Yes, i tried it. I had to comment out the contributed .pl scripts in order to get the build to succeed. Apparently even though the version numbers are the same, the source code archives differ.
I had worse trouble than that. The first compile (the ncurses build, without --enable-x11) choked because the code contains calls to PD_* functions (parts of PDCurses), even though the configure script doesn't enable linking with PDCurses unless you --enable-x11... and I don't want to disable the non-X build because that's what I actually used, when I was using qodem. At some point maybe I can revisit it. But it's confusing that the author has (had) 2 separate tarballs on 2 sites that both claim to be "version 1.0.1" but they build differently. Path of least resistance was to just punt and keep using the tarball I wrote the script for. It doesn't get updated upstream: I added it to the repo in July of 2023 and there hasn't been a new version since then. _______________________________________________ SlackBuilds-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.slackbuilds.org/mailman/listinfo/slackbuilds-users Archives - https://lists.slackbuilds.org/pipermail/slackbuilds-users/ FAQ - https://slackbuilds.org/faq/
