When you run slapt-get -i -d where does slapt-get save the package?
Not in $PWD, and not in /tmp. ???

slapt-get seems to recreate the servers folder hierarchy:

When I recall correct that downloads it into the $PWD?

slapt-get -d -i look like this with directories like slackpkg when update system:
/var/slapt-get/salix/ap
/var/slapt-get/salix/development
/var/slapt-get/salix/l
/var/slapt-get/salix/libraries
/var/slapt-get/salix/misc
/var/slapt-get/salix/multimedia
/var/slapt-get/salix/n
/var/slapt-get/salix/system
and there is also a slackware directories:
/var/slapt-get/slackware64/l all this for the vlc package but you have to work on it to make the xzm the getmod do it for you in auto way getmod -m vlc

So, with the example of vlc - getmod would (like USM did) solve the dependency issues by itself and build a module that runs 100% ?

the software check into the system and report ,so you have more packages that need to be downloaded to run vlc in my vlc are 41 but what is mybin/linux/vlc? suggested package seem system packages that porteus have yet or not so maybe the path of your search is wrong a lot of the packages are installed.

/mybin/ is a symlink to the folder where my binaries are.

You will see the difference.

This is weird, VLC doesn't need gtk+3 and gtk4.
Did you do what I suggested to create symlinks slapt-get: slapt-get is an APT like system for Slackware package management. (Post by babam #89197)

About the 2nd search attempt above. The one with "Need to get 29.0MB of archives"
I manually looked up some of these "Suggested packages:"

Code: Select all

guest@porteus:/$ l /usr/lib64/imlib2/loaders/zlib.so*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root 14400 2022-07-23 11:24 /usr/lib64/imlib2/loaders/zlib.so

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root 1261824 2022-07-23 11:24 /usr/lib64/libcairo.so.2.11600.0

Do we need to create a symlink in /usr/lib64/ that directs to /usr/lib64/imlib2/loaders/zlib.so or is a loader a different thing than a regular library?

Is the cairo it wants not libcairo?

Also, we have elfutils installed:

(These are the only ones I checked)

hi Rava, i don't have a prefered packages with getmod,maybe you have to do the search on home directory most of this packages are installed, ok the gcc maybe you don't have the devel.xzm but other are part of the core system,if we have the same porteus5 system...

Posted: **28 Sep 2022, 00:57**

I removed some off-topic posts. I also moved my posts about the failed attempt in incorporating the symlink creation by module activation.

babam, some suggestions:

● getmod should have a higher priority and should be placed first in the initial post since it is better suited for all things Porteus, and it has the ability to solve dependencies on its own.

If you agree, I can edit the initial post for you. Please tell how and / or what I should do.
______________________________________

For the rest, unfortunately I have no solution yet:

● I tried, but failed (at times it seems to work when activating my module, and then it doesn't and I do not get why that is) [I removed my posts about that since my own module is not working as intended, use babam's instead and do manually create the symlinks.], but hopefully one of the many module creators should be good enough with making a module to add the creation of the needed symlinks the Slackware way - by using the correct folder hierarchy.
The module I examined and used as reference had its symlink creation script in /var/log/scripts/ - that's where I put mine to make 011-slapt-get-0.11.6-x86_64-2gv_rava.xzm the malfunctioning module.

Now I looked into a different module it also uses the same path for its symlink creation script:
a module based on the ponce package fbreader-0.12.10-x86_64-2ponce has this in its /var/log/scripts

For now I do not get why my module is so unreliable when other modules using the same path for the script work fine.
