Title: Can someone ELI5 me how to create tcz extensions?
Post by: john110 on July 19, 2020, 02:23:04 AM

Hello,

I need to install several apps such as keepassxc https://github.com/keepassxreboot/keepassxc/ (https://github.com/keepassxreboot/keepassxc/), lbry.tv https://github.com/lbryio/lbrytv (https://github.com/lbryio/lbrytv) and so many other applications that aren't present in the repos.

I tried to google how to create tcz extensions, but I couldn't understand a damn thing, to be honest, the documentations seemed to skip a lot of steps and It seemed to be aimed towards experimented users...

So, I'm kindly asking for a nice and gentle soul to be able to Eli5 me and provides me step by step instructions on how to install an app that isn't present in the official repo  :)

Thank you a lot for your help

Hi john110,

First do `tce-load -i squashfs-tools findutils` then do this after you unpack the source and the ./configure or make or cmake steps :

You need to make squashfs extensions out of the installed apps:

Code: [Select]

...
$ touch mymarker
$ sudo make install
$ sudo find / -not -type 'd' -cnewer mymarker | grep -v "\/proc\/" | grep -v "^\/sys\/" | tee files
$ vi files [edit unneeded files]
$ sudo tar -T files --numeric-owner -zcvf extension.tce
$ mkdir /tmp/pkg
$ cp extension.tce /tmp/pkg
$ cd /tmp/pkg
$ sudo tar xf extension.tce
$ rm extension.tce
$ cd ..
$ sudo mksquashfs pkg/ extension.tcz

This is enough to create personal tcz. You can move it to your tce/optional directory and add it to your onboot.lst so that it can be loaded on every boot instead of typing tce-load every time.

After sudo make install, I get an error:

Yes, I already read both and they don't help me much...

Using: http://tinycorelinux.net/11.x/x86_64/tcz/src/keepassx/

You need to do this first:

Code: [Select]

$ tce-load -i compiletc cmake libgcrypt-dev qt-5.x-dev zlib_base-dev

$ cd keepassx*

$ mkdir build
$ cd build

$ cmake -DCMAKE_C_FLAGS_RELEASE="-flto -fuse-linker-plugin -march=i486 -mtune=i686 -Os -pipe" -DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS_RELEASE="-flto -fuse-linker-plugin -march=i486 -mtune=i686 -Os -pipe -fno-exceptions -fno-rtti" -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_VERBOSE_MAKEFILE=TRUE -DWITH_GUI_TESTS=ON -DWITH_CXX11=ON ../

$ make

I can't send all terminal logs unfortunately, because I don't know how to copy them (ctrl + c doesn't work and I can't drag and drop them).

I got errors:

From CMakeLists.txt:

Code: [Select]

find_package(LibGPGError REQUIRED)
find_package(Gcrypt 1.7.0 REQUIRED)
find_package(Argon2 REQUIRED)
find_package(ZLIB REQUIRED)
find_package(QREncode REQUIRED)
find_package(sodium 1.0.12 REQUIRED)..so it seems you'll need argon, qrencode and sodium.

You could also try an older version, which might not need those additional deps.

How can I get these, I can't find any of them in the repo...?

Things seem to work if you use this: http://tinycorelinux.net/11.x/x86_64/tcz/src/keepassx/keepassx-master-commit_1682ab9.zip

I downloaded it, what should I do, now?

Unzip it, cd into it, then use the same instructions.

I find refreshers useful, and I also use KeePassx from time to time.

Thanks Juanito!

OK, I'll try to be a bit nicer this time around...

One of the few youtube videos that show how to make tcz's.  I found it useful a few years ago when making mine, even though it mimics what's in the core book.
