devx.sfs for Lupu528 & Precise571
devx.sfs for Lupu528 & Precise571
Hello.
I hope this is the correct forum for my question.
I've been using Lupu528 for several years and have been amazed at how it always works on the dozen or so machines I've used it on (mostly for recovery issues and learning about Linux).
I've long wanted to teach myself how to compile applications from source, since there are a few apps I want that I cannot find packages for.
Today I started. I installed (frugal) lupu_528.sfs + lupu_devx_528-4.sfs and was able to get both of the "Hello World" examples at http://bkhome.org/genie/index.html working.
Then I installed (frugal) puppy_precise_5.7.1.sfs + devx_precise_5.7.1.sfs and it does not work. When I type "valac hello.gs" I get the error message "bash: valac: command not found".
I have the 571 devx sfs configured to load at bootup.
I apologize if there is a FAQ for devx installation and use issues; I could not find it.
Thank you.

Maybe this is explaining why there is no vala in precise5.7.1http://bkhome.org/genie/index.html wrote:NOTICE
These Genie/Vala pages are no longer being updated, as I have defected. I have found BaCon to be more suited to my purposes: http://bkhome.org/bacon/
Why not use BaCon?

Duh. How did I miss that ??http://bkhome.org/genie/index.html wrote:NOTICE

Most likely.Maybe this is explaining why there is no vala in precise5.7.1
Actually, I'm not presently interested in writing my own apps.Why not use BaCon?
I was just testing to see if the sfs was installed correctly.
What I actually am interested in are existing apps for which the source code is available, but there is no available binary distro for Puppy.
Can someone point me to a FAQ or a tutorial that walks me through a simple example of taking downloaded source code and compiling it into a working app in Lupu 528 or Precise 571 or Slacko57?
The app I am ultimately interested in is CVXOPT

If you'd rather not build >> binaries. Any deps could be worked out with (L)ldd.

Thank you. I eventually figured that out.8-bit wrote:Just jumping in here to answer "What are deps".
Deps or dep is short for dependencies.
When you get the source code for an application, you may find that the developer has used various other support files needed for compiling the source into an application.
When you're new at something, jargon and abbreviations and incomplete sentences can be a real impediment to learning.
