[SOLVED] slackpkg.conf AARCH=? multiple values or wildcard?

glorsplitz · 01-02-2023, 02:39 PM

hi, in couple *.Slackbuild I added
aarch64*) ARCH=arm ;;
and to couple other I might have done
aarch64*) ARCH=aarch64 ;;
so that when slackpkg clean-system runs it selects *arm*_SBO but not aarch64-*_SBo

from slackpkg.conf

Quote:

# Select the architecture of your system. Valid values are:
# i#86 (where # is 3, 4, 5 or 6)
# x86_64
# s390
# arm* (* can be v4, v5tejl, and other ARM versions)
# aarch64
# powerpc
#
# The line is commented because slackpkg will try to find your
# architecture automagically. If you want to override what slackpkg
# finds, put the value after the = and uncomment this line
ARCH=aarch64

is it possible to have ARCH=aarch64 arm* or something similar?

EDIT: NO, I played with a few combinations, seems to have to be single value, commenting that line uses uname -m which is aarch64
workaround 1: if I'm going to play around with *.Slackbuild do this " aarch64*) ARCH=aarch64 ;;"
workaround 2: rename *arm*_SBO to aarch64-*_SBo

I don't add many slackbuilds but occasionally dabble, so I have little experience to know any better.

The notes in slackpkg's config file predate Slackware AArch64. 'arm' is always for 32bit ARM.
I've made a note to have it changed.

I cover editing the SlackBuild scripts here.
Basically, all you need to do is exchange the match for 'x86_64' with 'aarch64', or add a separate match for 'aarch64'.
If the package won't compile with -fPIC, it'll tell you and you can remove it and try again.

cool ducks but no penguin?

as is, without " aarch64) ARCH=arm ;;", ./celt.Slackbuild does this

Quote:

checking build system type... Invalid configuration `aarch64-slackware-linux': machine `aarch64-slackware' not recognized
configure: error: /bin/sh ./config.sub aarch64-slackware-linux failed

and I'm also commenting everything except
SLKCFLAGS="-O2 -fPIC"
LIBDIRSUFFIX="64"
this fixes mpv saying "not found in the pkg-config search path"

and renaming built packages to aarch64 to have "slackpkg clean-system" skip them

Try this in the SlackBuild, AFTER the command to untar the program and then the

cd $PRGNAM-$VERSION
line put this under it:

Code:

cp /usr/share/automake-1.16/config.guess $TMP/$PRGNAM-$VERSION

right above the chown line. It might fix it, if its a super old program, which judging by the website, it's depreciated and obsolete, so it likely is.
