perl-gtk2 fails at testing

Wed · 04-12-2011, 03:56 AM

I am trying to install dvd::rip and need among other things to install perl-gtk2. But it fails, so far twice. As far as I can tell, all dependencies are well met.

Code:

perl-gtk2:
Would you like to continue processing the rest of the
build queue or would you like to abort?  If this failed
package is a dependency of another package in the queue
then it may not make sense to continue.

(Y)es to continue, (N)o to abort, (R)etry the build?:

Suggestions? It is installed by sbopkg.

What version of Slackware? What version of sbopkg? What dependencies do you think you need? Does it also fail outside of sbopkg?

It works for me on Slackware 13.1 with sbopkg 0.34.1 and on Slackware-current with sbopkg-svn_r903.

I am on Slack 13.1 32bit and sbopkg 0.34.0

Quote:

This requires transcode, perl-extutils-depends, perl-extutils-pkgconfig,
perl-glib, perl-cairo, perl-gtk2, perl-event, and perl-libintl.

ffmpeg, lsdvd, ogmtools, mjpegtools, xvid4conf, subtitleripper, and fping are optional dependencies available at SlackBuilds.org.

Transcode also required lame, and pango was requested by one of the packages. I haven't tried outside sbopkg, but downloaded gtk2-perl as a txz from slacky. It is not installed yet.

This worked for me:

Code:

perl-extutils-depends
perl-extutils-pkgconfig
perl-glib
perl-test-number-delta
perl-cairo
perl-pango
perl-gtk2

I didn't try to build dvdrip, but only perl-gtk2. If that doesn't work for you, all I can figure is something amiss on your system or something specific to 32-bitness. I didn't follow the bit about having 'gtk2-perl' as a binary - if you're installing a lot of third party binary packages or mixing and matching then that's likely it. On the other hand, if you want to install 3rd party binaries, why wait? But what I meant by asking about whether it failed outside of sbopkg is to determine if the failure is an SBo or sbopkg problem by also running the SlackBuild 'by hand'. But, in this case, it's almost certainly not either one.

(Note: perl-gtk2 also seems to build without perl-test-number-delta on my system. If it does this on all systems and also functions properly, this would mean perl-cairo's upstream README (which the SBo README follows) is wrong. And dvdrip's SBo README is wrong (a) for leaving out perl-pango if it's going to try to itemize everything or (b) for trying to itemize everything when the SOP, as I understand it, is to only list your top-level deps. So you might want to contact the maintainers about those parts.)

Well, perl-gtk2 is the culprit, no matter the end purpose of dvdrip. Apart from quite a few slackbuilds, many via sbopkg, only very few are from other sources.

I quite like the idea that the code is munched locally. But sometimes that is just not going to happen. When I have exhausted my efforts, or when I am just plain exhausted, I will install the precompiled binary. Apart from the official qt3 and lshw from somwhere else, all my third party binaries are from AlienBOB (five of those). Everything else is SBo.

I ran it as a manual slackbuild, but the result was identical

The slackbuild for perl-gtk2 lists only perl-glib and perl-pango as deps. But I ran perl-test-number-delta through sbopkg (without a hitch) just to rule things out. perl-gtk2 still fail in the same way, as expected, from your note. It would of course be nice to know about lame and perl-pago right at the start: dvd::rip. I'll make a note of it to the maintainer.

Wed,
i had the same problem. In the end i just installed perl-gtk using the tool cpan2tgz. It is available from slackbuilds.org. Give it a try.

Thanks for me not being alone with this! I'll go ahead soon.
