April Meegint Notes

[Terry]

Our meeting went astray just a bit, didn't have internet and we got sidetracked in a couple of directions, so I'll try to make up for it with these notes:
I failed to describe the process for installing the 32bit libraries on a Slackware64-14.1 system, but it's fairly simple. This first command will download all that you need into a directory "14.1", doing it as root into the / directory is just fine IMO
lftp -c 'open http://slackware.com/~alien/multilib/ ; mirror -c -e 14.1'
And then:
cd 14.1
Now just upgrade your 64bit Slackware gcc and glibc packages to their multilib versions by running the command:
upgradepkg --reinstall --install-new *.t?z
Next, we install the 32-bit compatibility packages:
upgradepkg --install-new slackware64-compat32/*-compat32/*.t?z
(You'll also install a new package called "compat32-tools".) Which gives you the ability to attain a 32bit environment with command:
. /etc/profile.d/32dev.sh
(This enables you to compile 32bit software.)
If you use slackpkg, you need to blacklist gcc and glibc packages with following lines in /etc/slackpkg/blacklist
[0-9]+alien
[0-9]+compat32
(Otherwise, you'll clober all your gcc and glibc multilib packages with the pure 64 bit ones.)

We also discussed bombono-dvd for creating DVD from video from video files:
For installing bombono-dvd on Slackware64-14.1 here is the [dependency] list in order, (just fire up sbopkg and add these packages in this order and you'll have it).
lame-3.99.5-x86_64
x264-20131101-x86_64
twolame-0.3.13-x86_64
ffmpeg-2.1-x86_64_custom
pangomm-2.34.0-x86_64
libsigc++-2.2.11-x86_64
cairomm-1.10.0-x86_64
glibmm-2.36.2-x86_64
mm-common-0.9.6-noarch
atkmm-2.22.7-x86_64
scons-2.3.1-x86_64
gtkmm-2.24.4-x86_64
libxml++-2.36.0-x86_64
mjpegtools-2.1.0-x86_64-
dvdauthor-0.7.1-x86_64

So your bombono-dvd queue for sbopkg will look like this:

lame
x264
ffmpeg
twolame
pangomm
libsigc++
cairomm
glibmm
mm-common
atkmm
scons
gtkmm
libxml++
mjpegtools
dvdauthor
bombono-dvd

The sbopkg queue files are in /var/lib/sbopkg/queues/ and are *.sqf files. Mine was /var/lib/sbopkg/queues/bombono-dvd.sqf and it will be exactly as you see above, just a list with one package name per line. Load up the files into a sbopkg queue, pull the trigger and go have a cup of coffee.
