[SOLVED} How to install from source

Hi,
I'm trying to install Wittfella's qtfm from source and I have no idea how to do it. Previously I've used ./configure and make install.
What is the install process for Arch?

This http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AUR_Helpers
If you look into PKGBUILDs you see the good old './configure && make install' but by using pacman you don't have to worry about dependencies and if you remove the installed app, it gets removed all the way, no garbage left behind.

[SOLVED] How to install from AUR?

Ok, I know I'm posting too many questions too fast but I'm at the last step in configuring my videocard driver to install X and I'm stranded in the middle of nowhere, sorry for too much posting.
I need to install a package from AUR but even I read the guide (http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AUR_User_Guidelines) I can't make it clear enough on how to do it so please correct me if there's anything wrong.
a. first of all, I need to download and install wget because I'm at CLI ready to configure X but I need the latest test drivers that fully support my videocard.
b. mkdir ~/myuser/build && cd ~/myuser/build
c. I need to download from here (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=34773) the Tarball, PKGBUILD and all the files listed in "Files", right?
d. Once I have files downloaded all I need to do is follow the instructions in the wiki,
1. Acquire a PKGBUILD and any other required files (e.g. patches)
2. Run makepkg in the directory where the files are saved
3. Install the resulting package with pacman
Thanks for any advice!

guys,
did you ever saw that Heineken TV Ad where a woman shows her dresser-room to her fellow friends and they start screaming like (women does) crazy, and while they still screaming a lot they start to hear a somewhat identical scream from other part of the house that in fact shows up as the boyfriend/husband of the first lady showing his buddys his special fridge-room filled with green bottles?
Well, that was my *exact* impression yesterday after having KDE4 up and running with composite turned on faster than any Fluxbox system on a iCore 7, and that's the top part of the iceberg.
I think the best thing I like about Arch it's it's simplicity - besides it's speed. Okay, it may seem somewhat obscure to profane because editing configuration files is something strange to profanes, but if you have a little knowledge of GNU/Linux like myself once completed the Beginner's Guide, looking at /var/log/pacman.log and start tweaking you found yourself with a very powerfull yet easy to use, easy and fast to learn system. Arch is incredible, that's why it's gaining so much popularity, and it's community is superb.
I'm doing my first steps around it and find Yaourt a very cool tool, I love all the info it shows about installed and AUR packages and the way it colorize, very pragmatic-oriented (as Arch is).
On the other hand Packer is a swift tool to replace pacman.
Thank you guys for your kindness and time spent on this n00b, best!

How to install open source Flex SDK in Eclipse 3.3 ?

How to install open source Flex SDK in Eclipse 3.3 ?
Thanks in advance,
Jai.

Hi Jai!
I'm not sure about this information because the last time I have used the flash builder into a linux machine was in 2007, but check this out:
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flex/flexbuilder_linux/
It says you will need to use SDK from the command line to build flex application.

Is installing from AUR similar to install from source?

I wonder if installing applications from AUR is similar to installing from source? Recently I have a problem where Eclipse SWT embeded browser is broken and 1 solution is installing firefox from source. So I wonder if installing from AUR is similar as installing from source?
StackOverflow question about broken SWT Browser

You may also be interested in ABS. ABS is the official build system for Arch. Things supported by Developers go into Core and Extra, things supported by trusted users go into community. To get the packages for the extra (which is where firefox lives), install and run (as root) abs. Then the build stuff for firefox will live at /var/abs/extra/firefox
ewaller@odin:/var/abs/extra/firefox 1021 %ls
firefox.desktop firefox.install firefox-install-dir.patch libvpx.patch mozconfig PKGBUILD vendor.js
Looking at the PKGBUILD, that package does compile from source. Copy the directory to a user directory, enter that directory, and you can build your own copy with makepkg. You can then install the package with pacman -U
If you need to change something, change the files in your local copy.
This is not that tough, but it is most definitively not a project for a beginner. The documentation you need is out there, you will need to do your research.

[SOLVED]Compiling a program from source (Tomoe)

I'm trying to compile Tomoe: http://tomoe.sourceforge.jp/cgi-bin/en/blog/index.rb
It is a handwriting recognition tool for East Asian languages. For those of you familiar with them, you'd know that there are some characters that are just so obscure you can't type them with your IME and the only way to input them is with a handwriting recognition program. (Browsing a unicode character map is only something a madman can do) MS has one built in their IME, but I've had to live by copying things from wiktionary up until now on Linux, and I think this program might be my saving grace if I can get it working.
I would want to make a PKGBUILD, but I really have no experiance with that kind of stuff at all, so I'm going to try to compile it from source the old fashioned way at least. I figured if it installs things into /usr/local/ by default it won't mess up with pacman too much.
However I'd need 3 packages. One for tomoe, another for tomoe-gtk, and another for scim-tomoe. And the 3rd depends on the 2nd which depends on the 1st. I installed tomoe fine with ./configure && make && make install, but when I try to install tomoe-gtk I get an error at ./configure:
checking for TOMOE... configure: error: Package requirements (tomoe >= 0.4.0) were not met:
No package 'tomoe' found
Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.
Alternatively, you may set the environment variables TOMOE_CFLAGS
and TOMOE_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.
Of course I know that I installed tomoe, slocate gives me:
(It gave me more stuff too, but they are all in the build directory in my home so I excluded them.)

export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH
And neither of those seemed to work so I then set TOMOE_CFLAGS and TOMOE_LIBS and it indeed avoided the need to call pkg-config and the configure script went on, but I got the same problem for gucharmap, which I tried installing with pacman and then starting a new session, but it still didn't work so I had to set the environment variables to skip it and then the configure script finished, but make not so surprisingly failed.
So what should I do to get this to compile?

Hello there, sokuban... just wanted to tell you that i have uploaded
scim-tomoe, tomoe, tomoe-gtk and uim-tomoe-gtk PKGBUILD's to the AUR.
... would be good if someone could test the pkgbuilds
out to see so everything works as it should.
tomoe-gtk had to be compiled without gucharmap. from what i could see the tomoe-gtk is not compatible with the latest version of gucharmap...
Thanks! The tomoe packages installs and works perfectly.
But now I've got another little problem. For some strange reason they decided that it would only load a dictionary when the locale is set to Chinese or Japanese. My computer currently runs on a ms_MY.utf-8 locale and while I wouldn't really mind putting it to ja_JP.utf-8 I'd prefer it if there is a way I can make it so that tomoe is always run with a Japanese locale no matter what locale the rest of my system is because I often randomly change it.
While I can directly run:
$ LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8 scim-tomoe
from a terminal and the dictionaries are loaded fine, I'd end up only being able to write in the terminal itself which is pretty useless. Right clicking on the scim icon and selecting handwriting recognition will give me the ms_MY version which doesn't have any dictionaries loaded.
Anyone know a way to do it?
EDIT: So I tried setting my whole locale to Japanese. Only problem is, Thunar has a bug with Japanese. Maybe its because the Japanese name for filesystem is too long, but the sidebar is stuck out too much and cannot be pushed in. Also since it is so long my filesystem icon on my desktop can't display its whole name, I wouldn't really call that a bug, but it isn't pretty to look at.
And I just noticed but xfce terminal fonts are messed up too. I'm too lazy to fix all this so I'm going back to English now. It would probbably be much easier to find a way to always run only this program with a Japanese locale than fix all the problems I'm getting with the whole system in a Japanese locale.
EDIT2: Solved by running scim itself in ja_JP.UTF-8 (why didn't I think of this earlier?).

[SOLVED] How to install and run (on debian) a separate, downlevel version of firefox for the F5/firepass VPN?

(Note: my problem is similar to [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/931534?e=es&as=aaq another current problem] except that
* OP is running windows (I'm running a debian linux)
* OP is asking a more general question (how to fix?) while I'm asking for details on a proposed fix)
I'm currently running
$ lsb_release -ds
Linux Mint Debian Edition
$ cat /etc/debian_version
wheezy/sid
$ uname -rv
3.2.0-2-amd64 #1 SMP Sun Mar 4 22:48:17 UTC 2012
$ iceweasel --version
Mozilla Iceweasel 13.0.1
I'd like to continue running an uplevel iceweasel ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mozilla_Corporation_software_rebranded_by_the_Debian_project which is firefox]) but apparently need to run a downlevel version in order to run a particular vendor-supplied plugin. How best to do that (i.e., with minimal performance degradation, and without affecting my package management)? Or is there another way to solve the general problem (running the F5 Network Access Plugin)? Why I ask:
My employer is giving me remote access via a SecurID token and the F5 Network Access Plugin (F5NAP). The latter is in fact a browser plugin, which seems to me an odd way to implement a VPN, but it's the only offered option. Unfortunately,
* the only browsers supported for linux are Firefox 3 and Firefox 8 (per [http://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/products/big-ip_apm/manuals/product/apm_compatibility_matrix_10_2_1.html this]--scroll to "Linux Operating Systems")
* my primary laptop runs LMDE (see above) with Iceweasel 13 (from the mozilla.debian.net repository), which I want to keep. (It's the uplevel browser, dammit !-)
So I first tried to install the F5NAP on my iceweasel, hoping it was sufficiently like the listed versions. I browsed to my employer's site, logged in using the token, and followed the link to install the plugin. Unfortunately, that failed: the xpi began running, but then quit with the message
> F5 Network Access Plugin could not be installed because it is not compatible with Iceweasel 13.0.1
Hoping for a simple workaround, I told the often-useful User Agent Switcher plugin to emulate Firefox 8, but no fix. Hence it seems like I will hafta
* install Firefox 3 or Firefox 8
* run that downlevel browser whenever I want remote access
* run the uplevel browser for everything else
This definitely seems like a kludge, so I am open to alternatives. Meanwhile I'm wondering:
# Which of the F5-supported downlevel browsers (Firefox 3 or Firefox 8) has the smaller memory footprint?
# How to install the downlevel browser so that it does not interfere with my uplevel browser's configuration, operation, and updating via debian package management?
# How to run the downlevel browser so that its operation does not interfere with my uplevel browser? I know firefox typically wants to run singleton.

@[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/user/160087 verdi]: thanks for your helpful suggestions. The "fix" (actually a kludge, but I gotta work with what F5 and my employer give me) was:
# Install/run latest Firefox 3 (despite there being [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/932269 no 64-bit version for linux]) using [https://docs.google.com/open?id=0BzDAFHgIxRzKbmJDUGZqTzhfbDg this bash scriptlet].
# Create a [https://docs.google.com/open?id=0BzDAFHgIxRzKQjRyQndqUTJpRXM run script] to start firefox so that one can
#* choose the appropriate profile (I was unable to set it from the script without startup error)
#* run multiple instances (I don't want 3.x firefox touching my uplevel profile)
# Run Firefox 3.x with the runner, then point it to my employer's site to install the [http://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/products/big-ip_apm/manuals/product/apm_compatibility_matrix_10_2_1.html F5 Network Access Plugin] (restarting firefox as required).
The gnome-terminal tab from which I invoke the runner spews a bazillion "wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64" errors, but the plugin runs, and I can SSH normally (though more slowly) to servers on the VLAN from another terminal tab.

[SOLVED] How to install nvidia 285.05.09-3 drivers

Hi All,
Currently I have installed xf86-video-nouveau 0.0.16_git20110829-1 drivers in my Arch Linux but I would like to install nvidia 285.05.09-3 in kernel 3.1.1-1-ARCH.
Each time I have tried to install nvidia drivers I have had a lot of problems: the worst is that once installed I reboot system and X does not start, screen goes black, etc so I am afraid to install it because then I have a lot of problems to goes back nouveau and to get X starts again.
So could anyone say me step by step how to install it with success and that once I reboot my system you ensure me X starts?
And a step by step guide in case X does not starts and I need to come back nouveau again and start X normaly without problems.
Thx.

Did you install the nvidia 285 drivers from the repos? Have you tried https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Nv … au_drivers ?
Can you post some logs when the nvidia drivers are failing? What card do you have?
Hi Karol,
I have just installed nvidia 285 from repos taking into account the link you provided. I follow the steps mentioned in the script to change from nouveau to nvidia and it went Ok. Now I have installed nvidia drivers from repos and at boot-up, X starts correctly (SOLVED).
I think when I installed nvidia in the past one thing was missed: (I did not do this)
/usr/bin/sudo /sbin/mkinitcpio -p linux
....Maybe that was the problem.
My graphic card is Nvidia Go7600.
Thx again

Software update for A2109A - how to install from external sd?

I bought my wife and son an A2109A tablet each just a few days ago. I immediately did an ota update. When I checked if there any further updates it said the tablet had the latest software from 297 days ago.
I see everyone on forums talking about a jellybean release for this tablet so I had a look on Lenovo's site and sure enough, there is an update released on 20th Feb 2013 with the filename a2109_jb_gpl_rc1_227.tar.bz2. I downloaded this, put it on an ecternal sd card and booted into recovery mode. The tablet did a search for an update, found it but couldn't verify the update. I chose the "install from external storage" option, but it couldn't see the file. I renamed the file to "update.zip" and tried again but it aborted again both automatically and manual install.
What do I need to do to install this update?

You tried to install the kernel source on your tablet? You can't do that, What OS are you running? if you don't have jb, the system update should allow you to update.

[Solved] How to install yajl 2.0 and reinstall yaourt?

I had yaourt with yajl 1.0, but somehow got deleted. My fault.
I had used yaourt, even if it asked for yajl>=2.0 and installed packages from AUR.
Now I cannot install yaourt, as it asks for yajl>=2.0
I can only install yajl 1.0.11-3, as pacman/kpackagekit won't find yajl 2.0.1-0, so I downloaded the tar.gz file, but don't know how to install it.
This is the zip file; lloyd-yajl-2.0.1-0-gf4b2b1a.tar.gz and its in the Home directory.
What should I do to install this, so I can install yaourt again?

How to install from a Solaris 8 install .iso?

I want to try to install Solaris 8 in an LDOM. I know that it is "not supported" - but it may be possible, according to some discussions I have had, so I want to try.
Unfortunately, when I try the naive approach and add the iso image of the CD as a virtual disk to the domain and try to boot from it, it tells me the file isn't executable. The explanation, it seems, is that the CD actually contains several slices, and only the first one is visible when you look at it as an iso file. So, I guess my question is: Is it actually possible to get to a point where I can try to install from this CD image into an LDOM?

Well, if it was supported you would be able to ;)
The thing with the SPARC installation CD's is that they are indeed sliced, i think the reason for it to be sliced is that different slices supports different CPU architectures, so that slice 2 (or slice :b when you boot it from an OK prompt) was originally, long time ago, used for the sun4c CPU's, slice 3 (or :c) was used for sun4m and slice 4 (:d) was used for sun4d.
Then came sun4u which used slice 5/:e
Then slice 0 would contain a HSFS filesystem which actually contained the packages and the installation program.
You can get the vtoc with dd, and then extract the slices you want with dd and access them using LOFS. But yet again this is probably futile. I don't think there is a single chip in the T4 hardware which is supported with Solaris 8.
Given how powerful the T4 seems, and how ineffective Solaris 8 could sometimes be at utilizing resources, it would also seem like a waste..
Have you had a look at native zones? that way you can run Solaris 8 / 9 in zones under Solaris 10..

edit: I tried compiling it on another computer and it was able too...not sure why mine wont. Although I do seem to remember possibly forgetting to uninstall it before making it again (after kernel upgrade)...I've tried multiple times to compile so far. Is there someway I can get a list of things to delete to manually remove all remnants of a previous install of alsa-driver?

Ok I ended up compiling the kernel from source for something else, so I tried compiling the alsa driver from source and it worked...maybe something was leftover in the previous kernel source directory that was causing problems.

[SOLVED] how to install mingetty

$ pacman -S mingetty
error: 'mingetty': could not find or read package
so then I downloaded mingetty-1.08.tar.gz & mingetty-utf8.patch from http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=13793
to my home/rich/Downloads folder. But how do I install it?

Sorry about that, I had read a lot of the wiki but I had no idea how to install a package from the AUR. The console was very upset when I tried to install mingetty as the root user, so to install it as another user changing the permissions on each and every installation file took a long time. However I got there in the end. Thanks for your help.
For anyone who like myself is running Arch Linux and Openbox, in the end I didn't need mingetty to boot straight into X Openbox, so I've now uninstalled it. I only needed to folow the instructions in the Arch Wiki at http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Start_X_at_boot (second section using etc/inittab).
Here's my etc/inittab:
# /etc/inittab
# Runlevels:
# 0 Halt
# 1(S) Single-user
# 2 Not used
# 3 Multi-user
# 4 Not used
# 5 X11
# 6 Reboot
## Only one of the following two lines can be uncommented!
# Boot to console
#id:3:initdefault:
# Boot to X11
id:5:initdefault:
rc::sysinit:/etc/rc.sysinit
rs:S1:wait:/etc/rc.single
rm:2345:wait:/etc/rc.multi
rh:06:wait:/etc/rc.shutdown
su:S:wait:/sbin/sulogin -p
# -8 options fixes umlauts problem on login
c1:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty -8 38400 tty1 linux
c2:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty -8 38400 tty2 linux
c3:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty -8 38400 tty3 linux
c4:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty -8 38400 tty4 linux
c5:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty -8 38400 tty5 linux
c6:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty -8 38400 tty6 linux
# Hypervisor Virtual Console for Xen and KVM
#h0:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty -8 38400 hvc0 linux
ca::ctrlaltdel:/sbin/shutdown -t3 -r now
# Example lines for starting a login manager
x:5:once:/bin/su YOUR_USERNAME_HERE -l -c "/bin/bash --login -c /usr/bin/startx >/dev/null 2>&1"
#x:5:respawn:/usr/sbin/gdm -nodaemon
#x:5:respawn:/usr/bin/kdm -nodaemon
#x:5:respawn:/usr/bin/slim >& /dev/null
# End of file
...the key is in the x:5:once:/bin/su YOUR_USERNAME_HERE -l -c "/bin/bash --login -c /usr/bin/startx >/dev/null 2>&1"
So now I just press the power button and end up in Openbox in about 50 seconds (for some reason my motherboard takes 30 seconds to get to the Grub menu, then as Arch boots it takes a good 10 seconds to get a wireless connection up). Press the power button again and it automatically shuts down! (see http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Shu … wer_Button - I don't know if this closes X properly but anyway it works)

[SOLVED] How to install Image magick extension for php?

As in topic, how to install imagick extension for php (xampp)? I tried with pecl, i installed pear first and imagick with "pecl install imagick". I added extension to php.ini file (/opt/lampp/etc/php.ini) but when i try to start xampp, i get error:
Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '/opt/lampp/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20090626/imagic.so' - /opt/lampp/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20090626/imagic.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory in Unknown on line 0
What should i do?
Last edited by smiechowy (2011-03-06 12:23:55)

it was installed in /usr/lib/php/modules/ I copied imagic.so to /opt/lampp/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20090626/ but it still don't work ;/
Edit: problem solved, i made a mistake adding "imagic.so" in php.ini instead of "imagick.so".

How to install from DVD onto machine without DVD drive

My boss has a laptop without a DVD drive, and wants to install Tiger. Tiger comes on a DVD. What is the best way to complete this install?
If I put the DVD in my laptop, then mount it as an external drive will that give us access to the DVD within it?

You can copy Tiger to CD's (if you already have the Tiger DVD's) and do the install from CD's. Or if your boss has a firewire port on his laptop you can plug in a firewire DVD drive and run the installation from there. You will need to hold down the option key to select which drive to start off of.
If you haven't already purchased Tiger you could buy the CD version on eBay.
