Opera & SIM

Tannjew · 2004-02-17 14:54:53

I would wish a package for the opera browser and for SIM (http://sim-icq.sourceforge.net/).

terrapin · 2004-02-17 16:34:14

There's a Opera 7.23 package in contrautra's TUR. Just add this to your /etc/pacman.conf.

[contrasutra]
Server = ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/tur/contrasutra

Then type

pacman -Sy
pacman -S opera

That will install Opera for you.

Tannjew · 2004-02-17 17:40:28

Thank you for this hint

terrapin · 2004-02-17 17:49:33

No problem...Sorry I should have also included the link to the tur page which is tur.berlios.de. There are several tur repos that contain packages..

I was looking for the sim package quite long and I thought why don't try it on your own? Anyway it was pretty uncool to compile it (had to downgrade one package to compile...), but finally I did a package that worked on 2 computers of mine but didn't work on a friend's computer :?
So if you could just give it a try:
1. Download http://www.tu-bs.de/~y0016069/sim-0.9.3-1.pkg.tar.gz
2. Do a pacman -A sim-0.9.3-1.pkg.tar.gz
3. Now you could start it with sim

Perhaps some dependencies are missing, if so please post them in here

Tannjew · 2004-02-19 22:53:03

Ok, I could install it without any error messages. But executing it with "sim" resulted in followeing error message:

sim: error while loading shared libraries: libart_lgpl_2.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Then I installed the package libart-lgpl with pacman -S libart-lgpl. No I tried again a "sim", a lot of plugins were loaded and I got the error message "Segmentation fault".

the thing with sim is that it doesn`t compile on "normal" arch-system without some tweaks.
1. You have to change a file in sim/admin to allow automake
2. You have to downgrade to a version of flex from '97 (.4a, the actual one is .27).
I mentioned this stuff to the developers, perhaps this weekend there will be a solution and then I will construct an appropriate PKGBUILD.

morphus · 2004-02-25 09:05:21

I have made a package for sim: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?p=15995#15995

How about one for the preview release (Opera 7.5 Preview 3)?

terrapin · 2004-03-15 19:08:04

Here is a PKGBUILD for opera 750p3 which should be easy to edit for the latest beta releases and hopefully not interfere with the latest stable package.

pkgname=operabeta 
pkgver=7.50P3
operaver=7.50
operarel=20040309.1 
pkgrel=3
pkgdesc="Opera web browser.  This is the latest beta version." 
url="www.opera.com" 
depends=('xfree86' 'freetype2') 
source=(http://snapshot.opera.com/unix/7.50-Preview-3/intel-linux/en/opera-$operaver-$operarel-static-qt.i386-en.tar.gz) 
                                                                                
build() { 
  cd $startdir/src/opera-$operaver-$operarel-static-qt.i386-en 
  ./install.sh --prefix=$startdir/pkg/opt/operabeta 
  sed -i "s|$startdir/pkg/opt|/opt|g" $startdir/pkg/opt/operabeta/bin/opera 
  sed -i "s|$startdir/pkg/opt/operabeta|/opt/operabeta|g" $startdir/pkg/opt/operabeta/share/opera/java/opera.policy
  rm -r $startdir/pkg/opt/operabeta/share/doc 
}

okay here we go again...this pkgbuild should now be good to go. got the $startdir to work. Hopefully this will be the last edit

Xentac · 2004-03-15 19:19:45

How about changing /var/tmp/operabeta to $startdir?

scottro · 2004-03-15 19:23:21

Heh, Terrapin you beat me to it. I'm installing one I just made right now which I was going to post up here.

(BTW, the comment said Terrapin's PKGBUILD simply edited to get the beta version)

terrapin · 2004-03-15 19:43:50

Sorry for all the edits. The PKGBUILD should be good to go now.

trey · 2004-03-16 21:04:58

Boy, that was quick!

Thanks.

trey · 2004-04-20 17:39:46

Would someone be so kind as to point me to a resource on how to install pkgbuilds in Arch? I see people posting them as above, but how would I then use this to install Opera 7.5? :?:

Thanks.

normnmiles · 2004-04-20 23:08:05

I would suggest creating a build environment (working directory). You can use any directory you want but for this post I will use varabslocaloperabeta

pkgname=operabeta
pkgver=7.50P4
operaver=7.50
operarel=20040414.1
pkgrel=0
pkgdesc="Opera web browser.  This is the latest beta version."
url="www.opera.com"
depends=('xfree86' 'freetype2')
source=(http://snapshot.opera.com/unix/7.50-Preview-4/intel-linux/en/opera-$operaver-$operarel-static-qt.i386-en.tar.gz)

build() {
  cd $startdir/src/opera-$operaver-$operarel-static-qt.i386-en
  ./install.sh --prefix=$startdir/pkg/opt/operabeta
  sed -i "s|$startdir/pkg/opt|/opt|g" $startdir/pkg/opt/operabeta/bin/opera
  sed -i "s|$startdir/pkg/opt/operabeta|/opt/operabeta|g" $startdir/pkg/opt/operabeta/share/opera/java/opera.policy
  rm -r $startdir/pkg/opt/operabeta/share/doc
}

All you have to do is copy the contents above into a "PKGBUILD" file for preview 4. Then run the following commands.

$makepkg

This makes the Arch package.

#pacman -A operabeta-7.50P4-0.pkg.tar.gz

This installs the package. There you go Opera 7.5P4 installed. You can then find the Opera bin at

/opt/operabeta/bin/opera

trey · 2004-04-20 23:20:44

What do you mean by "copy the above contents into a PKGBUILD file'? I understand making the directory and copying the contents *somewhere*, but perhaps I need a little more detail. Sorry, it will be immediately after I do it, but..

Thanks for the reply!

normnmiles · 2004-04-21 00:30:28

If you have gvim you can copy and paste the contents above into a file with the name "PKGBUILD". So that you have a "PKGBUILD" file in your build environment.

Cool, learned something new.

Thanks again.
