file-roller fails to start in TC6

[nitram]

file-roller fails to start in TC6 even though libffi is already installed:

Code: [Select]

tc@box:~$ file-roller
file-roller: error while loading shared libraries: libffi.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
tc@box:~$ tce-status -i | grep libffi
libffi

I'll try to look at this in the next couple of days (unless you'd like to recompile the extension) - in the meantime you can use the libffi5 extension

Trying to recompile now. Running into errors, adding libraries, we'll see how it goes. Problem isn't system, rather PEBKAC

Didn't realize GTK3 - pretty heavy. Will update thread later today. If no joy, will let you know i need your help. Thanks.

Was able to compile and run file-roller, but could not get it to work with a 'base norestore' boot, so must be missing a dependency. Used the existing .dep file, appended other libraries, still couldn't get it to run. Spent way too much time trying different things. Don't know how you developers create a .dep file from an 'ldd' list, must come with experience. Sorry for the fail, i've only submitted two extensions thus far and only one required but a single dependency. Can't spend any more time on this at the moment.

Tried re-compiling again with different options and then couldn't even run with error, silly gnome stuff:

Code: [Select]

(process:4759): GLib-GIO-ERROR **: Settings schema 'org.gnome.FileRoller.Listing' is not installed
     Trace/breakpoint trap
As you indicated, the existing file-roller extension works fine with libffi5.tcz added to the .dep file - tested. So is there really a need to recompile or can the repository's .dep file just be updated?

Another quick question, the wiki or manual indicates users can submit a build-dep text file to help with future re-compiles...where would i find this? The info is not available in apps or even http://distro.ibiblio.org/tinycorelinux/6.x/x86/tcz/.

recompiled file-roller posted.

Note that the original build details were at http://tinycorelinux.net/5.x/x86/tcz/src/file-roller

To avoid the schemas error you need the following in the start-up script:

Code: [Select]

glib-compile-schemas /usr/local/share/glib-2.0/schemas

Removed hacked version, installed your new file-roller and it works great. Now i know how to find the source and most importantly previous compile notes! Just need to read up on start-up scripts. Thanks again for your help.
