Where can I download freetype2-lcd tarball

Hi folks,


Archlinux 86-64 2007-08-2


Following;
http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php

on searching I found 

Location      Category      Name      Votes      Description      Maintainer
unsupported     lib     freetype2-lcd 2.3.5-3        84     TrueType font rendering library (with custom LCD filter)     eWoud
unsupported     lib     freetype2-lcd_ 2.3.5-1        8     TrueType font rendering library for LCD Displays     sda00

But the links displayed here don't provide "freetype2-lcd" package.


On googling I found;
freetype2-lcd-2.3.5-13.1.src.rpm
and
freetype2-lcd-2.3.5-13.1.i586.rpm

on
http://download.opensuse.org/repositori … -13.1.html

But they are rpm packages NOT tarball.


Please advise where can I download a workable freetype2-lcd tarball


TIA

Re: Where can I download freetype2-lcd tarball

wget http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/freetype2-lcd/freetype2-lcd.tar.gz

Then unpack it, within /var/abs/local/

I use untar:

#!/bin/bash

# From http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-15443-postdays-0-postorder-asc-start-25.html

TAR=$(which tar)
UNZIP=$(which unzip)
UNRAR=$(which unrar)
SEVENZ=$(which 7z)

if [ ! -e $1 ]; then
   echo "no filename given"
   exit 1
fi

# returns gzip, bzip2 or Zip
TYPE=$(file $1 | cut -d " " -f 2)
NOEXT=$(echo $1 |cut -d "." -f 1)

if [ $TYPE == "gzip" ]; then
    # Extend this - might just need gunzip
    $TAR -vxzf $1
elif [ $TYPE == "bzip2" ]; then
    $TAR -vxjf $1
elif [ $TYPE == "Zip" ]; then
    $UNZIP -dv $NOEXT $1
elif [ $TYPE == "RAR" ]; then
    $UNRAR xv $1 $NOEXT
elif [ $TYPE == "7-zip" ]; then
    $SEVENZ x $1
fi

Re: Where can I download freetype2-lcd tarball

Hi brebs


Thanks for your advice and script.

wget http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/freetype2-lcd/freetype2-lcd.tar.gz

Then unpack it, within /var/abs/local/

I'm now building ABS.  I can't find /var/abs/local


$ ls -al /var/abs/

total 36
drwxr-xr-x  8 root root 4096 2008-02-13 07:56 .

drwxr-xr-x 10 root root 4096 2008-02-13 07:54 unstable

Shall I create /var/abs/local directory?  Shall it be owned by root?  Or by user?  What about its permission?  TIA

/var/abs/local is *yours*, if you choose to create it and own it. However, any build directory will work.
Another method is to use a build directory in your ~. Build as user, and install as root.

Created building directory on /home/satimis/abs/local

$ ls -l /home/satimis/ | grep abs

drwxr-xr-x 2 satimis satimis 4096 2008-02-16 00:58 local

I'll download, extract and install "freetype2-lcd.tar.gz" on it

$ cd /home/satimis/abs/local
$ wget http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/freet … lcd.tar.gz


Thanks

Re: Where can I download freetype2-lcd tarball

Hi folks,


Unable to install "freetype2-lcd.tar.gz"

I have it download on /home/satimis/abs/local/

$ cd /home/satimis/abs/local

$ makepkg -ci --asroot freetype2-lcd.tar.gz 

==> ERROR: The --asroot option is meant for the root user only.
    Please rerun makepkg without the --asroot flag.

$ makepkg -ci freetype2-lcd.tar.gz 

==> ERROR: PKGBUILD does not exist.

Did I miss something?  TIA


Edit:

$ makepkg -cip freetype2-lcd.tar.gz 

freetype2-lcd.tar.gz: line 1: : command not found

==> ERROR: An unknown error has occured. Exiting...

Still failed.

Re: Where can I download freetype2-lcd tarball

Did you extract the tarball? And you run makepkg without arguments.

tar -xzf freetype2-lcd.tar.gz
cd freetype2
makepkg -s
