 Posted: Mon Nov 20, 2017 9:14 am Post subject: compile source without ebuild? |
 |
|
HI
My Questions is based on this topic binary file and shared library issue
now i was able to get the source code form Our software distributor.
1. do i have to write an ebuild for the application so i can install it under gentoo? or can i compile the source in a conventional way?
here's an excerpt from the readme
| Quote: | Requirements
------------
on UNIX:
Latest FPC ( We actually _highly_ recommand and support compilation using fpc 3.0+.)
Install latest FPC Version from http://www.freepascal.org/ (or use a package manager from your distro, only if up-to-date!)
For example, to install the compiler environnement on debian/ubuntu:
apt-get install fpc-source fp-compiler fp-docs fp-units-base fp-units-db fp-units-fcl fp-units-fv fp-units-gfx \
fp-units-math fp-units-misc fp-units-net fp-units-rtl fp-utils screen binutils libncurses-dev \
libncursesw5-dev libssl-dev libncurses5 libncursesw5-dbg
Compile
Change to the source directtory
# cd sources/Htflps
on UNIX:
# make Htflps_32 or make Htflps_64 |
and Here's my attempt at writing an ebuild 
| Code: |

}

Maybe someone is so kind and can help me with writing the ebuild?
thanks

Hi!,
Can you provide the URL the package you want to build?

Then you can take a look at existing packages depending on free pascal.
For example: dev-lang/lazarus, dev-util/diffoscope or sci-electronics/puff

No, but you really should.
| Quote: | | or can i compile the source in a conventional way? |
You can compile and run programs outside of using portage, assuming you have the pre-requisites. eg:
The problem begins when people do stuff like "make install" or otherwise copying files onto the filesystem (like /bin /sbin /usr/bin /usr/sbin etc etc). |

Your license is wrong then, or you don't understand lgpl ; as soon as you get any binary made from lgpl sources, you own the sources and can distribute them the way you wish (and as soon as you distribute yourself binaries of it, your "wish" is now change into "force" too).
While you may not disclose their url, you can gives anyone url to your sources, and while your stupid software distributor may cry and not enjoy it, every man that has contribute to the sources because they were GPL would enjoy that you respect their wish (they might have not contribute to it knowing the sources would remain secret).
And as they have gave you the sources, i think they know fully they are force to do that, but it never kill anyone to gave them with a shitty "for your eyes only".
Why do commercial companies always want to play bad with GPL and still, love to use GPL code they didn't create? |

To give the proprietary vendor the benefit of the doubt, Palme may have copied an ebuild from a project that is LGPL and reused it as a basis for the ebuild shown above.
Palme: since you mention a license in the DOCS variable, could you pastebin that? I expect that sharing the text of the license is permitted, even if sharing the underlying software is not. As for your other problems with writing an ebuild, our ability to help you is limited if you cannot share the source, and is nearly non-existent if you also cannot share the error messages encountered from using your ebuild on the source. |

share the error messages encountered from using your ebuild will be no problem |

Yes you can, there is no need for ebuild if you want it to be on your system. |

That license file looks to me like a very permissive one, so you could freely share the source with us and still be in compliance with it. Is there some other contract that prohibits you from exercising the rights granted in that license?
While joanandk is technically correct that an ebuild is not required, I strongly discourage installing packages system-wide without the help of the package manager. If you install without the package manager, it becomes your responsibility to know where the files were installed and to remove them on any later upgrade or uninstall. If you install via the package manager, it handles that for you.
We will await the error messages from your attempt to use the ebuild. |

Yes, usually for third party software for which there is no ebuild, I install either to somewhere in my home directory or a subdirectory of /opt |

| Personally, anything I expect to stay around for more than a few hours gets a wrapper ebuild, just so that Portage tracks its files, checks for library ABI breakage, and so on. |

is there a space in the ebuild?
or at least a space between = and the ebuild name

Hi Palme,
I suspect all ebuilds (not just yours) are failing, right? In any case, could you post your /etc/portage/make.conf file, please? It's likely you've messed up your PORTAGE_TMPDIR variable with a trailing space. This variable need not even exist unless your changing the default, which you don't appear to be doing.

Probably a space in the category directory name from using a GUI file manager, and portage autocompleted the error given a bare package name. |
