The Clockworkmod Tether app needs a node compiled on Arch.

Hi,

I am using a tethering app for Android appropriately called "Tether". It works without root but need a node to be compiled on the Linux system being tethered. I've used it for ages on distros like Ubuntu, Mint, Debian, Suse and Fedora but recently I went Arch and to my surprise it won't configure and compile for some reason. I am not a developer so I have no idea why.

The Play store Link here:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/deta … tta.tether

You normally download the Linux application through the Android app to and then put it on Linux and build it, but I have put the Linux application up here:

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/136 … -linux.tgz

What needs to be built is the node. It should be automatically configured and built the first time you run the application with the 'run.sh' script in the Linux sub folder, but I have always compiled the node (in the node folder) with configue > make before I run it. There doesn't seem to be any dependency issues, and there's no output from configure giving me any clues to what may be going wrong.

If someone is interested in getting it to work on Arch it would be great (maybe even add it to AUR?).

Re: The Clockworkmod Tether app needs a node compiled on Arch.

Have you checked in the AUR?

ewaller$@$odin ~ 1002 %packer -Ss ckm-tether
aur/ckm-tether 1.0.1.5-1 (1)
    clockworkmod tethering app for linux
ewaller$@$odin ~ 1003 %

I can swear I checked, but I used PacmanXG which has flaked out at times when I search. I will use the web site from now on. However, the AUR package fails when building the node just like it does when I do it myself. I will move this to AUR. Thanks.

Re: The Clockworkmod Tether app needs a node compiled on Arch.

I just tried to install this and also had errors running the configure and a few build scripts, which are in python. The cause is that they are written for python2 but their hashbangs use python which is python3. Since they use /usr/bin/env python, creating a temporary symlink python -> /usr/bin/python2 and adding its parent dir to the front of PATH will work.
