Hi all

I am running Slackware10.2 with KDE desktop.
I am trying to get "freevo" up & running, but it seem to have a billion
dependencies; for most of which there does not seem to be a slackware pkg.

I use the program "checkinstall" to build slackware pkg.

I am now trying to build a pkg for "mmpython-0.4.9" but it keeps giving
me a lot of error; I am pasting a few lines below

I have got the "libdvdread-0.9.6" pkg installed, which was also made by
me from source using "checkinstall"

I also tried to make a "lsdvd-0.16" pkg but when I tried to run
"./configure" it kept giving me an error; something like.... "header
files for dvdread could not be found"
but the files were clearly there!!

bash-3.00$ ls /usr/local/include/dvdread/
cmd_print.h ifo_print.h ifo_types.h nav_read.h
dvd_reader.h ifo_read.h nav_print.h nav_types.h
bash-3.00$

So I even tried to do this
./configure --includedir=/usr/local/include/dvdread/

but to no effect.. :-(

So is something wrong with the libdvdread-0.9.6 pkg or am I missing
something here....

Thanks in advance

I'm running a stock Slackware 10.2 version with all the updates. I downloaded and unpacked mmpython-0.4.9, ran checkinstall, and didn't get any errors. The README didn't say anything about dependecies other than running the 'setup.py' file, so...

# cd mmpython-0.4.9
# checkinstall python setup.py install

Installing with "python setup.py install"...

======================== Installation results
running install
running build
running build_py
running build_ext
running build_scripts
running install_lib
running install_scripts
changing mode of /usr/bin/mminfo to 755

======================== Installation succesful

Done. The new package has been installed and saved to
# mmpython-0.4.9-i386-1.tgz

I'll see what libdvdread-0.9.6 does and post back with my results.

I downloaded and unpacked libdvdread-0.9.6, ran configure, make, and checkinstall, no errors. I'm kind of at a loss as to why your having so much difficulties. Possibly due the packages in question are non-stable 0.x.x versions?

# cd libdvdread-0.9.6
# configure
# make
# checkinstall

Thanks

All I can say is that it has made me more jealous & even mad :-)

Can you please send me a list of all the pkgs installed on your system.... I am asking this cos I made a slim installation, so may be I am missing a certain pkg or somthing...

Thanks
Jadukor

I have a tendency to reinstall the OS for testing purposes. I normally accept all the packages selected at the "Package Series Selection" screen prompt, remove anything related to RAID, and install all Python packages. I upgrade all installed packages with the latest security updates. I then installed checkinstall from the /extra package directory from a local mirror. This isn't exactly what your looking for, but it should give you an idea what packages I have installed. If you need a more detailed list I can send a list to you via this forum's email app.
