Rox Filer
Rox Filer is a gtk2 file browser with few dependencies but it is not
a straightforward CMMI to install it. I think it would be appreciated
by the people who read the book so I've made the attached patch which
will add it to the book. Please apply.

+Installation of rox-filer
+
+Compile rox-filer with the following

+
+
+
+
+Command Explanations
+
+
+sed -i 's:g_strdup(getenv("APP_DIR")):"/usr/share/rox":' src/main.c
+: This command hard codes /usr/share/rox as the directory for its
+private files. Without this sed rox needs the environment variable $APP_DIR
+to be set.
+
+ln -sv application-...: These commands duplicate
+the icons for some common mime types. Without these links
+rox would just display the default "unkown
+binary blob" icon.
+
+
+
+
+Configuring Rox Filer
+ Rox itself doesn't need any configuration
+ but if you want it to be able to update its view of the contents of a
+ directory when changes are made to files by other applications you will
+ need to enable dnotify support (on the filesystems menu in make
+ menuconfig) in your kernel.

ghostscript jasper patch
Hello, when installing ghostscript, the jasper patch can be replaced by a sed: sed -i '/e j/,+5d;/b(s/d' base/sjpx.c Andy -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
faac-1.28
The faac-1.28 page says that it installs libmp4v2.so. I couldn't get it
to install libmp4v2.so (I needed it for easytag - I had some m4a files
with broken metadata) so I downloaded mp4v2
http://code.google.com/p/mp4v2/ and used that (easytag still needed some
hacking but I got there in the end). Then I turned my attention to faac.
To get it to use the external libmp4v2 I had to:
sed -i '/xternal /aMY_DEFINE(HAVE_LIBMP4V2)\
LIBS="-lmp4v2 $LIBS"' configure.in &&
./bootstrap &&
sed -i 's:mp4\.h:mp4v2/mp4v2.h:' {configure,frontend/main.c}
Then it was just: ./configure --prefix=/usr; make; make install
The glibc patch is only needed if you use the libmp4v2 included in the
faac source. I find this sed is easier than a patch:
sed -i 's/strcasestr/str_casestr/' common/mp4v2/mpeg4ip{,_win32}.h

The instructions in BLFS assume that you're starting from an LFS system. They do not list things installed while completing the LFS build as dependencies.

gcc builds fine for me with no lib64->lib symlink. Before I compile it
I run this sed inside the gcc source:
sed -i 's:\.\./lib64::;s/lib64/lib/' gcc/config/i386/{linux64.h,t-linux64}
I also s/lib64/lib/ during the gcc -dumpspecs. glibc needs a sed too:
sed -i 's|/lib64|/lib|' sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/configure

As DJ Lucas said the other day, it's possible to fix some things with the 2to3 tool included with python 3. However, there are quite a lot of things out there that would need fixing so I personally install both Python-2.7.2 and Python-3.2.2 with 2.7.2 as the default /usr/bin/python. It's a bit like with gtk+-3, more things are starting to use gtk+-3 but I think it'll be a while before I stop installing gtk+-2 Andy -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page

I'm not sure what you mean there. Do you mean compile Firefox to use an
external npapi? Greping through the output of ./configure --help I can
see no mention of npapi.
When I compile gnash-0.8.9 I configure it
--with-npapi-incl=/usr/include/firefox-8.0

That seems to be pretty recent. I've tried links-2.3. It compiles and runs fine with libpng-1.5.5. It didn't need patching. ldd shows it is linked to libpng.

Current Firefox from mercurial needs to be fixed to build against current libvpx from git, but it's quite happy with libvpx-0.9.7-p1. The current Firefox configure script tests the libvpx headers for a variable that was renamed in September, it can be fixed with: sed -i 's#VPX_CODEC_USE_INPUT_PARTITION#VPX_CODEC_USE_INPUT_FRAGMENTS#' \ configure Andy -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page

gtk+-2.24, gtk+-3.2 and gdk-pixbuf
Hello, I'd like to update Audacious to the current version, 3.0.4, but Audacious depends of gtk. It can build against either gtk-+2 or gtk-+3. The version of gtk-+2 that we have in the book, 2.20.1 is quite old so before I update Audacious I'd like to update gtk-+2 to the current version, 2.24.8. gtk+-2.24 depends on gdk-pixbuf which isn't in the book so before I can update Audacious or gtk I need to add gdk-pixbuf to the book. Audacious prefers gtk+-3 so I'd like to add that to the book as well. So my plan is: add gdk-pixbuf-2.24.0 update gtk+-2 to 2.24.8 update Audacious to 3.0.4 and build it against gtk+-2 add gtk+-3.2.2 update Audacious to recommend gtk+-3 Would that be OK? I know there is an issue about the book growing ever larger, but more and more things are using gtk+-3 so I think we need to add it to the book.

I agree these things should be fixed. The coreutils thing is an LFS problem but can be fixed by passing --libexecdir=/usr/lib to configure. I've not installed cups-1.5.0 yet so I can't comment. Glib can be made to put it's bash completion scripts in /etc passing --sysconfdir=/etc to configure. Glib also puts a header file, glibconfig.h into /usr/lib/glib-2.0/include. Moving that into /usr/include requires seds to the glib/Makefile and the pkg-config pc file. It also affects some other things like gobject-introspection which has the path to glibconfig.h hard coded in 2 Makefiles. gtk+-2 does a similar thing with a header but moving that one doesn't cause any problems for anything else.

It looks like udevd is not running. Udev 174 and 175 install udevd
into /usr/libexec which is not in the ${PATH} for the bootscripts.
mv /usr/libexec/udevd /sbin and see if that helps.

Maybe we should install it in somewhere like /opt so it doesn't
interfere with /usr/bin/man? I still think that if it's
overwriting /usr/bin/man it should be commented out of the book until
it's been fixed.

I just use ffmpeg as a dependency for other things (lots of things use it). For me, I just use it for watching or listening to things encoded by other people but I know from your emails to the lists that you use it to encode videos. I build ffmpeg in a separate object directory and configure it: --enable-shared --disable-static --enable-postproc --enable-gpl and that does everything I need. When I rip a cd I encode it to m4a with faac and mp3 with lame. I think if I update the the ffmpeg page in BLFS I will use the options that work for me but discuss the options you've outlined above in the "Command Explanations" section; so I you want all these encoder options to be the default in the book you should update the page yourself. I think you should. I think you know more about it than me. I can help fix the breakage that ffmpeg-0.8 will introduce to other things.

I don't think you can blame xz for this. 1.2GB is a huge file. I get: andy@eccles:~$ time tar -xf texlive-20110705-texmf.tar.xz real2m0.428s user1m30.334s sys 0m5.243s So far, the same as you.

I suspect that much of the time is taken doing disk input/output. As I understand it the LZMA2 algorithm is slow to compress (and uses a lot of RAM) but is moderately quick (and uses a moderate amount of RAM) to decompress. The smaller file size for downloads makes it worth the extra time it takes to compress the archive in the first place. FWIW if I'm backing up a partition I don't compress it at all as I'm not short of disk space, I just use tar to make it into a single file.

Doh! I see, texk/kpathsea/texmf.cnf in the texlive source.
Running the sed on the first one got me past that problem, but now at
updmap-sys I get:
root@eccles:/home/andy$ updmap-sys

I can see TeXLive/TLUtils.pm in the texlive-20110705-source but Bruce's

mkdir /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.14.1/TeXLive
cp utils/biber/TeXLive/*.pm /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.14.1/TeXLive
After that the rest of the "Configuring TeX Live" commands worked.
However, when I come to try and use it:
andy@eccles:~$ tex example1.tex
This is TeX, Version 3.1415926 (TeX Live 2011 - BLFS)
fatal: memory exhausted (xmalloc of 18446744071586067984 bytes).
It appears it's trying to allocate 17179869182.02 gigabytes of memory.
It could well be user error on my part but I still have the impression
that this is a steaming pile of unmaintained rubbish.

Hello, When I try to install nspr-4.8.9 configure fails like so: checking for pthread_create in -lpthreads... no checking for pthread_create in -lpthread... no checking for pthread_create in -lc_r... no checking for pthread_create in -lc... no configure: error: --with-pthreads specified for a system without pthread support looking at config.log I see:configure:5934: checking for pthread_create in -lpthread gcc -m32 -o dummy dummy.c -Wall -lpthread In file included from /usr/include/features.h:382:0, from /usr/include/pthread.h:23, from dummy.c:2: /usr/include/gnu/stubs.h:7:27: fatal error: gnu/stubs-32.h: No such file or directory compilation terminated. The problem is the -m32 switch, it doesn't work on an x86_64 system. If I take out the -m32 that out then the command succeeds: sed -i 's# -m32##' configure With that sed the build succeeds and installs, but is it wise? There must be a reason that they make the CC command CC="$CC -m32" Either we sed configure to remove -m32, we stop using the --with-pthreads option or we only use the the --with-pthreads option on i386.

I think this is an issue that's common to all gtk2 applications so I'm not going to write about it on the Firefox page.

Fernando de Oliveira has just made a good point about this on BLFS Support. If we put plugins in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins they'll be found by all Mozilla products including Thunderbird. This raises security concerns, if there is an exploitable bug in a plugin. I seem to recall that there were some problems with Adobe's pdf plugin. Certainly flash has its bugs. Whatever. The bugs are all there in the browser. If the user wants an email application that can render html they may well like to have plugins enabled too. Personally I prefer Sylpheed because it doesn't render html but each to their own. What do other people think? Should I change the Firefox/Xulrunner pages so they don't suggest putting the plugins in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins?

FWIW, I can build llvm without static libs like so:
./configure --prefix=/usr
# Don't build static libraries:
sed -i 's#BUILD_ARCHIVE :*= 1#NO_BUILD_ARCHIVE = 1#' \
$(grep -rl 'BUILD_ARCHIVE :*= 1' .)
# Build shared libraries:

/LIBRARYNAME/a SHARED_LIBRARY = 1' {} \;
# Remove some hard coded static libs. Use shared libs instead:

do sed -i 's#.* \([^ ]*[ert]\)\.a#LDFLAGS = -l\1#' ${thing}

I'll update pango tomorrow I'm starting to have second thoughts about this. I looked at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pango which says that the current stable version of Pango is 1.29.5 but then I looked at http://www.gtk.org/documentation.php and the links there seem to suggest that pango-1.29 is unstable and pango-1.28 is the stable series. Personally I've been using pango-1.29.3 for months and I'm not aware of any bus in it, but then I'm English and Pango is for laying out international text. So what do people think, is it Ok to put pango-1.29 in the book? gtk+-3.2 requires pango-1.29. gtk+-3.2.2 is the current stable version of gtk+-3. It's a contradiction. Advice please.

Jolly good, glad you got it working. I'm still using gnash-0.8.9. It
needs some of the headers from the firefox source:
mkdir /usr/include/npapi
cp dom/plugins/base/*.h /usr/include/npapi
Then I can compile gnash-0.8.9 like so:

patch -p1 < ../gnash-0.8.9-ffmpeg.patch
# sed fix needed for firefox-8.0:
sed -i 's#^char#const char#' plugin/npapi/{mozilla-sdk/np_entry,plugin}.cpp

Oops, sorry, that was copy and pasted from one of my scripts and I didn't notice it. getconf is installed by glibc. getconf _NPROCESSORS_ONLN returns the number of processors your computer has, or appears to have (on a hyperthreading intel CPU with only one core it will appear to have 2 cores due to hyperthreading). The -j option to make runs multiple jobs in parallel, this is useful if you have multiple CPU cores as it can use all the cores and speed up the build. So make -j$(getconf _NPROCESSORS_ONLN) runs make and adjusts the number of jobs it runs according to the system it is running on. This is useful if the script is to be run on several different machines.

done
make -j4
make install
make check gives:

Unfortunately there were a couple of errors in what I posted earlier.

[blfs-dev] Packages for BLFS
Hello, There are quite a few packages that I use every day that are not in BLFS. I think it's a shame that they're not in the book so I've started to knock up example pages that show what a BLFS page might look like for them. The first 4 are: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/~andy/BLFS/vte2_90.html This is the gkt+-3 version of vte that's already in the book. It can be installed in parallel with vte-0.28 as it adds 2_90 to the ends of the names of everything it installs. This will have to go into the book when Gnome 3 is added. I've written a page for it as it's used by Roxterm: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/~andy/BLFS/roxterm.html Roxterm is basically gnome terminal without the need to install Gnome. What's not to like? http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/~andy/BLFS/openbox.html Openbox is a lightweight window manager, much like Fluxbox. I like it 'cos I can launch all the programs I use from the right click menu which is configured with a simple xml file in ~/config/openbox http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/~andy/BLFS/rox-filer.html Rox is a simple, lightweight gtk+-2 file browser. Give them a try. I think they all deserve to be added to the book.

I think if we wait until someone has prepared perfect pages for the whole of Gnome 3 before we add it to the book then it will never happen. Put some sort of note at the top of all the pages that need improving/finishing and then we can update a page at a time and inch towards getting it done. Something like: This page is a work in progress and all the details have not been checked. Then as we work through we can remove the note from pages that have been checked. One page at a time.

[blfs-dev] gimp
Hello Ken, Thanks for updating the gimp, it was on my todo list but I wanted to update webkit first as the gimp uses it to view the help files. At least, it does for me, however, I don't see webkit mentioned on the gimp page as an optional dependency? Should I add it to the gimp page when I've updated webkit (in a couple of days) Also, the 2 patches on the page are a 404 page not found error for me at the moment.

Yes, if both gtk+-2 and gtk+-3 are installed, webkit defaults to building against gtk+-3. To build against gtk+-2 use the configure option --with-gtk=2.0 Everything it installs is suffixed with a -1.0 whereas with gtk+-3 everything is suffixed with a -3.0 so they can both be installed in parallel, like gtk+-2 and gtk+-3 themselves > > I build the gimp long before I touch the gnome applications, but > even after webkit-gtk has been installed, the log from the gimp's > configure shows - > > checking for X11/xpm.h... yes > checking for WEBKIT... no I think if you read the configure script it's looking for webkit-1.0 > checking for SVG... yes > > PS - since I'm talking about the gimp now - PyGTK appears to be > broken, probably by glib-2.30. pygobject-2.28.6 crapped out with > > pygi-info.c: In function '_pygi_info_new': > pygi-info.c:165:14: error: 'GI_INFO_TYPE_ERROR_DOMAIN' undeclared > (first use in this function) I think that this GI stuff is gobject introspection brokeness. pygobject-2.28.6 installs fine for me with --disable-introspection > > pygobject-3.0.2 is fine, but it installs pygobject-3.0.pc - > pygtk-2.24.0 is looking for pygobject-2.0.pc. 3.0.2 is in Wayne's > gnome3 packages, I assume it gets used by something.

I think Mesa needs --with-gallium-drivers=nouveau, you need to install the driver xf86-video-nouveau which is only available through git, you need to recompile your kernel to enable the kernel part of the nouveau stack and you need to put driver=nouveau in your xorg.conf. It's a bit of hastle to get it all set up but once you do it makes recompiling the kernel a lot easier because the code is in the kernel. The Nvidia closed source blob makes recompiling the kernel such a pain! I think the nouveau people have done an excellent job. It's all open source. I stopped buying Nvidia hardware because they won't pay for a developer to work on nouveau.

I think reinstalling a newer version of xorg would break pango and cairo and everything that depends on them (ie, pretty much anything that uses xorg). Command line programs would work but trying to get any GUI things working again would be a nightmare. You'd have a mass of things in /usr that were compiled against the old xorg. Reinstalling the apps may work, but they may try to link against the old broken stuff. If you want to reinstall xorg it's easier to just redo the whole system than to try and deal with the brokeness.

So starx is a simple script that ends up calling xinit.

Kernel mode setting is enabled by default when you select the nouveau
driver in you kernel config. With some drivers (eg the radeon ati one)
you get a choice whether top have KMS enabled by default, but even then
you can enable or disable it with a kernel command line option. KMS is
incompatible with the Nvidia binary blob.
> LOL. And you think the binary nvidia install is hard!
Yes, I've always found the Nvidia driver to be a PITA because it makes
recompiling the kernel much more compilcated.

I've figured it out in the bath. the -i and the -r need to be separated.
This works without the brackets escaped:
find -name Makefile -exec \
sed -i -r -e '/^LIBRARYNAME/a SHARED_LIBRARY = 1'\
-e 's#BUILD_ARCHIVE :*= 1#NO_&#' \
-e '/^USEDLIBS/s# ([A-Za-z]*).a# -l\1#g' \
-e 's#^USEDLIBS#LDFLAGS#' {} \;

[blfs-dev] Geany and Sylpheed
Hello, I've written a couple of new pages for 2 packages I think should be in the book. Both use gtk+-2 but have few other dependencies. I use them every day and think they're excellent.

Another option (which works for me) is to configure dbus:
--with-system-socket=/run/dbus_socket --with-system-pid-file=/run/dbus.pid

On my system I start dbus with a bootscript, I can see it in ps aux as: dbus-daemon --system but I also see: dbus-launch --autolaunch 465105239381aefc38f1f5e2020d --binary-syntax --close-stderr and: /usr/bin/dbus-daemon --fork --print-pid 5 --print-address 7 --session so it seems that something that uses it (notification-daemon?) uses dbus-launch to spawn another dbus-daemon for the session even though there is one running for the system. I don't think the system one is needed. Andy -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page

I don't think it has a role (and is probably a potential security risk) on a server.
