Ran into some issues with building openresolve 3.9.2 using the current .SlackBuild

README could not be found

Solved by commenting out line 99 in openresolve.SlackBuild
P.S. I did not try with version 3.9.0 D.S.

I'm the maintainer for openresolv. He must've removed the README (or renamed it to README.md) on the newer versions (the script works fine with the 3.9.0 version it calls). I'll try and push out an update this weekend to SBo for the 3.9.2 version. It wasn't high on my list because the updates were minor.

@bassmadrigal Thank you!
I didn't even think of that he could have changed the README file to something else. I did check now, and your guess is correct, it has been renamed README.md

Tip:

But pandoc is not in a stock slackware system , is 3thd party package.

WANT make pandoc or pandoc-bin as dependency only for the readme file ?

Not just for that. But maybe a packager having installed pandoc can include README.html in the submission?

packager or not packager , your suggest FORCE , to install on system the pandoc or pandoc-bin ... end of discussion.

I don't intend to force anyone to do anything, but just suggest something that can benefit users: believe me or not, maybe not worth it for a very small README but a lot of documentation is now provided by upstream projects that is way easier to read as a web pages or pdf documents than in markdown format. Was wrong just mentioning this just as an option?

The wrong thing, is post a command , people CANT execute under slackware if not install some PANDOC ... probably the best is in the readme, "build documentation is an optional but requires install pandoc/pandoc-bin"


If some regular user read your comment ,only go to open ternimal and try execute the command.

Start saying , if have pandoc installed, can do "THIS" .... cause in stock slackware CANT DO THIS.

Last reply , i lost time explaining something too obiously for someone, if you no understand is not my problem....and this thread is not for this. :=)

And of course , you dont force to install pandoc to no one , but post command , only works if installs pandoc ...all right man , but not forced..i can execute pandoc , without installs... ha ha ha , very fun joke. :=)


In this case , i think the best way , is convert the README , and provide ready to use inside de slackbuild.tar kit , as an extra file , converted and ready , thats the best way.

How can I recognize which 3-rd party software (only from SBo repo are in my system) that must be recompiled ?

There is some odd ball mismatch going on:
I can't build Inkscape 1.0 on my -current and when i try run the prebuilt one from ponce's repo i get missing ImagMagick6 error while -current is running an I.M.-7 package

Looks like some commit somewhere is missing?
https://github.com/ImageMagick/ImageMagick/issues/236 <- related?

FWIW it started when i only referenced the missing symlinks

For installed packages this will give you a list (not sure it be complete though):

Yes, that made the trick, Thanks for you and, of course, for the Ponce !

I recompiled the perl-html-tagset and *-parser packages, so wireshark compiled fine.

Working fine here so far (@ 74% and still going). Was loads of dependencies to sort, but I skipped the libwpd one as it was not required.
I've seen nothing related to ImageMagick so far...

Running current 64-bit updated as of a couple of hours ago. Are you running 32-bit current? (shouldn't matter though, me thinks)

Just to clarify one thing, Inkscape 1.0 is BETA1, is 0.92.4 building ok for you?

Edit:
And now there's an error (3 actually) of missing files... INSTALL, NEWS and GPL*.txt
INSTALL -> INSTALL.md
NEWS -> NEWS.md
GPL*.txt -> New structure in the tar.bz2 file. All Licenses are found in its own folder LICENSES:

Edited the inkscape.SlackBuild file, line 102 to be

Removed GPL and it built just fine
