[SOLVED] MPlayer.SlackBuild fails on line 382

./MPlayer.SlackBuild: line 382: cd: /tmp/build/package-MPlayer/usr/share/mplayer/skins: No such file or directory
./MPlayer.SlackBuild FAILED at line 382!

/usr/share/mplayer/skins directory does exist.

# Install our default skin:
cd $PKG/usr/share/mplayer/skins ->line 382
tar -xvf ${SOURCE[1]}
chown -R root:root *
chmod -R u+w,go+r-w,a+X-s *
ln -s ${DEFSKIN} default
cd -

So what is wrong with line 382 or above script? Any help is appreciated thank you.

Check for /tmp/build/package-MPlayer/usr/share/mplayer/skins directory

Otherwise, do

mkdir -p $PKG/usr/share/mplayer/skins

before line 382

Thank you gengisdave,
I had a look @ /tmp/build/package-MPlayer/usr/share/mplayer/skins directory:
I thought it was a syntax problem in MPlayer.SlackBuild on Line-382 -> cd $PKG/usr/share/mplayer/skins thought space was missing between $PKG /usr/share/mplayer/skins -> so i added the space?

Everything went fine until - Line 469:
./MPlayer.SlackBuild FAILED at line 469!

Code:

  | grep ELF | cut -f 1 -d : | xargs strip --strip-unneeded 2> /dev/null )

What does this mean? Also, what do these 2 symbols mean together: !=

Going to go back and try your solution, now.

Tried gengisdave's much appreciated solution by adding his line just above line 382, after removing the space I had added between $PKG/usr/share/mplayer/skins.
Build still failed on Line 470 originally Line 469:

?

this is the strip moment of a slackbuild, complete line is

Code:

cd $PKG
find . | xargs file | grep "executable" | grep ELF | cut -f 1 -d....

i looked at the original mplayer.slackbuild, the line before ends with '\', so your line 469 is the pipe continuing from line 468

Code:

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

a '\' character at the end of a line in a bash script means "next line is still a part of this command line, but it's more readable then writing on a single line"; note the two spaces on the second line meaning a sort of indentation

This looks like the result of text wrapping. Let's say you use Vim with something like :set textwidth=79 (which is what I use). You open the script, edit a line, but it gets wrapped... and produces the error above.

With Vim, the solution would be to open your file and then immediately use :set textwidth=0 to disable wrapping. Or you know what you are doing, and then you can wrap the text without forgetting the '\' at the end of the line.

Cheers,

Appreciate your explanations - been piecing it together thru searches & checking back in here. Is the wrapping causing the piping part of the line to fail?
I logout of X and log back in as root then cd /home/user/Build to run script. I use vi to edit, so I can set vi with is command :set textwidth=0 ? will that make the script run smoother? Going to try it.

Build fails at line 470! Build still choking on the piping part & end of line 469 at end of Build Script (
I'm going to try editing the line so that it breaks in a different place. Unfortunately it is trial & error. Thanks everyone & a Healthy New Year.

Going to mark this thread as solved - although I'm not sure why the build was failing on lines 382 and 469. The solution was to intall libdvdcss and then MPlayer 20110624 pkg I'd previously built without dvdcss support. Did learn more about the slackbuild script & process - much appreciate all the support. MPlayer is working fine. A Peaceful & Healthy New Year to the slackware, linux, & world community.
