Slackbuild

There are few options to have slackbuild compiled.

  • Manual Compilation

  • Using sbopkg

  • Other tools such as slapt-src, and slpkg

Here we I use fish as an experiment. You can use other Slackbuild as well such as ncdu.

Manual Compilation

Get the slackbuild. Using the appropriate slackware version.

$ cd ~

$ wget -c ftp://ftp.slackbuilds.org/pub/slackbuilds/14.2/system/fish.tar.gz

$ tar -xvf fish.tar.gz

$ cd fish

$ chmod +x fish.SlackBuild

Get the source code. Using fish.info

$ cat fish.info 
PRGNAM="fish"
VERSION="2.6.0"
HOMEPAGE="http://fishshell.com/"
DOWNLOAD="https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/releases/download/2.6.0/fish-2.6.0.tar.gz"

EMAIL="edps.mundognu@gmail.com"

$ wget -c --no-check-certificate https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/releases/download/2.6.0/fish-2.6.0.tar.gz

Do the compilation process. Be brave to track error in /tmp/*/config.log whenever you encounter error.

$ ./fish.SlackBuild
...
Slackware package /tmp/fish-2.6.0-x86_64-1_SBo.tgz created.

And finally install.

$ installpkg /tmp/fish-2.6.0-x86_64-1_SBo.tgz

Docker Slackware: Build Fish using Slackbuild

Tracking Dependency

Sometimes (or usually for beginner), error happened while building from source. This step give me better understanding of my system.

$ ./fish.SlackBuild

...
...

configure.ac:28: installing './missing'
Makefile.am: installing './depcomp'
autoreconf: Leaving directory 'pcre2-10.22'
autoreconf: configure.ac: not using Libtool
autoreconf: configure.ac: not using Automake
autoreconf: Leaving directory '.'
checking if autoreconf needs to be run... no
checking if autoheader needs to be run... no
checking for gcc... gcc
checking whether the C compiler works... no
configure: error: in '/tmp/SBo/fish-2.6.0':
configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
See 'config.log' for more details

You should take a look at the config log for more verbose message.

$ less /tmp/SBo/fish-2.6.0/config.log

Docker Slackware: Take a look at config.log

You can see in that figure above that we need to install as the Portable GNU Assembly. Other case we encounter a more complicated thing, such as missing file that must be search first. Here is some example.

$ find /usr/ -name crti*

$ slackpkg file-search crti.o

$ slackpkg search libxml2

This doesn’t look as so bad. Actually searching for these files is fun if you have time.

All you need is patience, and passion.

sbopkg

After manual compilation, we can continue to automatic compilation. There is this sbopkg tool to make your life easier.

Reading

Install

$ cd ~

$ wget -c --no-check-certificate https://github.com/sbopkg/sbopkg/releases/download/0.38.1/sbopkg-0.38.1-noarch-1_wsr.tgz

$ installpkg sbopkg-0.38.1-noarch-1_wsr.tgz

Now you are ready to use sbopkg. But however you need to install rsync first, to populate repository data to local.

Update

First Thing First

$ sbopkg

$ slackpkg install rsync

$ sbopkg -r

$ sbopkg -i fish

Docker Slackware: Install Fish with sbopkg

As long as you prepare toolchain well, sbopkg is helpful.

The sbopkg Log File

$ tail -n 15 /var/log/sbopkg/sbopkg-build-log

Using slapt-get

There also unofficial package manager for slackware that emulate Debian apt-get. slapt-get for binary, and slapt-src for source such as slackbuild.

Reading

Install slapt-get

$ wget -c  --no-check-certificate https://software.jaos.org/slackpacks/14.2-x86_64/slapt-get/slapt-get-0.10.2t-x86_64-1.tgz

Package Description:
 ncdu (NCurses Disk Usage)

 As the name already suggests, ncdu is an NCurses version of the famous
 old 'du' unix command. It provides a fast and easy interface to your
 harddrive. Where is your disk space going? Why is your home directory
 that large? ncdu can answer those questions for you in just a matter
 of seconds!

Package Installed: yes

Docker slapt-get: Show Info ncdu

Since ncdu come from slackbuild repository that needed to be compiled first. We need another tool to manage.

Using slapt-src

In order to use slackbuild form source, we can utilize slapt-src. This time no need to wget, since we already have slapt-get.
