Hi mick

Do you have a file list of what files/versions were installed on slackware13.37 , That would be very handy when compiling, so I could easily match the dep versions.

Hi ttuuxxx

If you look in /root/.packages you'll see Packages-slackware-13.37-official, plus the salix version and the spup version, plus there are some quirky libs that need upgrading. Ypu can cross reference with /root/.packages/woof-installed-packages.

Woof reads these files to build the distro and PPM reads them for the PPM.

Hope that's got what you need, should have

The problems in spup-100 with the Samba client package have been resolved in spup-120. You can now connect to a Windows shared printer.

Thanks rcrsn51... that was a fluke, but I'll take it!

seamonkey-2.0.13 and 2.0.14 will not compile .. it's a known issue with the the later gcc... can't find a patch as yet.

Compiled seamonkey-2.1b3.. it's a huge 20M pet ... (the slack txz is over 18M).. and I chopped a little bit out of it. I'll have another go with more "--with-system-(package)" to see if I can get it smaller. but how much will seamonkey come down from 20M will not be much I bet, probably not enough, so we may end up with a firefox distro, not a bad thing, just need to find small replacements for some things. Will recompile firefox too, at least that should be a respectable size.. .

James, thanks for that. If you want to save your full install, run gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders --update-cache. I can fix that one

here's epdfview with a few updated icons

[ttuuxxx]

Hi mick If I have sometime I'll look at Seamonkey. Also below is a fix for poppler dev files, just add it to the poppler dev files you have, without it, you can't compile epdfview.

Too small Seamonkey? Too old?

Here is some static builds of Firefox and Seamonkey.

bigbup, yes I'm aware of Phillipe's work, he does a nice job, thanks

firefox 4 is recompiled, saved nearly a meg (smaller than official version), also seamonkey-2.1b3... it's 19M, about the size of the static "official" version. Dunno why it's so bloated

I think this is the list of all installed packages on slackware 13.37

[01micko]

Hi ttuuxxx, nah that's an extras one.. where did you find it?

The Packages-slacware-13.37-official file is derived directly from the PACKAGES.TXT from Salix. I use theirs because the official slack one available from any of their mirrors doesn't have dependency information. That has to be generated in a running Slackware with a script from Steffano Stabellini... me and MMHP have been right through this.

Cheers

EDIT: ttuuxxx, following attachment is the woof database that it reads to get packages. It cross references the package databases. You'll see the fields eg:
yes|abiword||exe,doc,dev,nls
Obviously yes means it gets downloaded, 2nd field is the package name(generic),3rd field is the generic name in the database, 4th redirects doc,dev,nls. If the 3rd field is empty that means it's a PET. It should help you figure out what are pets and what are txz files.

ps wuxiandianzi has built a number of 2.6.38.2 to 4 kernals if you want to try one. They are woof compatable. He can build a specific if you want odd things, (like I asked for btrfs enabled to try it, not yet ready as there is no fsck yet).
