Beryl on AMD64

Hi all,
I couldn't find any Beryl-svn type packages in the AMD64 unstable (or any other repository for that matter)  So I got the Tar.gz packages out of AUR and built them myself

a) Was this the correct thing to do?
and
b) Are the built packages of any use to anyone?

Cheers

Re: Beryl on AMD64

Welcome to the community.

To answer your first question: yeah, that's great. Anytime you install software on Arch you want to use some sort of package. As you already know, not everything is available in the regular repositories, so the way you did it is right on.

Re: Beryl on AMD64

Ah, good stuff,  beryl, seems to run a lot faster on Arch64 than it did for me on Ubuntu Efty, which is nice!

So about the binaries, is there somewhere to upload them to, or does everyone do everything from source?

Re: Beryl on AMD64

The x86_64 guys are too few to maintain unstable sad

Anyway, if you want beryl, then get versionpkg and the PKGBUILDs from Arch CVS (the Beryl wiki has direct links to them).

Re: Beryl on AMD64

smile Thanks, that is what I've *already* done, now I have a set of binary package.tar.gz files, is there not a 'community' type repo or something that they could be put in, to make other AMD64 adventurers have an easier time of it ? Or do only certain packages make it into there?

Re: Beryl on AMD64

I've Ftp'd all the packages I've built for Beryl&Emerald.  Just FYI, the only local configuration change I had to make was to sym link /usr/lib/LibGL.so to /usr/lib64/libGL.so as the compile process was trying to link to the 32 bit libraries not the 64 bit ones. I've no idea if this will cause you a problem or not! smile

never make such a link :!:

next time you compile something it will detect the libs in /usr/lib64 and all gets broken. better fix the compile issues in another way ;-)

Re: Beryl on AMD64

Well, tbh, its been a fair while since I was a C++ developer, so I have *no* idea how to make it resolve the library to the right place, I checked through the 'configuration' file and could see no way of doing this?  IF anyone has some suggestions I'm happy to apply them!

I can't quite see why this would be a problem however, as why on Arch64, would I *need* anything to link to the 32 bit libs?

Re: Beryl on AMD64

Sorry to hear that dude, in what way did they not work ? when you did the pacman -A foo.gz did it say owt?

My system is running on Nvidia drivers so I haven't compiled the XGL package, do you need that as well? I can compile that for you if thats the case?

Re: Beryl on AMD64

No doubt I'll be crucified for saying this, but I just installed them from Nvidia's site? (It is a documented process on the wiki, before someone shouts, although not recommended, are they not in unstable or testing or owt?)
