Hello everyone! I am following Eric's guide on setting up MultiLib (found here:
http://alien.slackbook.org/dokuwiki/...kware:multilib), and it doesn't seem too bad. Since I am using 13.1, I downloaded all of the required 13.1 packages (and the debug for kicks), ran
Code:
upgradepkg --reinstall --install-new *.t?z
and everything upgraded successfully, including compat32 tools.
Ok so next step. I downloaded the 32 bit 13.1 iso via the torrent from the main slackware site. Next, I ran
Code:
mkdir /iso && mount -o loop -t iso9660 /path/to/slackware.iso /iso
This mounts to /iso, ok cool. Because I mounted the dvd iso to /iso, my source tree now resides at /iso/source. Next, after creating /compat32 and changing into the directory, I do
Code:
massconvert32.sh -i /iso/source/
This fails miserably however, and outputs the following:
Code:
root@darkstar:/compat32# massconvert32.sh -i /iso/source/

Weird. Considering I just installed 13.1 a week ago, I figured I'd cut my losses and retry the procedure with a fresh-new install of 13.1. This morning I went ahead and did just that. Immediately after installation, I upgraded the multi-lib packages first thing (along with installing compat32 tools). All 13--including the debugger--upgraded & installed with no problems. However I still receive the same error:
ls: cannot access /path/to/package No such file or directory*** FAIL: packages 'abc" was not found!. (where abc are all the packages above)
So, I thought, perhaps this has something to do with permissions. Just to be safe, I ran
and remounted the dvd iso image. It mounts fine, however the massconver32 script failed with the same error message.
I even tried specifying the -u option for massconvert32.sh, but this failed with a similar error message:
Code:
oot@darkstar:/compat32# massconvert32.sh -u http://slackware.mirrors.pair.com/slackware-13.1/source/

and so forth for the rest of the packages.
Does anyone have any ideas? It boggles my mind that I can't access these packages when i have them mounted directly as an .iso! Isn't that better than mounting from a disc? Should I try burning the dvd iso, and mounting that? It just seems silly that I should have to waste a perfectly good dvd when the .iso image resides on my external nearby.
Any thoughts and suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks!
oh noes
