Implementing apt in Slitaz?
  • SergioSergio July 2010
    I wish to know if it's possible to implement apt-get in Slitaz, using, for example, the Debian or Ubuntu repository.
    I ask this because, unfortunately, the repository of Slitaz has some issues, for example:
    - The java jre don't work;
    - The dpkg don't work.

    Thanks

    Why want you to implement a repository of packages you can not install ?
  • SergioSergio July 2010
    My major problem at this point is how to:
    1 - install a new kernel (I am trying to make Slitaz work in a Ebox3300 and It doesn't have suport for the wireless Via VT6655 card);
    2 - I need to instal the jre package (the one in repository doesn't work - this is why I though about havint Slitaz working with an alternative repository).

    Sun java6-jre installer is working.
    Install the get script
    root@slitaz: tazpkg get-install get-java6-jre

    Run the get script to download,make tazpkg,install tazpkg,delete tazpkg
    root@slitaz: get-java6-jre

    By default the get-script deletes the tazpkg after the install.
    Don't want to download java again,my internet has download cap.
    Repack the tazpkg to install java on my other computer running slitaz.
    root@slitaz: tazpkg repack java6-jre

    Ok, I will test it.
    Last time I used the package manager, it wasn't working (last week).
    And what about the kernel with the support for the Via vt6655?
    I can compile the kernel, but how can I install it?
    Thank you for your help.

    The make commands include 'make install' after you create the kernel 'bzImage' to copy it your /boot directory. You'll have to include in the GRUB menu manually.
    Likewise there exists a make modules_install command to copy the modules over to /usr/include.

    The documentation has a page (which I may improve should I have time):
    => http://doc.slitaz.org/en:guides:kernel

    HIH.
  • SergioSergio July 2010
    Thanks, seawolf, I will try this.
  • SergioSergio July 2010
    I instaled the java jre and it worked using the script you indicated.
    I also tried to install the kernel sources and compile it, but am getting an error.
    I did this (as in the doc you mention before):
    #tazpkg get-install slitaz-toolchain
    #tazpkg get-install ncurses-dev
    #tazpkg get-install perl
    #tazpkg get-install linux-source

    After that:
    #cd /usr/src/linux
    #make oldconfig

    At this point I got an error:
    #gcc: /lib/libc.so.6: version 'GLIBC_2.11' not found (required by gcc)
    So, I did:
    #tazpkg get-install libc
    The system installed the glibc.2.11 but, when I try agaun to compile the kernel, I get the same answer:
    #gcc: /lib/libc.so.6: version 'GLIBC_2.11' not found (required by gcc)

    So, I tried to make:
    #tazpkg get-install libc --forced
    and got:
    Unable to find: glib_c2.11 in the mirrored package list.

    Any ideas?
  • seawolfseawolf July 2010
    The package is glibc, not libc; have you the glibc-base and glibc-dev packages installed? Try the --forced get-install with them.

    Can you `make menuconfig` okay? If so, you can use the default SliTaz kernel config from the repos. Depending on whether you are running:
    Stable - http://hg.slitaz.org/wok-stable/file/7397e9c01da1/linux/stuff/linux-2.6.30.6-slitaz.config
    Cooking - http://hg.slitaz.org/wok/file/1ed09465c0ae/linux/stuff/linux-2.6.34-slitaz.config

    Use the 'Load Alternate Config File' option to load and then customise it.
  • SergioSergio July 2010
    Ok.
    Are you the main responsable for Slitaz?
    If so, I wish to know if you are interested in having a mirror for Slitaz.
    If yes, send me a private message.
  • SergioSergio July 2010
    I instaled the glibc base and dev.
    I downloaded the config file you indicated (the stable one), but the file is not a .config but an html page, in which there is the config listing. Is there any place where to find the .config file?
  • seawolfseawolf July 2010
    Yes, it's via the 'raw' link to the right. Sorry, I should have pointed to ...wok/raw-file/... instead of .../wok/file/... in the link!

    Oh I'm just an end-user. I re-spin SliTaz, custom kernel etc., so have gotten to know a bit of the under-the-hood stuff.

Howdy, Stranger!
