Slackware 15.0 64 - Is it possible to install and run DarlingHQ ?

glupa4e · 01-02-2024, 02:14 AM

Hello,
i am interested in running this Mac Software Emulation on Slackware. Do you think it would be possible. Unfortunately i do not find dependencies listed here neither on slackbuilds.org, nor on slackpkg. Any idea where i could get those dependencies from?
thanks!

Looking at the dependency lists given for other distros, I think most of those things are on a Slackware full install already. And of course Slackware doesn't need all those separate -dev packages; they're included with the libraries.

The best way to find out if there is anything else you need is to carry out the build. The configuration script (or cmake or meson if it uses one of those rather than a script) will check that dependencies are met, and should stop with a warning if it finds anything missing.

i tried following commands from their installation page

Code:

# Make a build directory
mkdir build && cd build

# Configure the build
cmake ..

# Build and install Darling
make
sudo make install

when executing make i get the below error

Code:

darling/build# make

all commands prior make went without any errors

do you have libbsd from SBo installed?

Hi, I think you need to install libbsd.

why am i getting error for 32b library when i have a 64b installation

rizitis · 01-04-2024, 09:52 AM

@glupa4e this "package" is a very complicate situation... maybe you can try the binary package first how it runs in Slackware?

hazel · 01-04-2024, 09:59 AM

Emulators tend to need 32-bit stuff to run 32-bit programs even when the underlying system is 64-bit. I just checked your original link, and those builds for various 64-bit distros include several 32-bit libraries.

glupa4e · 01-04-2024, 10:02 AM

@rizitis, i am sorry but i do not know how to proceed, perhaps you could write some commands for dummies?
i assume i'll have to check that repo out and then , what do i have to do, do i need a special git command ?
now i am trying to install whatever i can understand from depends on section

To build Darling on x86_64 you will need to have multilib packages installed. Alternatively, you can install darling-bin based on Debian

Maybe only the core multilib from Alien Bob is necessary and not the full multilib install.

Dont need 32libs

Well, there's the solution. Make an emulator that only runs 64-bit programs and you won't need 32-bit libraries. Brilliant!

i started making the above while during configuring i disabled 32b libraries. now i am getting following error

the above appears many times one after another in the console and after that something related to sqlite - i do not get it why there is something taken from python-2.7. instead of py3 which is listed as a dependency.
well how to be able to figure out all deps that i am still missing?

rizitis · 01-05-2024, 04:00 PM

Errors you have , has to do with Vulkan...
building this package is very complicate...

These are the runtime deps according to aur:

Code:

    cairo: libcairo2
    dbus: libdbus-1-3
    ffmpeg: ffmpeg
    freetype2: libfreetype6
    fuse2: libfuse2
    giflib: libgif7
    glibc: libc6
    glu: libglu1-mesa
    libgl: libgl1-mesa-glx
    libglvnd: libglvnd0
    libjpeg-turbo: libjpeg-turbo8
    libpng: libpng16-16
    libpulse: libpulse0
    libtiff: libtiff5
    libx11: libx11-6
    libxcursor: libxcursor1
    libxext: libxext6
    libxkbfile: libxkbfile1
    libxrandr: libxrandr2

Since Slackware thank God and Pat, dont split libs to lib-> (lib-1 lib-dev lib-wtf) you only have to install the original name of every lib from SBo (if its not already in your installation).
Then try to extract the deb binary package and see if it working or what errors you have.
this is a "slackbuild" version of aur-pkgbuild fro Darling-bin
save it and run it...

Code:

#!/bin/bash

# SlackBuild script for Darling (binary)

# create workspace
mkdir -p /tmp/DARLING-BIN
cd /tmp/DARLING-BIN || exit
rm -r * || true


PRGNAM=darling
VERSION=0.1.20230310
ARCH=${ARCH:-x86_64}
BUILD=${BUILD:-1}

TAG=${TAG:-_YOURTAG}

# building and output will be all here in the same folder
TMP="$(pwd)"
echo "$TMP"
echo "is your workspace..."
PKG=$TMP/package-$PRGNAM
OUTPUT="$TMP"

# repo link
SRCURL=https://github.com/darlinghq/darling
# repo package version
DEBURL=$SRCURL/releases/download/v${VERSION}_update_sources_11_5/darling_${VERSION}.jammy_amd64.deb
# binary code in deb packages are in data.tar.zst
DATA_ARCHIVE=${ARCHIVE}_data.tar.zst

# Download source
wget -c $DEBURL
set -e
# Extract deb, data.tar.zst create '$PKG' and move precompiled files in
ar x darling_0.1.20230310.jammy_amd64.deb
zstd -d data.tar.zst
mkdir -p $PKG
tar xf data.tar -C $PKG/

# remove not needed files from deb extract as deb itself too.
rm *deb data.tar.zst control.tar.zst debian-binary
# Create a slackware package
cd $PKG || exit
PKGNAME=$PRGNAM-$VERSION-$ARCH-$BUILD$TAG
makepkg -l n -c n $OUTPUT/$PKGNAME.txz

cd "$TMP" 
echo "check these files:"
ls
echo ""
echo "If you look now at $PKGNAME.txz and the extracted data.tar in $PKG," 
echo "you will see that they are exactly the same as package-darling folder"
echo "Happy 'hacking'!"

It builds fine, in theory, but I dont know if it working... if you know how to run Darling you will find
