Re: ripit/perl: use perl_cddb_get package?

2019-12-18 Thread Sam
Thank you for your time, but I am afraid I have wasted it.
The perl module dirs are set in a env variable in bash's files, and for that 
reason my fish couldn't find them. (Also the syntax isn't compatible so I you 
to copy them out, which is quite annoying).
So in a way it's fixed now ^^"
Thanks anyway!

Re: ripit/perl: use perl_cddb_get package?

2019-11-09 Thread Sam

Hey marc, thanks for answering.


   perl -E 'map say, grep -d, @INC'

should provide a direcory that contains CDDB_get.pm

This seems to be the problem, it returned:
$ perl -E 'map say, grep -d, @INC'
/gnu/store/ziinjmbnq004866mwjrczsk12wf35qb8-perl-5.30.0/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.30.0/x86_64-linux-thread-multi
/gnu/store/ziinjmbnq004866mwjrczsk12wf35qb8-perl-5.30.0/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.30.0
/gnu/store/ziinjmbnq004866mwjrczsk12wf35qb8-perl-5.30.0/lib/perl5/5.30.0/x86_64-linux-thread-multi
/gnu/store/ziinjmbnq004866mwjrczsk12wf35qb8-perl-5.30.0/lib/perl5/5.30.0

But
$ find /gnu/store/*perl* -iname "CDDB_get.pm"
/gnu/store/7n8rdqbx25801ypj38bywacbicmsc2ns-perl-cddb-get-2.28/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.28.0/CDDB_get.pm
/gnu/store/mg8qgzi0v2his2xld1zkb8x7p5lf3v6m-perl-cddb-get-2.28/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.30.0/CDDB_get.pm

I then copied the perl script and manually pointed to the dir (use lib 
'/gnu/store/mg8qgzi0v2his2xld1zkb8x7p5lf3v6m-perl-cddb-get-2.28/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.30.0/';) 
and the error got replaced by a different one, but with the same cause 
(this time it was about "LWP::Simple", I tried the same trick, but 
apparently this module is not part of perl-http-daemon).
So it seems like the problem is that this perl script package can't see 
the installed perl modules?
I am unsure if this is a bug, thinking about opening an issue because at 
least without cddb_get, the package won't work.


Any input is appreciated.

Thanks,
Sam



ripit/perl: use perl_cddb_get package?

2019-11-08 Thread Sam

Hey,
so I wanted to use ripit to make backups of my audio cds, but when 
trying to use it at first, it said:


Perl module CDDB_get not found. Needed for
checking the CD-ID and retrieving the CDDB
entry from freeDB.org!
Please install CDDB_get from your closest
CPAN mirror before trying again.
Install by hand or e.g. type as root:
perl -MCPAN -e 'install CDDB_get'

So I obviously installed perl-cddb-get with guix, but the error message 
persisted, and I think installing it the way ripit asks is not the 
"guix-way".
As I never hacked with perl and am pretty new to guix, I am unsure if I 
did something wrong.


Is there anyone who got ripit to work or has pointers?

Thanks
Sam



Boost with C++14

2018-12-23 Thread Sam Varner
Hi all,

When compiling my own code with gcc 8.2.0 I get "undefined reference to
`boost::system::detail::generic_category_instance'" unless I use
-std=c++11.  Word on the net is that I need to use boost libraries
compiled for C++14. 

'guix edit boost' shows boost and boost-cxx14 packages.  I see that
other packages use the latter with (inputs `((boost ,boost-cxx14))).
How do I link the C++14 variant with my code?  Thanks.
