Topic: gtypist

Hello guys big_smile!
I am trying to compile GNU Typist(don't suggest tux typing pls), and I need ncursesw libs for it.
My question is, where can I get it? We don't have it in repos.
thanks in advance smile

Re: gtypist

Hello! smile
Should be within ncurses.

Re: gtypist

Um... I'm sorry for being lamer, but how to "install them in convenient place"?
Like, when I run ./configure it says "Error:  both library and header files for ncursesw library
is required to build this package.  See INSTALL file for further information.
" in the end

Re: gtypist

No problem: When looking at the AUR-package you should need the patchfile. Linking it here: https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/ … ?h=gtypist

Or the snippet here:

Re: gtypist

No problem at all: To clarify, I was in search why ncurses was not recognized correctly and had a look over towards the AUR just to get a concrete image if there are some corrections needed. And yes, they are: The patch helps here. But nevertheless: You can just use the PKGBUILD and patchfile, put both in one folder (patchfile has to be named with fix-ncurses.patch. Afterwards open your terminal and just go for the command makepkg -s. smile Afterwards you should have even a final package to be ready installed with:

doas pacman -U [PKGNAME]

EDIT: A bit more explanation as the package-name follows the same naming-scheme, always. So the package is called gtypist, the version is 2.9.5, the release-version of the package internal is 1. Depending on your architecture used:

doas pacman -U gtypist-2.9.5-1-i686.pkg.tar.lz (for 32bit)
doas pacman -U gtypist-2.9.5-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.lz (for 64bit)

Hi

is that right?
this file fails the validity check. Should I run makepkg with --skipchecksums? Will that be safe?

Re: gtypist

Please remember that there could be some empty line missing at the end of the file, so you have for sure a different checksum now when creating a new file with the content. This is not bad at all, but you just need to recreate the hashsum again with:

sha512sum fix-ncurses.patch

Than copy the hashsum and replace it within the PKGBUILD: You can just see as both arrays are on count. To be exact:

sha512sums=('ea8db72e83a41340a4435e2802134a852fb61eb00f10267733455491fc9ce3356f61887146de21ec589a77ea1169ad5b75a0eba1708566b7327f4801bd6dcb52'
            'ae995eb314deffdac7f175ee7c13001be31a1e2f2eb93ad3368c11212755c8eb87bc5c6e9c6d91a4360370173fe5b814a4147cf5b1a13fd1f98ba41e2f128306'
            '')

The last line within that array: There you insert the new hashsum.

Re: gtypist

You know, before this is going endless within copy-paste-problems (also on my side when some text is not correctly taken further): I'll do a commit later with a rechecked (within librechroot) package. So you will be able to compile it without problems. smile

I link you the commit than. I have discovered also a fix to be done for another package: So no further problem at all. big_smile
And NO that is not your fault: Those problems can happen for sure on this level here. Better to take a full commit.
