[SOLVED] src2pkg Error

Mobile1 · 11-19-2021, 10:25 PM

Hi,

I'm getting this error when trying to setup src2pkg - anyone have a fix for this:

bash-5.1# src2pkg --setup
Notice - Creating src2pkg-helpers:
src2pkg uses a shared library and a few programs
when creating packages. For best compatibility,
these binaries will be compiled on your system.
They are then installed in a private directory.
When done, src2pkg is ready for use.

TEMP_DIR=/usr/src/src2pkg/builds/src2pkg-helpers
Starting build in 5 seconds
Unpacking sources - OK
Creating libsentry - Ooops! Can't live without it...

Thanks

I haven't seen gnashley, creator of src2pkg, on this forum for ages.

I think Gilbert is actually active

https://www.linuxquestions.org/quest...rchid=12065366

BTW the error is because of the newer glibc: from glibc >= 2.23 onward some definitions had been removed from the public headers

I just recycled the patch in the above link and produced another that you might apply like this on an slackware current with src2pkg already installed

Code:

cd /tmp
wget https://ponce.cc/slackware/testing/src2pkg.patch
cd /usr/src/src2pkg/src2pkg-helpers
patch -p1 < /tmp/src2pkg.patch

then you should be able to succesfully run "src2pkg --setup".

THANK YOU Ponce! I still love to use src2pkg before I make SlackBuidls just to see what problems may arise. It's nice to have it working again.

Thank you very much, the first link is broken by the way, but the link to the patch script worked.

Take care,
