalyst and libpcap I couldn't uninstall) and it didn't work. When I added 'calpp' to makedepends it worked, and it ran after I uninstalled calpp again.
As cpyrit-calpp-svn is a backend to the pyrit-svn package and pointless to install without pyrit-svn I added it back to the array. Might add that this is how the dep array looked before:
depends=('python2' 'openssl' 'zlib' 'libpcap' 'amdstream' 'catalyst' 'calpp' 'pyrit-svn')
This is what namcap is telling me about calpp:
calpp I: Depends as namcap sees them: depends=()
BUT it will neither build nor will it compile one of the examples without both amdstream and boost (not just boost-libs). Therefore I have not changed the dep array for calpp.

What about depends=[lib32] in PKGBUILD for both arch32 &

Example with qemu PKGBUILD
For arch 32 it depends on sdl, alsa-lib & zlib
For arch64 this is sdl, alsa-lib & lib32-zlib
Is it okay to use default depends=('sdl' 'alsa-lib' 'zlib') when building on/for arch64, or should one replace 'zlib' --> 'lib32-zlib' ?

'cause it uses a kernel I do not have (kernel-2.6.19 / 2.6.18 for example).
That's when I noticed the "depends=('zlib'). Then namcap complained about missing dependency lib32-zlib
I'm just wondering how such differences (on depends as well as provides or conflict) between 32 & 64 might have some effect sooner or later, especially when using makepkg.

Help to create a pkgbuild for harpia

hi i want to create a pkgbuild for the harpia program http://s2i.das.ufsc.br/harpia/en/home.html
searching in the aur and in the net i couldn't find something
harpia exist for ubuntu and the .deb file is hosted here http://packages.ubuntu.com/oneiric/all/harpia
can someone help me create a working pkgbuild for arch through the .deb file
i tried to create a first approach by creating the following PKGBUILD:
pkgname=harpia
pkgver=1.1
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="Image Processing/Computer Vision Automatic Prgm. Tool"
arch=('any')
url="http://s2i.das.ufsc.br/harpia/en/home.html"
license=('GPL2')
depends=('')
source=("http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/h/harpia/${pkgname}_${pkgver}-0ubuntu1.1_all.deb")
md5sums=('56c6cb146ea5652e41b77506ad8ec263')
build() {
bsdtar -C "$pkgdir" -xvf data.tar.gz
however when i am running the program i am taking the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/harpia", line 32, in <module>
from harpia import harpiagcfrontend
ImportError: No module named harpia
i guess that the problem might have to do with some dependencies or with the python library, can you provide me with some tips
thanks

Well, I'm not going to tell you every little thing .
I found a likely candidate for python-gnome2 in pacman using a judicious choice of search terms. As for the rest, I suggest you go to the Debian or Ubuntu package lists. The Debian ones are easy to find in Google. These lists contain lots of information about what packages contain and what they provide and where the source code is from.
Do some detective work, you will figure it out.

Can anyone make a PKGBUILD for Novel iFolder and Novel consoleone ?

Like in subject. I tried install it from Novel homepage, but i have problem with make dependiences and this two package, can anyone make good PKGBUILD for new version ? In AUR i found PKGBUILD's but the mirror doesn't work and i can't find another mirror. Thanks Igor. Have a nice day !

Yes, but i saw many rpm package, and source code. If you talk about license there is oportunity to get free license for 30 or 60 day's. Thanx for respone.

Trying to modify Vultureseye PKGBUILD for Vulturesclaw

Ok I've got the PKGBUILD for Vultureseye now I've modified it, now I confess the work is not mine. But I presumed by changing references to nethack to slashem and vultureseye to vulturesclaw, this would work as the PKGBUILD is getting both.
But it seems I'm missing something could someone please point me in the right direction as I'm really not sure what is going on.

This seems to be bailing out on the 1st or second sed the error I'm getting is
sed: can't read vulturesclaw: No such file or directory
I have to admit the few package builds I've done have been a lot simpler in comparison so I suspect the error is between the chair and the keyboard.

The error is probably from the last sed command :
sed 's|HACKDIR=/.*/pkg/usr/share/vulturesclaw|HACKDIR=/usr/share/vulturesclaw|' -i vulturesclaw
For vultureseye the file that starts the program is called vultureseye , vulturesclaw/slashem may use a different start script.
Check the files in pkg/usr/bin to find the correct name for the start script.
Sidenote :
this line in my vultureseye PKGBUILD is incorrect :
mkdir -p $startdir/pkg/usr/share/licenses/custom/$pkgname
it should be mkdir -p $startdir/pkg/usr/share/licenses/$pkgname

ABS PKGBUILD for openoffice-base fails

The PKGBUILD for openoffice-base from the ABS tree is failing on my x86_64 system. The compilation finishes successfully, but I start getting errors beginning at the "# install binaries" stage. Here's the first part of the errors that I get. ((NOTE: I've replaced my username in the paths with 'userdir', for paranoia's sake ))
cp: cannot stat `instsetoo_native/unxlngx6.pro/OpenOffice/native/install/en-US/linux-2.6-x86_64/buildroot/*': No such file or directory

The PKGBUILD then moves through the "# install icons" step without problems. After that, the next round of errors begin:

Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?
The text leading up to this was:

The PKGBUILD stops at this point. I have to Ctrl^C out of it.
When I look in the directories, I see that instsetoo_native/unxlngx6.pro/OpenOffice/native/install/en-US/linux-2.6-x86_64/buildroot/ does not exist. Instead, that path ends at instsetoo_native/unxlngx6.pro/OpenOffice/native/install/en-US/linux-2.6-x86_64/ , where I find a set of 25 openoffice.org-*.deb files. Removing the 'buildroot' part of the path might fix part of the problem, but I'm guessing something else may be going on here besides that.
Any ideas?

Solaris 10 virtual machine for VMware

I've tried the "Solaris 10 OS, AMD x64 Platform - Solaris Enterprise System Virtual Machine for VMware (Solaris 10 11/06) 3.0". I've d/l the virtual appliance for vmware one can find from there : http://developers.sun.com/solaris/downloads/solaris_apps/index.jsp#vmware
I encountered 2 problems :
The first was the network (netcard) wasn't recognised at all. It's strange because the settings should be the same for every vmware virtual machines. It may be because I'm running the latest version from vmware (10.0.2). The default option was NAT, and I tried the others as well. All other systems I'm using with vmware are working correctly, including the opensolaris "Nexenta".
The second one was with the screen resolution, it was excessively huge, around 2800 x 2000. I couldn't change it in the gnome desktop (the option had no effect). I managed to change it by altering the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file. The same was for the keyboard settings, I couldn't switch to azerty (french) keyboard. I had to change it in xorg.conf file.

im new to vmware too, but just wan to share my experience with you.
5.5.1 vmware workstation with vmtool installed.
- my NIC still define as pcn0, encountered packet drop network issue
- dtlogin doesn't work properly with my screen resulation, mouse work fine without pressing ctrl+alt key to get out from vmware
6.0 vmware workstation with vmtool installed.
- no more packet drop issue, especially when i ssh from pc to vmware.
- gdm fit to screen, GUI work fine.
- my shared folder working now, mount as /hgfs.

Hdf4 and pyhdf AUR PKGBUILDS for review

pyhdf is a Python interface to the HDF4 library. HDF4 is a scientific data file format. pyhdf links to the static libs built by the HDF4 package. I decided to split HDF4 out into its own package because someone else might want to link to these libraries, or use the numerous HDF4 utilities that accompany them. There is an hdf5 package in the AUR already, but hdf5 coexists with hdf4, rather than replacing it.
Here is the HDF4 PKGBUILD:
# Contributor: David Scholl <djscholl>
pkgname=hdf4
pkgver=2r1
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="General purpose library and file format for storing scientific data."
url="http://hdf.ncsa.uiuc.edu/hdf4.html"
license="custom"
depends=('zlib' 'libjpeg')
makedepends=(gcc-fortran)
source=(ftp://ftp.ncsa.uiuc.edu/HDF/HDF/HDF_Current/src/HDF4.$pkgver.tar.gz ftp://ftp.ncsa.uiuc.edu/HDF/HDF/HDF_Current/src/patches/configure)
md5sums=('9082c6fa913b9188452fa6c5217e1573' '845b0e1a20c0a969fca386b8830236ed')
build() {
cp ./configure $startdir/src/HDF4.$pkgver
cd $startdir/src/HDF4.$pkgver
./configure --prefix=/usr F77=gfortran FFLAGS=-ffixed-line-length-0
make || return 1
make prefix=$startdir/pkg/usr install
mkdir -p $startdir/pkg/usr/share/licenses/hdf4
cp $startdir/src/HDF4.$pkgver/COPYING $startdir/pkg/usr/share/licenses/hdf4
HDF4 was originally built with commercial Fortran 77 compilers, although g77 worked too. Since g77 is gone, I built it with gfortran. I encountered a couple of issues with the "make check" command, which compiles and runs tests of the libraries and utilities. The main package builds without errors using plain gfortran. However, the test code contains lines longer than 72 characters, so I had to add the FFLAGS=-ffixed-line-length-0 option to the configure script to be able to build the tests. When I manually do
cd $startdir/src/HDF4.$pkgver
make check || return 1
all of the tests are built and passed without errors. However, when I put these two lines into the build script, the tests fail as follows:
============================
HDF-SD C interfaces tests
============================
srcdir="." ./hdftest > hdfout.new
make[2]: *** [check] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/dscholl/abs/hdf4check/src/HDF4.2r1/mfhdf/libsrc'
make[1]: *** [check-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/dscholl/abs/hdf4check/src/HDF4.2r1/mfhdf'
make: *** [check-recursive] Error 1
==> ERROR: Build Failed. Aborting...
I would like to include the tests in the build, because it's bad when your data gets mangled. However, I don't know how to get the tests to run in the build script. If anyone has any suggestions I would appreciate them.
HDF4 is released under a license which resembles other Open Source licenses I have read, so I treated it as a custom license. The HDF4 package can be built with an optional compression library called szip, which is not an Open Source product. szip is available under non-commercial and commercial licenses, but prospective commercial users must contact the licensing agent. The AUR doesn't have a way to make that clear to prospective users, so I left out szip.
Here is the PKGBUILD for pyhdf:
# Contributor: David Scholl <djscholl>
pkgname=pyhdf
pkgver=0.7.3
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="Python bindings for the HDF library."
url="http://pysclint.sourceforge.net/pyhdf/"
license="Python"
depends=('python' 'python-numeric' 'zlib' 'libjpeg')
makedepends=(hdf4)
source=(http://dl.sourceforge.net/pysclint/$pkgname-0.7-3.tar.gz)
md5sums=('f55aa19e61cf6501f436e27783098000')
build() {
cd $startdir/src/$pkgname-0.7-3
sed -i '/#extra_compile_args=["-DNOSZIP"],/s/#//' setup.py
sed -i '/libraries = ["mfhdf", "df", "jpeg", "z", "sz"]/s/libraries/#libraries/' setup.py
sed -i '/#libraries = ["mfhdf", "df", "jpeg", "z"]/s/#//' setup.py
python setup.py install --root=$startdir/pkg
pyhdf assumes the availability of szip by default, so its setup.py must be hacked to build it without szip. I do this with three sed commands, following the instructions in the INSTALL file and the comments in the setup.py. The sourceforge page for pyhdf describes it as being released under the Python license, but there is no copyright file included with the source distribution, nor did I find one on the project website.
If anyone has corrections or improvements to suggest, please post.

I have done some further digging into the "make check" issue, but I don't know enough to solve it. I'm hoping someone will be able to figure out a patch or work-around that I can use.
The error message announces leaving the src/HDF4.2r1/mfhdf/libsrc directory. We can find the first part of the error message in the Makefile:
less -N src/HDF4.2r1/mfhdf/libsrc/Makefile
729 check:
730 @echo "============================"
731 @echo "HDF-SD C interfaces tests"
732 @echo "============================"
733 srcdir="$(srcdir)" ./hdftest > hdfout.new
734 @cmd="$(DIFF) hdfout.new $(srcdir)/hdfout.sav";
It appears to me that line 733 bombs when "make check" is run from the build script, and the diff command in 734 doesn't get a chance to run.
The hdfout.new from the build script "make check" ends in
*** UNEXPECTED VALUE from second SDstart is 393216 at line 61 in tsd.c
num_err == 1
The file src/HDF4.2r1/mfhdf/libsrc/hdfout.sav ends in
num_err == 0
less -N src/HDF4.2r1/mfhdf/libsrc/tsd.c
24 #define FILE_NAME "sdtest.hdf" /* data file to test ID types */
59 /* Create a protected file */
60 fid = SDstart(FILE_NAME, DFACC_CREATE);
61 VERIFY(fid, FAIL, "second SDstart");
Running "make check" manually:
$ ls -l sdtest.hdf
--w------- 1 dscholl dscholl 2503 2006-08-13 09:45 sdtest.hdf
Running "make check" from within the build script:
$ ls -l sdtest.hdf
-rw------- 1 dscholl dscholl 2502 2006-08-13 09:48 sdtest.hdf
I'm not a C programmer, but it appears to me that the hdftest binary is trying to create a read-protected --w------- file, and actually creating a -rw------- file. When it tries to read it, it generates an error message and the Makefile stops running. What is different about the build script environment that would cause this difference in file creation?
