oh I see....ok Ill try another absolute-lite install
sda8 your gettin it again:)

NO
again when it builds it the output is saying slim.conf.new and rc.4.new
so its not working or what?

Can you please show me the SLKBUILD file you're using?

OK

heres the slkbuild I just edited as you and ponce said and it failed

Code:

pkgname=slim

pkgver=1.3.1

pkgrel=1gv

arch=i486

source=slim-1.3.1.tar.gz

sourcetemplate=

docs=("readme" "install" "copying" "changelog" "authors" "news" "todo" "themes")

options=('noautodotnew')

"configurable through themes and an option file; is suitable for"

build() {

        cd $startdir/src/$pkgname-$pkgver

        sed -i "s/CFLAGS=/CFLAGS+= /" Makefile

        make || return 1

        make install DESTDIR=$startdir/pkg

        THEMES="icelite"

        for i in $THEMES; do

                cp -a $startdir/src/$i $startdir/pkg/usr/share/slim/themes

        done

        chown -R root:root $startdir/pkg/usr/share/slim/themes

        sed -i "s/current_theme\(.*\)/current_theme icelite/" $startdir/pkg/etc/slim.conf

        echo "mv /etc/rc.d/rc.4.new /etc/rc.d/rc.4" >> $startdir/pkg/install/doinst.sh

}

Heres where the build failed

Code:

test -e /root/Desktop/SLIM/nubuild/pkg/etc/slim.conf || \

                install -D -m 644 slim.conf /root/Desktop/SLIM/nubuild/pkg/etc/slim.conf && install -D -m 644 rc.4 /root/Desktop/SLIM/nubuild/pkg/etc/rc.d/rc.4

cp: cannot stat `/root/Desktop/SLIM/nubuild/src/icelite': No such file or directory

./build-slim.sh: line 180: /root/Desktop/SLIM/nubuild/pkg/install/doinst.sh: No such file or directory

build() failed.

why use the SLKBUILD if build-slim.sh also came with it?

I repeat, I don't know salix buildscript, but I think you don't need my line there with

Code:

options=('noautodotnew')

also, reading this

Code:

cp: cannot stat `/root/Desktop/SLIM/nubuild/src/icelite': No such file or directory

I think you need icelite theme is src folder.

I'm giving up on this one I think
now the build-slim.sh, which was working, now also quits

both the SLKBUILD and build-slim.sh "create a src and pkg folder, not me
all my stuff is in slim-1.3.1 folder which i make into tar.gz and then run build.sh whatever...
shit

I just waan replace the damn rc.4 thats it!

Well, of course it fails. Do you notice an mv line in my SLKBUILD? You also have to provide sources in the source line, which you stripped for no reason. Use something like this:

Code:

#Maintainer: George Vlahavas <vlahavas~at~gmail~dot~com>



pkgname=slim

pkgver=1.3.1

pkgrel=1gv

arch=i486

source=("http://download.berlios.de/slim/slim-1.3.1.tar.gz" "rc.4" "icelite.tar.gz")

docs=("readme" "install" "copying" "changelog" "authors" "news" "todo" "themes")

options=('noautodotnew')

dotnew=('etc/slim.conf')

url=http://slim.berlios.de/

        sed -i "s/current_theme\(.*\)/current_theme icelite/" $startdir/pkg/etc/slim.conf

        mkdir -p $startdir/pkg/etc/rc.d

        cp $startdir/src/rc.4 $startdir/pkg/etc/rc.d/

}

Make sure the theme's filename is icelite.tar.gz and it extracts to a directory named "icelite", or change the source line near the top and the cp -a line in the for loop (which is not needed if you only have one theme by the way).

OK
I'm about as good with bash,whatver as I am with html, so...

I'm gettin more confused by the moment

Anyway I could just give you my source Gapan and you do it??

I could, but how would you learn anything like that? ;) If you read my previous post carefully, I'm sure you'll find the way to do it eventually.

And another way to accomplish what you want, which is also a lot cleaner, is leave the slim package with no rc.4 script at all, and rebuild the sysvinit-scripts package with your edited rc.4. Here's the source from slackware: ftp://ftp.ntua.gr/pub/linux/slackwar...vinit-scripts/

Damnit
running the SLKBUILD overwrites the build-slim.sh does it?
there went 3 hours of work...

LOL, of course it does. :D

Code:

man slkbuild

man SLKBUILD

for more.

Gapan I have been asking what pkg holds rc.d,
Thank you as all I need to cxhange is the stupid rc.4 script

I'll try it though with my build-slim.sh now vaporized/changed I'm back at square1
maybe I'll try later

OK

so, now how do I build that sysvinit stuff?
./configure,etc or what?

LOL
I just tried ./sysvinit-scripts.SlackBuild
and of course it failed

Searching for symbolic links:



No symbolic links were found, so we won't make an installation script.

You can make your own later in ./install/doinst.sh and rebuild the

This next step is optional - you can set the directories in your package

to some sane permissions. If any of the directories in your package have

special permissions, then DO NOT reset them here!



Would you like to reset all directory permissions to 755 (drwxr-xr-x) and
