Slackware for Pandora 14.0

[Linux-SWAT]

Was the old version :/.


Yeah, i finally tested some arcade games ^^.

 

[trevormacro]

How can I install some applications or nds emulator on Slackware?

 

[Linux-SWAT]

Use Gslapt to install pre-compiled packages.


If you want to compile from sources using sbopkg, check the procedure here:

[Askarus]

How's Libreoffice going?


There are two things I miss:


1: Mousepad


2: Docuoment viewer (I don't like Xpdf)


Do we have them for Slackware?

 

[Linux-SWAT]

I think i overclocked too much for my first tries with the 1GHz. Cputest is now below what i thought to be the safe limit.


I'll rego for it today, with a safest 1100.


Mousepad doesn't exists anymore.


Yes, i wanted to install it (it's evince i think).


Some update:


So SFML was missing due to a typo from me.


Also, i think i fixed a crash that happens from time to time at shutdown, especially with a custom kernel.

 

[Linux-SWAT]

Another quick update:


-Evince installed and configured as default reader.


-Menu entries separated for games categories. Unfortunately, there's no separated icons, 'cause freedesktop is the worst s**t piece of free software ever coded.


-Mplayer2 is definitely included.


-Speedcrunch as a calculator (an app that was missing from the start, shame on me).


-LO is compiling like crazy. Will fail in approx. 6 hours... or not ^^.


After LO, i will compile the DisplayLink kernel.


I noticed that viewing certain videos on Firefox crashes my system (CC, didn't test on 1G).


I may remove the mplayer plugin (which was installed by default). Maybe it's not the culprit.


Then i think i'll go for the final release v1. If i go too deep in the tiny optimizations, it can take weeks.

 

[Askarus]

Great News.


Hopefully LO will work.


Else I need DisplayLink for Zaxxon make presentations.


Does PanDebian work with Slackware?

 

[Linux-SWAT]

Can't remember.


---EDIT:


LO seems to compile well, so the over-overclock was the cause of the two past failures.


Let's wait two more days.

 

[Askarus]

Good news so far.


2 more days suck.


Isn't the new Pandora faster?

 

[Linux-SWAT]

It is, but it's not like 2X.


DisplayLink kernel is ready.

Finally got this installed on an SD card, when I found out how to link my card reader through to my Pandora Dev VM. Seems to be building Allegro 5 too. Fingers crossed

 

[Linux-SWAT]

Cool ^^.


In case you want to build a proper package, you can use this (4.x, but it's easy to adapt it for a version bump):


http://slackbuilds.o...raries/allegro/

 

[pmprog]

I have no idea what a proper "package" is... Anyway, it's compiled. I want to try it in a game build before I release it - to make sure the build works


Cheers

 

[Linux-SWAT]

A proper Slackware package is a .tgz or .txz archive made with makepkg, with a few cleanups.


For instance, Allegro-4.4.2 proper package can be build by this script, and a few additional files (see http://slackbuilds.o...raries/allegro/):

Got a problem.


Html 5 videos crash the OP.


Both shipped Firefox and hdonk's Firefox can play html 5, and a few seconds later, the system crash. It's not linked to mplayer plugin at all.


When i boot under Zaxxon, hdonk's Firefox can't play html 5 !!! There is no frame, and, for example, this BBB video doesn't even display a preview:


http://www.w3schools.com/html/html5_video.asp


Any idea about this ?

 

[Linux-SWAT]

LO is still compiling.


According to my quick calculations based on the mayan calendar, it's a longer time than all my previous tries, so it's a good omen.


All things are set up for the release excepting the firefox html5/webm disable.


Now i don't remove /usr/share/doc/* & similar, i let the user choose to delete this during the first boot.

What does it do and what will happen when I delete it?

I'm currently under Zaxxon with hdonk's Firefox. Under the link you posted the HTML5 test claims "Yeah! Full support!" and I can also play the video further down the page. It is a bit choppy during first play because it's still loading, but plays fine the second time ... I asume it is really is this short and stops after the apple drops(?)

Nothing bad, it's only documentation in many languages you can find anywhere on internet.


You free "only" 900M .

Huh ? I wasn't able to run it under Zaxxon !


Yes, the video is very short.


I noticed that the big version crashed faster my unit.

A 32G SD card.


1100MHz.


3563mn ~= 60h ~= 2 days 1/2


But, horror, when i checked the disk space after the compilation, i saw that i had 100% full, 0% free space.


But the binaries are here, so it's a huge progress.


The package is around 84M, when x86 32 and 64 bits are around 102M.


Tomorrow, i will buy a 64G card.


This is the only thing i managed to display:
