What commands do I use to rebuild k3b?

Thanks,

Here is the slackbuild I use. I used Pat's as a template and just edited a few lines. http://www.mostlyslack.com/slackstuf...lds/k3b.tar.gz

Download the source from here http://downloads.sourceforge.net/pro...mirror=surfnet

just untar k3b.tar.gz, download the source and save it in the k3b directory then run ./k3b.Slackbuild and the finished package will be waiting for you in /tmp.

You can also install ffmpeg and other dependencies too that k3b can take advantage off. If you install all the dependencies k3b becomes quite a feature rich program. Just check the configure script and it will tell you which ones it finds and which ones it didn't. Then you can go to SBo and install the missing ones and rebuild k3b again till you get them all.

Hi Mark:

I made sure that I met all the dependencies first and then downloaded and tried to install Alien Bob's handbrake.SlackBuild but got the following error msg:

Code:

What did I do wrong?

Thanks for any assistance,

I'm pretty sure the disk is messed up. Again check for scratches or get a refund.

I made sure to fix my omission and upload the handbrake 0.9.5 stuff that I had ready for some time but misplaced:

http://taper.alienbase.nl/mirrors/pe...lds/handbrake/

The handbrake 0.9.5 package does not have any external dependencies anymore (you have to have yasm installed in order to compile it, but yasm is part of Slackware since 13.37).

Code:

ImportError: No module named plistlib

Then your python is broken. Did you do a full Slackware install? Are you running a real Slackware?

Also, why don't you just install the package I provide? It's not like you should be afraid of downloading and installing something I built... lots of packages I built went straight into the original slackware64.

Sorry Eric, it was not my intention cause you trouble.

To the best of my knowledge, and that is not much, I am running a full Slackware 13.37 system - I was running current until current became 13.37, then I switched mirrors.

The reason why I was using handbreak.SlackBuild is I thought that was what I was suppose to do, guess not. Adding packages/software to Slackware confuses the hell out of me, obviously.

I went back to the link that you provided and downloaded the build - it installed perfectly.

I used sbopkg to get a new python but there are so many python apps I don't know which one I should download.

Anyway, sorry for wasting your time and thanks for you help.

Alien Bob · 06-29-2011, 03:05 PM

No, you did not cause me trouble Robert, nor did you waste my time. I post these replies on my own free will ;-)

It's just that some people think that every Slackware package should be compiled by hand... and that it is somehow "unworthy" to use ready-built binary packages. You have to know your sources, that is true: don't just trust anyone's packages but check the packager's credibility in the community.
I think I can safely say that you can trust my packages.

Slackware is not a "from source" distribution like Gentoo. It is perfectly OK to install a package. It is equally fine to grab the sources and a SlackBuild script, and compile that package yourself. But correctly compiling software depends on so many factors where the process can fail that it is sometimes not worth the trouble. I provide my SlackBuild scripts as a service, and for those who care to read them, as a learning experience, but essentially it's the packages that I provide.
Try compiling LibreOffice... it will take a large part of a day to finish. There are other examples of cumbersome builds. And if you do not care about the compilation experience but just need that package... well then, go ahead and download/install ! There is nothing "unworthy" about that. Nobody compiles all of Slackware either, just to run it.

Edit June 30, 2011: After installing Eric's handbreak package, I used it to make a copy of the 'defective' DVD on my hard disk - the copy works perfectly when opened with VLC. Go figure.

Marking as SOLVED.
