Where rpm2xzm Output?

[johnywhy]

hi

i ran rpm2xzm on a file right-click.
where's the output xzm file?

thx

[Ed_P]

Check the /tmp folder. And the /home/guest folder.

[johnywhy]

i see some txz2xzm folders, eg txz2xzm19159.
but i don't see any xzm files.

maybe the conversions failed, tho' i did get a successful-conversion message.

The XZM file usually appears next to the original RPM file.

[johnywhy]

not appearing, so I guess the conversions failed.
trying to convert these:

pretty sure rpm2xzm needs the development module 05-devel.xzm]05-devel.xzm to work, or at least the binutils package.. got that wrong
same goes for deb2xzm..

[johnywhy]

i booted with the devel module.
still not getting any xzm output file.

where would i find binutils?

This next step is optional - you can set the directories in your package

If this is not the case for you then you need to go back to fresh mode with nothing else loaded and see what's up.

hi brokenman!

Porteus-4.0 with NO 05_devel.xzm package loaded. AS ROOT.

i dont' understand what that means.

THX

[brokenman]

It means I had no trouble converting your RPM file from a root console with no 05-devel.xzm module loaded. It works with a standard porteus install.
