ponce / SBo Experts --

I mistakenly posted this Q to the wrong thread ... sorry ... meant to ask this Q here ...

Something I have wondered about from time-to-time for Source that lives in a git repository ...

What is the SBo Policy on using source files in a SlackBuild that are got-via-git ( ) ?

Are there times to use git and other times to not use git ?

If one uses git, is there a way to also git a .md5sum file too ?

Thanks !

Did you build the new dependency of atlas?
it worked fine here

You need to clone them, make an archive and host it somewhere public.
That way, you can make sure the checksums stays the same.

if the source is on github, you can also use their archive feature which points to spesific commit
eg. https://github.com/google/go-github/...b887428e77.zip

checksums is a must for SBo

Thanks willysr !

I get it ...

And yes, that md5sum is essential

Yes, I did.

the part you quoted doesn't contain the actual error: you should add also the lines above where the real error should be...
FYI, it builds fine here too.

Ok,

stdout:

stderr:

http://pasted.co/f5006ae4

well, looking at that log it doesn't seem to be any error outputted by the build system.

reading its README the only mandatory thing that the maintainer note is to turn off cpu throttling (instructions are in that file).

if it doesn't work I suggest you to get in touch with the maintainer.

I tried this now on three different computers with no success on compiling atlas.

First, I tried to disable CPU throttling with "/etc/rc.d/rc.cpufreq performance" but atlas still comply that CPU throttling is enabled. I even tried to disable it via BIOS, but atlas still comply, this on all three different computers (Slackware 14.2 64-bit and 32-bit).

So, I recompiled a new kernel with CPU frequency scaling disabled. Then I passed that check but getting the error in previous section.

What kind of supercomputer with super Slackware 14.2 do you use to make atlas compile without issues?

(I have mailed the maintainer, waiting for response)

I only use a clean Slackware64 14.2 VM using headless VirtualBox with 2 GB of RAM and 1 CPU core. It's far from a super computer definition

I think that is the culprit, you only use 1 CPU for atlas, maybe that's why it works?

that could be the culprit. You can try to force it by using make -j1

@ponce:

I also cannot get beyond the throttling issue.

Like Bindestreck I had run
in advance and the output of cpufreq-info confirmed this.

My problem is here:
Apparently it is the intel-pstate driver that has to be turned off as well.
See this ubuntu-post i-have-disabled-cpu-throttling-but-installing-atlas-says-cpu-throttlin. But there it depends on changing settings for GRUB, also according to the math-atlas site: But Grub is not used here. This blog compile-lapack-atlas-kaldi/ and thread pointed to a similar solution, but the thread also suggests that it depends on hardware/processor type.

So, it might depend on what processor/bios/startup pogram runs your box that will let compilation of atlas happen.

For me is the question, how to disable intel_pstate on Slackware not using GRUB to get started...do I add "intel_pstate=disable" to the append-line in my elilo config?

EDIT: tried this (plus activating the line "modprobe acpi-cpufreq" in /etc/rc.d/rc.cpufreq) , but this did not inactivate the intel_pstate. Would this be because of having a intel cpu (i7-3632QM CPU @ 2.20GHz) in this box? Or does it depend on kernel or on Slackware 14.2/current? On this same computer I did manage to compile atlas, but that was in the days of 14.1; in 2013. Anyway, setting compilation to 1 core in the atlas.SlackBuild did not bypass the throttle error in my case.

EDIT2: managed to inactivate intel_pstate (needed to pass on =disable kernel instruction also to refind.conf), got it on performance but atlas still does not compile; first some weird error with setting up build directory; then suddenly, there's throttling again; probably because my cpufreq is down from its max.....for some odd reason...no idea why,...giving up.

Hi , transcode , fail to build in 14.2 64bits *Multilib

He is using library in /usr/lib instead /usr/lib64

/usr/lib/libjpeg.so: error adding symbols: File in wrong format

Did you try this: https://slackbuilds.org/faq/#multilib?
