How to 'make", "make install'?


Hi. I've just installed Amigo and decided to add new packages. Problem occured.
When I type "make', "make install' 'uninstall' Amigo doesn't recognize these commands. Does Amigo support 'make' ? Thx in advance. Mariusz

Amigo 2 doesn't have any of the tools from the /d folder installed.
Are you trying to compile from source? Or are you just trying to install slackware *.tgz type packages?

Well, compiling from source is what I trying to do. Is there any difference between ./ configure - make and installing sklackware's .tgzs using PKGToo or Installpkg ? However, I need to install packages and I faile to do that. Extensions of files are tar.gz, tgz, rpm (which I convert to tgz. ) What tool do I have to use in Amigo environment to install packages ? It's bit consfusing as I'm a begginer in UNIX oriented soft like Linux. Can you help ? Regards.

Using words taken from Windows;-) ; I'd like to add new programmes and need a 'script' for available and reliable method to do this in Amigo.

I tried also to upgrade Windowmaker 0.80. to newer 0.90 release. In ./configure log I noticed info about problems with C compiler. What am I to do now ? Rgds.

See this thread for how to get sound working in Amigo-2.0.
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...ghlight=rexima

For XMMS and other stuff, use Slackware-9.1 packages from any Slackware mirror. Plus choose from around 1000 packages at linuxpackages.net. Always best to use packages made for 9.1, although most stuff will work from 9.0 and 10.0.

justr download the package anywhere convenient, browse to the folder , open an xterm there, and type:
installpkg name-of-package.tgz
To remove packages, run 'pkgtool' in an xterm and choose 'remove packages' to see the list.

If you do it the way the HOWTO on the WIKI says, I suppose so. Otherwise, you may have truble finding the correct drivers to match the kernel version. If you find them to match it should work without problems.

Does this mean I should stick to .tgz pkgs?
Will the installpkg command work for tar.gz packages and if not, can I compile them myself or is there no compiler in amigo?

Just wanna be sure because ALSA is all tar.gz.

tar.gz is , in fact the same as .tgz (tarred & gzipped).

Installpkg will only work on .tgz's.
However, you should only use installpkg for valid slack-style packages.

Source code packages are usually tar.bz2 or tar.gz. To unpack the ALSA source, copy it into a temporary directory in /root. Then navigate there and give this command in an xterm:
tar xzvf alsa*tar.gz

Amigo-2.0 doesn't come with gcc. You'll need to install gcc, kernel headers, make, binutils and glibc from the official slackware packages for version 9.1.

BTW, about 'valid' packages: If you create packages yourself using makepkg or checkinstall, or if you use packages from linuxpackages.net, be sure that the package has a valid 'slack-desc' file. It should have 11 lines with the package name matching the first part of the package name.
For example:

alsa-driver: alsa-driver version-?.?.? etc
alsa-driver:
alsa-driver: More description up to 11 lines

Should have 1 blank space after colon.
The first line is the descriptor which shows up in pkgtool 'view' mode.
The reason this is important is because without this valid slack-desc, pkgtool or removepkg will NOT remove the package correctly.
You can take any official slack package and copy to a temp dir, then navigate there and do:
explodepkg and look inside the dir called 'install' to see a 'valid' slack-desc.
BTW, I use lots of packages from linuxpackages.net and have never had any problems, except for an occasional invalid slack-desc.
To correct it just edit the file and save, then from the dir where you see the 'install' subdir, run:
makepkg newpackage-name-version?.?.?-arch-build.tgz
(just use the same name as the original with new build number)
