Missing install script in package xfce4-xkb-plugin-0.8.3

Petr Strajt · 11-02-2022, 06:40 AM

Hi all,

I am trying to build package xfce4-xkb-plugin-0.8.3. I use this tutorial https://docs.slackware.com/howtos:sl...ding_a_package

Package is created, but with warning: No symbolic links were found, so we won't make an installation script.
You can make your own later in ./install/doinst.sh and rebuild the
package if you like.

This is my second attempt to make package. The first attempt, built text editor emacs was successful I used the same tutorial.

All steps were successful, but this no: strip -s /tmp/build/usr/lib/* /tmp/build/usr/bin/*

It produced this error message:
strip -s /tmp/build/usr/lib/* /tmp/build/usr/bin/*
strip: Warning: '/tmp/build/usr/lib/xfce4' is a directory
strip: '/tmp/build/usr/bin/*': No such file

Where I made any mistakes?

SBo guys provide useful templates:

This (taken from a random slackbuild in slackware/source) would be a better way to do it:

Code:

PKG=/tmp/build
find $PKG | xargs file | grep -e "executable" -e "shared object" | grep ELF \
  | cut -f 1 -d : | xargs strip --strip-unneeded 2> /dev/null || true

...or use a template from SBo as marav suggested.
