Gnomeslackbuild on Slackware older releases
Hi, I opened this post as an info to install gnomeslackbuild on slackware 12.2 or release older than current .
As gnomeslackbuild is alway available in his website for the lastest release of Slackware, for older release it's just required to download the file at http://gnomeslackbuild.org/net-install and change some variables
As you will see the variables are set (as you can expect) for the lastest release.. Obviously You have to change it for your slackware version..
Here is an example for installing it on 12.2 release, the older available
Code:
#!/usr/bin/sh

echo
exit 1
fi
than save the file and execute
Code:
chmod +x <this file>
sudo ./<this file>
NB:
Before executing it with success I had to install this 2 packages:
slapt-get-0.10.1a-i486-1gsb.tgz
cyrus-sasl-2.1.23-i486-1cf.tgz
I don't know why but without doing it first, bash didn't found /usr/sbin/slapt-get, even if the script seems to install it.. Well, I already had these packages on my usb stick so there was any problem.
If during the execution the script report the MD5 error because it's set wrongly, the one will show the error output is the correct.. Just replace it..
Re-run & Gsb installed...
Even if you think this it's obsolete, I hope it will be interesting for someone..
Have a nice day. |
