(old)Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

I wrote a timer/alarm clock for fatdog64
Allows multiple alarms to be set easily.
mp3 file can be played to wake you up in morning.


Explained here....

I wanted to do morphing of image so
I made a lazpaint package for fatdog64 710
by converting a deb package.

Just a note on how to get wine emulator to work in fatdog64 710

install http://distro.ibiblio.org/fatdog/sfs/71 ... 64_720.sfs

then install wine
http://distro.ibiblio.org/fatdog/sfs/71 ... i686-1.sfs

C drive is located in /root/.wine/drive_c/ by default

A good place to store files.
/root/.wine/drive_c/users/root/

Install of wine is in /mnt/+aufs+devsave+wine-2+22-i686-1+sfs/opt/wine-2.22/bin/wine

You can launch with terminal command.
Go to the bin folder and type ./wine <app>
https://linux.die.net/man/1/wine

or ______________________________________

A good place to put the binary file is in /root/.wine/drive_c/windows

Then wine will find it automatically i.e. no need to write out complete path.

for instance I use mp3DC, so I type because I put mp3DirectCut.exe in /root/.wine/drive_c/windows

Hello.

So I've been looking for explanations on how to compile software on linux for a while now, and thanks to puppy and fatdog64 I finally have found a good one ! It did clear many things for me on this seemingly esoteric process.

With that said here are two little packages compiled on fatdog64-721 :

redshift 1.12 https://drive.google.com/file/d/1I1OnVS ... YInEX/view

moc 2.5.2 https://drive.google.com/file/d/1PH5q2e ... P0aO5/view

In the hope that it can be useful to some.
(By the way, I'm not used to forums and this is my first post so please excuse any mistakes.)

I made a package of moc as well. It has no dependencies.


moc-2.5.2-x86_64.txz
Size: 265k

I noticed one bug ---> 'shift a' will cause freeze of app
Every thing else worked . h key will list the shortcuts.
TAB key switches panels
V key will save the playlist.
You can launch in terminal with 'mocp' command.

The menu plugin is in /root/Startup
It is possible to control the app with this plugin from bottom tray.

@znekk and @don570, sorry I must have missed something. What's moc? Thank you

edit: I see, MOC, Music On Console, is a text UI music player. Interesting.

Hello step,

Yes MOC stands for music on console, it is a very lightweight player, easy to use, and it runs as a server so you can launch it in the terminal then quit with lowercase "q" and it will keep playing. To stop it completely "shift+q".

Don570,

Strange that you mention this bug, was it with my package or yours? I installed yours and I did not have problems.

Don570,

Strange indeed! I tested in both fatdog 710 and 720 and 'shift a'
would freeze the app , but I should mention that first I must select a folder
on the left panel. Then I press 'shift a'. Check that you have a folder selected, and you are trying to create a playlist with the command 'shift a'.
___________________________________________

By the way , your package had the dependency db I believe,
which is why I needed to compile for my setup.
--------------------------------------------------------

Libdb is a dependency . I'll try to compile with it.

Edit: couldn't compile properly, but there is already compiled version
http://distro.ibiblio.org/fatdog/packag ... 6_64-1.txz
_______________________________________________________

Okay, so I just reinstalled a fresh Fatdog64 and you were right, libdb was needed. I guess I had installed something else before which pulled it in. However I did not have your freezing problem with neither packages. Don't you have any hints from the terminal?

Don't you have any hints from the terminal?

mocp runs from the terminal. It says it is doing the search of folder,
but then it freezes.

...but good news is that when I installed the fatdog libdb package
'shift a' now works. Or maybe it was installing your package.

I probably have a damaged install that caused the problem??

I have compiled a lot and changed a lot of libraries over the last couple of years.
________________________________________________
With the menu plugin I can stop and start the server.
I only need to start it once in the terminal with 'mocp' command.

Document from developper

What Software Is Required To Build It?

Berkeley DB (libdb) version 4 (unless configured with --disable-cache)

That is why I configured with --disable-cache

It appears to work correctly on fresh install

I was looking for something to view/edit large files (see thread). I found on slackbuild: glogg, nedit and bless.

I've compiled globb, nedit. and Bless. glogg worked well for my purposes but nedit didn't (see post). Bless isn't as convenient for view log files because it is a hex editor but works and renders better than wxhexeditor. Here are the slackbuilds (right click to install)::

glogg-1.0.2-x86_64-1_SBo.tgz
nedit-5.6a-x86_64-3_SBo.tgz

and finally bless:
bless-0.6.0-noarch-1_SBo.tgz
bless requires:
libgdiplus-5.4-x86_64-1_SBo.tgz
gtk-sharp-2.12.45-x86_64-1_SBo.tgz
mono-5.0.1.1-x86_64-1_SBo.tgz

Also note that wxhexeditor is available on gsplat and also works for this purpose but the format is much harder to read than glogg and doesn't render as well as bless.

Note that I compiled these on a version of Fatdog721 (with the 721 devX) but my system was upgraded from Fatdog710beta. I installed pkg-config from the package manager because the light version didn't cut it for one of the builds above.

Built from slackbuilds:

apache-ant-1.9.9-noarch-1_SBo.tgz
ant-contrib-0.6-x86_64-1_SBo.tgz

I'm not sure what the second package I built "ant-contrib" is for but I know that apache-ant is used to build java applications and I'm currently using it to try to build openJDK6.

audacious-2.5.1 for fatdog 710 and 720

I was looking for a good audio player and spotted
audacious64-2.5.1.pet , which was available for early versions of fatdog.

I converted it into a proper fatdog package.
I decided to put the libraries into /opt to avoid mixing with more recent libraries.
Then I used a wrapper script to load the libraries separately.

An icon is placed on desktop after a restart of Xwindows.
This is useful to drag audio files to make a playlist.

Available: audacious-2.5.1-x86_64.txz

The most recent experimental versions of Blender won't run on fatdog 710
because a recent version of MESA is required for glibc224 and openGL 2.1

However I found a version that is stable and will run on fatdog 710
http://download.blender.org/release/Ble ... 64.tar.bz2

If anybody interested in Atom Text editor , There is a simple way to get latest version (1.31.1) from their site!

Only download latest version .Deb file and convert it to fatdog package in rox file manager's contexts menu.

I know this convert menu is in there for long time , but this post's importance is that sometimes ago , i am trying hard to do something like that , but unfortunately nothing works. everytime some libraries missed and everything gone wrong. I don't know what's changes during time , but , Now it's possible! Enjoy

///

also I am using 2 little useful apps that came from this .deb to txz converter and maybe useful for you:

Axel // simple terminal download manager
proxychains4 // proxy that can be used for any application and very easy to use.

I dont upload any of them , because convert them is so easy.

If you like axel, you may like the little GUI I made for it.

Wow, Fantastic ...

As you know axel has'nt any download's queue , then, most of the times, i'm using bash's " && " to create queue's alternative! if it's possible to maintain this problem , this script is something more than all enterprise download managers!

After all, Thanks for your great work
