sbopkg??? Is this system automated now?
Am I correct in stating that there is no "real" repository, ala
Ubuntu, with prebuilt binaries for Slackintosh? If so, that is a shame
:-(
If you could give me an approximate comparison with slackintosh 12.1
and say Ubuntu/Fedora Core, there should be some packages that can be
converted...
I am especially looking for emulators - dgen, zsnes (not possible?),
pcsx-df, bnes, MAME.
Yes, Xine works well, and I managed to compile mplayer, and it works well too...
I was hoping that VLC might handle any codecs the other two did not,
but I could be wrong there.
I seem to be waiting forever for builds, and slackbuild.org has no
powerpc info in the .Slackbuild file that I have found. Whenever I
edit this file the build fails. Also, the patches do not seem to get
applied either - I am obviously doing something wrong here as well.
I have had about 85% success rate compiling original source code, with:
./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --build=powerpc
--target=powerpc-linux
add another 7% if I type ./configure --help, and disable missing
items. So pretty good all around.
As always, any help would be greatly appreciated!
Cheers,
themacmeister.
