Installing tovid/Slackware

From Tovid Wiki

This page provides instructions for installing and building tovid on Slackware.

Contents

[edit] Installing

If you install from a Slackware .tgz, you should first install all tovid dependencies, to prevent potential problems. Same goes for building a Slackware package.

Download the latest tovid package for Slackware here: tovid-0.30

Install the package:

$ su -c "installpkg tovid-0.30-i486-1.tgz"

[edit] Building

If you'd like to build your own Slackware package, follow the instructions below.

[edit] From an official release

Download the tovid.SlackBuild, slack-desc and the latest tovid-0.31.tar.gz and put the three files in the same directory.

Make the SlackBuild executable:

$ chmod +x the tovid.SlackBuild

Run the SlackBuild:

$ su -c "sh tovid.SlackBuild"

Once it's done, your package should be in the current working directory.

Install the package:

$ su -c "installpkg tovid-<version>-<arch>-<build>.tgz"

Note: If you want to install another version than 0.30, just edit the SlackBuild so that the VERSION= string points to the right tovid version.

[edit] From SVN

Download the tovid-svn.SlackBuild and the slack-desc. Put the two files in the same directory.

Get the txt2tags Slackware package from the txt2tags homepage: txt2tags-2.3 (This is needed to make the man pages.)

Install the Slackware package:

$ su -c "installpkg txt2tags-2.3-noarch-1.tgz"

Make the SlackBuild executable:

$ chmod +x the tovid-svn.SlackBuild

Run the SlackBuild:

$ su -c "sh tovid-svn.SlackBuild"

Once it's done, your package should be in the current working directory.

Install the package:

$ su -c "installpkg tovid-<version>-<arch>-<build>.tgz"
