Extensions from 4.x repo verified ok with tc-5

[LinuxUser01]

I got the sound working in TinyCore 5.1 by just copying over OSS-modules-3.8.13-tinycore.tcz to the tce/optional folder and also adding it to the On-Boot. It has also clear the crashes that i was getting from Youtube. Thanks again coreplayer2.

Even latest bftpd is buggy with this glibc. I'll see if I can report that.

edit: It's an issue with crypt() being more strict in glibc 2.17. It also hit sudo and many other apps.

Bftpd 4.2 was just released with this bug fixed. Posted to 4.x and 5.x repos.

grahics-libs-1.tcz was splitted up to independent components, not needed in 5.x

[gerald_clark]

What was it split into so deps can be adjusted?

[Juanito]

I've made an attempt at it, let me know if it works.

[gerald_clark]

Looks good.  Thanks.

Audacious (media player) works in 5.x, at least for MP3.

Besides audacious.tcz, had to download audacious-plugins.tcz, libmcs.tcz, vorbis-tools.tcz, libmowgli.tcz, libssl-0.9.8.tcz (and associated dep/md5 files) from 4.x repo. Other dependencies are available in 5.x.

[Juanito]

OK, but there is no plan to move libssl-0.9.8 to the 5.x repo, so anything that depends on that would need to be recompiled against openssl-1.0.0.

I didn't check, but I would also suspect that audacious would have a dep on libpng12, could you confirm that is not the case?

[thane]

Quick find on my system shows I have libpng16 but not libpng12. So no dependency as far as I can tell for now. Is there a more definitive way to check?

[Rich]

Hi thane
Audacious has two files listed under  /usr/local/bin/ , audacious  and  audacious2. So try:

Code: [Select]

ldd `which audacious`
ldd `which audacious2`

[thane]

Thanks Rich. I'm away from my TC box but will check when I get home.

So I guess in the future I shouldn't copy over any lib* type files from 4.x to 5.x, to avoid possible library conflicts? If an app needs a library that's not already in 5.x the app needs to be recompiled?

[Rich]

Hi thane
I would say don't copy over any older versions of libraries. Just copy over missing libraries. Starting the app from the
command line will let you see if there are problems via error messages.

From what Juanito said above though, it sounds like libssl-0.9.8 might conflict with openssl-1.0.0, and maybe the other lib extensions I took from the 4.x repo could have similar issues with extensions from the 5.x repo. Audacious is nice  but I don't want a pathological setup...

[Rich]

Hi thane
libssl.so.1.0.0 is provided by  openssl-1.0.0.tcz
libssl.so.0.9.8 is provided by  libssl-0.9.8.tcz  which is an older version of that library.
One thing I will point out is  openssl-1.0.0.tcz  provides  libssl.so  and  libssl-0.9.8.tcz  provides no such link. I suspect there
would be no conflict in that case but I'll defer to Juanito on that point.
