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"
