Installing a proprietary app in Arch
Hi Forum
I have this proprietary binary blob... comes in rpm or deb format... how do I install it in Arch...? How do I convert the rpm ( or deb ) to Arch format package...? Do I have to install "rpm" from AUR to manage this...? BRGDS Alex |
There is rpmextract 1.0-3 and/or rpmunpack 0-3 from Extra .
I do not recommend that you use the rpm package directly, but, using one the tools above in a PKGBUILD, it's better to first convert the rpm package into an Arch format package which pacman can install cleanly in your system. For Debian packages there is deb2targz 1-2 from Community. |
Hi Berbae
I solvet the issue already ... :) Thkz anyway... I used rpm and cpio, and hacked a similar PKGBUILD i found in Arch Forum... Created the Arch Package, Installed it and it works like a charm... Had to build some deps before... but it is solved. BRGDS Alex |
