SlackBuild available for Slackware users !

Postby paissad » Tue Mar 16, 2010 4:58 pm

Hi mates,

After i created the .deb package, i decided to make it for my lovely distro Slackware :D

FEATURES:
1) rc.d script,
2) logrotate the debug.log file
3) menu-icon available
4) PMS.conf and WEB.conf file won't be removed or overrided , they are considered as conf files
5) manpage
6) ...

I wrote this SlackBuild with some and i hope it will be useful for you.
I've been using it for a moment now and it does work great !

The SB downloads from the svn (export), and then creates the .tgz package ( you don't need to be root to do that, just use fakeroot ;))
You must have jdk installed in your system in order to build the software
You must have ant command too (usually available directly during installation of slackware !)

You can download pms-linux here http://slackbuilds.paissad.net ,
Code: Select all
svn co https://svn.paissad.net/slackbuilds/stable/pms-linux


I also added a SB for mediainfo ( it's not a requirement for building pms-linux, but it's a good thing to have libmediainfo when running pms-linux)
just do "fakeroot sh mediainfo.SlackBuild" and that will download the source, build the package & save it in /tmp.
You need p7zip before running this SlackBuild & p7zip is available in http://slackbuilds.org.
Code: Select all
svn co https://svn.paissad.net/slackbuilds/stable/mediainfo


If you have matters or suggestions , don't hesistate to submit them in this thread.

Enjoy

Can you make a write-up like you did for the debian version? Thanks! I'm very noob to Slackware.

@ gswarriorfan

i see now what you meant by write-up :)...
i think that if you're new to slackware, you'd better read the slackbook and google on how installing packages in slack.

but if you want to install it, you do
fakeroot bash pms-linux.SlackBuild OR you chmod +x pms-linux.SlackBuild and then ./pms-linux.SlackBuild
su -
cd /tmp
installpkg pms-linux-$VERSION.tgz

thanks!

I think I'm going to have to read through some of the Slackbook before I start messing around with Slackware...

Great work!
Thanks for the Slackbuild !
On my Slackware 13.0, JDK-6 and ant were not available by default.
JDK could be installed via slackpkg, but it looks like ant is not listed
for 13.0 anymore...I got it from slackbuilds.org and the pms build went fine.

regards,
Ford

i think that ant is available by default in slackware .... & btw, jdk is in section "extra" from slackware ISO installation CD/DVD ...
I just remembered i had a slackbuild for mediainfo & libmediainfo , i will put it in the svn repository as soon as i can ...
And i'm glad to know that the slackbuild was useful for you :)

I made a standard install of slack13.0 from a local, but freshly mirrored, Directory.
I unselected the KDE stuff, but did install X and Xapps. JDK and ant were not installed; just JRE.
I then installed JDK from the extra section (used slackpkg, because it was more convenient), but
apache-ant is nowhere in the files-list for the slackware 13.0 mirrors I scanned. But fetching it
via slackbuilds.org wasn't a hassle.

...mediainfo and libmediainfo would be nice to have, indeed!

BTW: I recognised, that pms-linux would NOT read in the renderer configs under
/usr/share/pms-linux/renderers when started from X (with GUI) but would read them fine
when started manually via/by the /etc/rc.d/rc.pms-linux startscript.
