Script to download extensions+dependencies on other Linux distros

<< < (2/9) > >>

Ahhhh, armv6 repo, not x86 repo !!! Maybe?

I think I have to alter the FetchExt.sh script to tell it where to go (and how to get there?) Maybe, then, re-chmod it?

doctoranonymous:
So, I altered the code very slightly, went back and deleted nano (cuz its x86 and 10.x), and saved my altered code under the name FetchExt2.sh.

Here is the mild alteration:


--- Code: ---"


# Repository to download from
ADDR="http://repo.tinycorelinux.net"

# Tinycore version
TC="9.x"

# Processor architecture, current options are  x86  x86_64  armv6  armv7
ARCH="armv6"

# This is where the extensions get downloaded from.
URL="$ADDR/$TC/$ARCH/tcz/"

EXT="$1"
TYPE=".tcz.tree"
if [ "$EXT" = "info" ]
then
TYPE=".lst"
fi

FILE=""

"
--- End code ---

So, I'll chmod the fetchext2 and then run it, as per your previous instructions. Thanks again!

    [EDIT]: Added code tags.  Rich

So it is running now, and seems to be working; stuff is downloading. But still getting "[: 0/8: unexpected operator" messages?

Also, here is the directory tree for TC, which is basically superfluous for anyone else reading this, but completes and satisfies my questions. haich tee tee pee ://repo.tinycorelinux.net/9.x/armv6/tcz/TC.tcz.tree

doctoranonymous:
And, final loose ends (for other noobs like me), bash vs sh. The unexpected operator error message is because of different syntax between bash and sh shell scripting languages. I think, maybe "==" vs "=" is a necessary distinction; but also the "shebang" (whatever that is?) , i.e. #/bin/ vs /bin/ ?

As I said, I'm a noob, and this is obvious to some people, but its nice to search around a bit, find answers, and share freely. Cheers, all!

doctoranonymous:
And .... Shebang! Now I have knowledge. haich tee tee pee ess ://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shebang_(Unix)
