[SOLVED] pgm2txt script error

andrew.46 · 10-04-2010, 07:50 AM

I have compiled both gocr and subtitleripper from slackbuilds.org and I am running into a problem with one of the scripts run from subtitleripper: pgm2txt. The error is:

Code:

andrew@skamandros~/Desktop/Labyrinth/subtitles$ pgm2txt -f en fauno
/usr/bin/pgm2txt: line 165: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `"'
/usr/bin/pgm2txt: line 179: syntax error: unexpected end of file

Support for this program is not available and development has ceased a while ago so I have had a look at the script itself and I cannot see the error in syntax. Has anybody had some experience with this script and can perhaps see the error?

Perhaps the error is in the en or fauno files (whichever is a file)?
That is my best guess

The error does seem to be coming from the script itself, but there is nothing obviously wrong with it. I don't have gocr, etc set up, so I can't really test it well. On the subtitleripper site, it says that pgm2txt is included in transcode. Do you have transcode installed?

Thank you janhe and gnashley for your suggestions, the puzzling part of this problem was that as gnashley pointed out the script itself in the tarball was fine. It was only when I examined the installed script /usr/bin/pgm2txt that I noticed that in fact this script had been mangled during the installation with errors from line 111, where the path to PATH_TO_LANGUAGE_FILTER had been slammed in destroying the if statement.

I cannot yet see where this has happened during installation but I simply took the 'clean' script from the tarball, made the required configuration changes, fixed the 'IMAGE_VIWER' typo and copied it to /usr/bin, the program now works beautifully. Now to investigate what needs to be altered in the slackbuilds script which needs some obvious adjustments, can anybody see the culprit? Mind you I am a little chuffed that I have just now produced my first srt file courtesy of subtitle2pgm, pgm2txt and srttool

.

Edit: The error is in here:

Code:

EXECUTE_PROCESS(
	INPUT_FILE pgm2txt
	OUTPUT_FILE pgm2txt.new
	COMMAND sed s|PATH_TO_LANGUAGE_FILTER.*|PATH_TO_LANGUAGE_FILTER=@CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX@/@DATA_INSTALL_DIR@/subtitleripper|
)

EXECUTE_PROCESS(
	COMMAND mv pgm2txt.new pgm2txt
)

where sed makes the first necessary change and then the second and third changes that destroy the script. How to make sed just match the first?

Edit again: Too easy! There is an extra fix in there for the path to the filter files

Code:

COMMAND sed s|^PATH_TO_LANGUAGE_FILTER.*|PATH_TO_LANGUAGE_FILTER=@CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX@/@DATA_INSTALL_DIR@/subtitleripper/|
