[SOLVED] can't compile libkate on slackware64-current

_gin · 06-19-2015, 04:03 AM

Hi everyone,

I can't compile/install libkate (0.4.1) on Slackware64-current, I get this error:

Code:

....
/usr/lib64/libfl.so: undefined reference to `yylex'
...

It's related to the new flex (2.5.39) included in current ; does anyone know how to solve this?

hi _gin,

David Spencer sent me a patch for libkate that I included in my personal repository for current

It's working, thank you Matteo, you're helpful, as usual.

you're welcome but, as for other patches, you should actually thank David (55020 here), I simply added the patch in

These days, I don't use much of SlackBuild Itself (*), but I started to write my own building scripts based on those from Slackbuilds and from time to time I still pick a patch there or a 'sed command'; David, thank you for this one and your commitment!

When I'm about to install a new software, I usually look for patches related to security from Debian and how to build the package from Arch, that's my "step by step" way to building stuff on Slackware.

Cheers guys!

(*) I'm running flashplugin, lua and youtube-dl at the moment.

Hmm, my patch to get libkate to compile was actually a one-liner:

(1) Hey Eric, I didn't know you had a git repo!! Awesome!!! "Notebooks out, plagiarists"

(2) Maybe I'm going soft in the head, because I genuinely don't remember most of these fixes, and therefore Matteo deserves thanks too for keeping them in a nice tidy repo

Too much quantity, and not enough quality

To cut a long story short, that is not the link you are looking for. Get what you need from here: http://cgit.ponce.cc/slackbuilds/tre...kate?h=libkate

I go to that page, click on the patch file I wish to download, and it is another HTML page with all this weird code on it. WHAT DO I DOWNLOAD? If I "save link as" it saves an HTML page. Do I copy and paste ALL of that weird code? ALL OF IT?!? starting from diff? then save the code as the patch? WHAT? When I run all that code as the patch, it keeps asking me questions I don't know the answer to. If I say yes, I seem trapped in an eternal loop, If I say no it errors out anyway.

Click on "plain" next to the blob MD5 hash. If you grab it for all the files, then you'll have the version that will likely make it into SBo for the next Slackware version.

chaz_bro1972 · 10-24-2015, 08:40 PM

But I still don't know what do with this blob!?!?!

bassmadrigal · 10-24-2015, 09:55 PM

What blob? If you click that link it is a plaintext file, not a blob. You can save that as the patch and then use the SlackBuild or apply it manually.
