Slaxer_Pup 4.12 solid and stable non woof build

wifi radar needs pygtk and PYTHON to compile that is a big list
note: these were all compiled from source and then packaged as tgz packages
on slaxer-pup also I needed to tweak wifi radar to work in the menu and run

this was a lot of work but if helps you get online its worth it

installs in
Menu >Network>wifi-radar with its GUI

wifi-radar-1.9.9-i486-slxr.tgz click_here
-->pixman-0.12.0-1-i486-slxr.tgz click_here
-->cairo-1.6.4-i486-slxr.tgz click_here
-->pygobject-2.15.4-i486-slxr.tgz click_here
-->pycairo-1.6.4-i486-slxr.tgz click_here
-->pygtk-2.12.1-i486-slxr.tgz click_here

I don't have wifi but I built this for those who do
this is what slackware uses to set up wifi so its well documented and supported
http://wifi-radar.berlios.de/
http://wifi-radar.berlios.de/v1.x/

Note:I know that python and its add ons
are large packages but many special programs require it
for this reason I don't pre install it in slaxer-pup
but offer it as an add on package

*and since future development with puppy wifi is "iffy" to say the least
iit is better to have more solid options and those that have already set up wifi with wifi-radar will feel at home

i dont know anything about it, prehistorics comment just caught my eye because im an Albertan who might be headed up to fort mac next month.

fortmac is short for Fort McMurray, a big dot on the map for its oil and gas industry, and its abundance of Newfies.

welders, fitters, cat skinners, etc fort mac is were the cash is. call your local union hall and get your travel cards. leave your wife at home, she will hate it up there.

i guess this should have been posted somewhere else, sorry.

@big_bass
Please compile the broadcom wifi (wl.ko) (in 2.6.27.7). My comp won't connect to internet without wl.ko. (I can't compile that myself). Please...

Slaxer_Pup uses 4.12 and is a puplet
A new wooflet compilation is being attempted based on 4.3.1
and the emerging Woof build system

Hey Lobster
A Big thanks for the wikka info

in progress
slaxer-pup will focus on compiling all the apps from source
instead of borrowing pre-compiled packages

Yes Joe that is the best way by far, way less deps, smaller file sizes, and more current release numbers.

I would like to see that done to Spup and Dpup, probably shave 15mb off the iso.

Hey vanchutr

give this a try it may take some more tweaking to get it running
but I compiled the module for ya

keep me posted if it works for you I'll add it to the list

UPDATED 10-26-09 small edit to add modprobe wl
to the pinstall.sh

thanks for testing and the feedback

Joe

I will be testing this too.....the ssb module needs removing/blacklisting I believe...and perhaps the b43 too

cheers

@big_bass
Thank you very very much
Your pet help me connect (wife) to internet. I post this with my laptop (emachines - D725 - CPU T4200 - 1Gb RAM.

1. Step 1:
#lsmod
-> To check out what modules are loaded. b43 and b43legacy were'nt loaded (That's OK)
2. Step 2
# modprobe wl
-> No error message -> That's good
3 Step 3
Run network wizard -> See the eth1 interface -> Choose "eth1" -> Choose "AutoDHCP" -> Wait -> OK Save Config .
4. Step 4
Run Pwireless from menu.

Thank you again. Be happy! please

Thank you again. Be happy! please

oh yes...and thanks for your feedback...I had tried slaxer before ...liked it...but had this stumbling block. I would like to see the one-kernel-does-all boogie happening and this is the closest I got

regards

mike

vanchutr

great news I added the line of code modprobe wl to the pinstall

since that worked for you

thanks for listing your steps
-----------------------------------------------------------------

mikeb

I was glad to hear you needed that module also

*its more difficult to set up modules for hardware you don't have this is where testing is so needed thanks

Please check installation of chmsee. I'd met this message (in slaxerpup)

Code: Select all

# chmsee
Segmentation fault
#

Replace chmsee with kchmviewer. The last one run smoothly on slaxerpup

Hey vanchutr

a gtk error

I updated and compiled gtk to a newer version gtk+-2.12.9-i486-slxr

remove pizzasgood patched gtk-xinput-2.12.1-i486-slxr.tgz
if it was installed side note :there isn't anything wrong with it but for version numbering and compatibility slackware 12.2 uses a later version

then install gtk+-2.12.9-i486-slxr.tgz

http://puppy2.org/slaxer/gtk+-2.12.9-i486-slxr.tgz

*I will also update chmsee

thanks for posting

Joe

big_bass · #333 Post by **big_bass** » Tue 27 Oct 2009, 18:43

I compiled the latest cmake 2.6.4

So, if you use the devx *tgz version not the sfs http://puppy2.org/slaxer/412-devx-i486-2.tgz
you can just

install http://puppy2.org/slaxer/cmake-2.6.4-i486-2-slxr.tgz

and easily update the compiler

Yeah. About 50 kg lighter and younger than I'd imagined. But what the heck, I'm still using Slaxer despite Barry's latest and best. It "just works".

Thanks, Joe. Thanks very much.
