needly help! pkg :-(
 

hello world!

i had to install libdaemon manually because slapt-get could not find it.
so i did like told in the readme.
no error !

but the hell it is not installed in pkg-config!
i checked ldconfig .conf and restarted it.
the lib's folder was already there.
but why can i not see it in pkgtool or -config???

please help.

thank you

ps: the same prob has already had this user http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...hreadid=117277
no one helped him!!!!
please do

What about trying to make manually a .pc file to be installed in pkg-config directory? You could look at the others files of the directory to have ideas about how to make this file.
Or perhaps there is something related in the readme.

no, nothing is said in the readme :-(
in /usr/local/lib are the lib files copied
in /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig there is libdaemon.pc
but how to get it listet in pkg?
thank you for help

Huu, what do you mean with pkg?
The pkgtool made by the Slackware team or the pkg-config I've described you?

If it's the first one, all the installed .tgz packages are listed in /var/log/packages and you will have an entry there only if you installed a .tgz package with any Slackware friendly (I'm not sure, for I've only used install/remove/upgrapdepkg) package manager.
You can make home made tgz packages with checkinstall, a bonus program available in most of the Slackware mirrors, the readme explains it quite well.

For the second one, I think typing a "pkg-config" shows you all the .pc he found in it's directory.
You should also check you environment variables by typing "export" and see where pkg-config seeks the .pc files and if it's not the case, add the /usr/local/pkgconfig in it's path.

???

the alternative are .deb files...
but before of installing alien or sth like that, i hope it would be possible anyway to get it running manually. does it not?!

how to include a *.pc file to the pkg list?
no use in all tried things!

The program can install itself the .pc file if the install scripts have been made for. If not,
there is the solution I've told you to make your .pc file manually.

When you do a:
./configure
make
make install
then it's not like you're installing a package, so it's not listed in pkgtool.
So i suggest you follow a procedure like: http://www.linuxpackages.net/howto.p...=Package+Howto
to build your own.

There is a very useful package called checkinstall which allows you to build a .tgz package which will be installed and listed in pkgtool. The usage is quite simple, download checkinstall from a Slackware mirror, install it, and instead typing a "make install" after "./configure" and "make", type "checkinstall" to have a menu to make your home made package.

get package lib-daemon-devel.

should be in there.
Had the same prob with ifplug and Fedora.

why doesn't that sound very slackwarish ;-)

Cause it isn`t slackware? ;)

I thought this could help you to get the right package (lib-daemon-devel)
or something similar.
