What PETs work with what versions of Puppy?
What PETs work with what versions of Puppy?
I'm a newbie *bares chest with n00b tatoo on it* I would like to ask for help, I just didn't know where to put these doubts and hoped a mod would sort in the proper place. Hope you can help =)
About pets (aka little plugins-extensions-programs that add more functionality to the OS)
1. What does it mean for a .PET to be compiled in a particular OS&revision of that OS to the end user (eg 'compiled in wary5.0' 'compiled in racy 5.25' etc)?
2. Are .PETs interchangeable between puppies? (eg something compiled for Slacko would work on wary?)
3. A .PET compiled on 'puppy4.2.x' would work on Wary5.0?
4. .PETs compiled in a higher revision of a dev line would in a lower revision of that dev line? (eg say revision 5.1 or 5.1.1 or even Wary Puppy 5.2.2's PET would work on wary puppy 5.0?)
Thank you in advance, and here's hoping I made myself clear without repeting myself much.
PD: tiny request? .PET of audacious for wary5.0 please (the ones on the board gave me missing libraries (which I'll post the moment I get a chance) Reason to this is to find a way to play module file formats on linux/puppy. There is no xmplay on linux afaik.

Pets should never be assumed interchangeable between versions. Sometimes it works - sometimes not.
An older pet is more likely to work on a newer puppy than the reverse.
When you compile a package, it looks at all the specifics of your OS and builds the program customized for that OS. Simpler programs need fewer specifics than complex ones - so simple stuff tends to be more portable.

I built this on Saluki - it hopefully should work on wary5.

It needs dbus and dbus-glib

Missing libraries (horrible settings for the png btw) http://img832.imageshack.us/img832/6590/missingh.png

What would be next besides trying to find the missing libraries? This is on a machine with no internet access, and no hdd (my os and applications are fixed so to speak meaning that I can't add to the current CD more updated files) I bring this up in hope that those libraries (or the files needed could be loaded as pet in the sense that the OS will load from pendrive instead of CD certain files. Wonder if a restart of the current system used in RAM could be used...(for sfs/devx loading)

Puppy Linux

OT
Found an audacious pet with a -w5.pet on the site (or its repositories, can't find where atm). But the label means it was compiled within wary, whish is the branch I'm using.
Working fine all around.
Phew, finding pets for older setups is difficult even with all the community help.
@lobster I'm really n00b, or I'm too used to windows and its hierarchy system, and it's ways and conceptions...yuk! Slowly getting used to this new naming scheme&hierarchy.

Audacious 3.7.2 will run only with Xenialpup 7.0.2 as GTK3
2016 : Audacious 3.7.2 will run only with Xenialpup 7.0.2 as GTK3 needed.
However, our french compiler Medor did a version Audacious 3.7.2 Gtk2 for his Slaxen (Slacko 5.9.3)

Re: What PETs work with what versions of Puppy?
mine are in python, so if you install in tahr they work; but if you install in a puppy without python, you will also need the dev sfs. or python 2, which the dev sfs provides.anewuser wrote:Are .PETs interchangeable between puppies? (eg something compiled for Slacko would work on wary?)
