To everyone sorry that this email is so long but I've
been trying to figure out how to get my scanner to
work for so long I thought it was time to take it to
cooker. I've included my configure results at the
bottom of the page so you can see where I'm going
wrong.
The captions bellow are from Mandrake Forum under a
recent article about autospec and how to create RPMS.
Buchan was really cool to put some RPMS up and they
almost work so I think it would be a waste not to get
them working
Shad
If someone can make a RPM based on 8.0 Mandrake from
the source here...
http://as6edriver.sourceforge.net/
I would be forever grateful! And able to use my
scanner again.
Shad
Ps. I was able to get it compiled and running on
Mandrake 7.1
So I decided I might as well try autospec out. I have
compiled the as6edriver, and you can find SRPMs and
RPMS at:
http://www.cae.co.za/~bgmilne/mandrake/
Autospec didn't seem to be able to parse the install
scipt (most of the work when creating large RPMs), but
sincew this only
seems to have 2 files, it's not an issue.
I have not run the rpm or spec fiel through any of the
Mandrake suggested tools (like rpmlint) and the Group
specified in the
spec fiel is wrong.
Give it a whirl, and let me know if it works or not.
Make any cosmetic changes to the spec file (after
installing the SRPM, see
Mandrake's RPM Howto first) and send it to contribs.
Buchan
Thanks a million for getting this built. I've been
playing with your rpm it only works only in console
mode (for now). I've also
noticed the only way you can run the RPM is if you
have the Scanner plugged in. I haven't had time to
mess with it much
yet. Currently I can get it to make my scanner test
itself and start to go into a scan mode but about half
way into setting up
the scan the program gives me this error...
Floating point exception (core dumped)
I don't understand what you mean about about not being
able to parse the install scipt. Hopefully I will be
about to figure
this one out.
***I don't know how Buchan got this to configure
because I can't get it to install on my Mandrake
8.0***
