Title: Is "Gnu screen" available ?
Post by: destroyedlolo on November 12, 2022, 08:14:22 AM

Hello,

I'm looking to install the very useful for my headless server "screen" utility with exists as package as per packages list page (http://tinycorelinux.net/3.x/tcz/index_nojs.html).

But loading it is failing :

Code: [Select]

tc@GrosSvG1:~$ tce-load -w Screen.tcz
Downloading: Screen.tcz
Connecting to repo.tinycorelinux.net (89.22.99.37:80)
wget: server returned error: HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found
md5sum: Screen.tcz.md5.txt: No such file or directory
Error on Screen.tcz

Is this package not anymore supported or did I do a mistake ?

Hi destroyedlolo
The link you posted is for TC3.
If you are still running version 3.x, screen.tcz is still available there.

The most recent 32 bit version that has  screen.tcz  available is TC10.
The most recent 64 bit version that has  screen.tcz  available is TC13.

Thanks for your reply.
I'm running v13.1 in 32b mode.

Is it a way to ask tce-load to download it from previous version or do I have to download it manually ?
Is it safe to do so ?

Thanks

Well, I got my response : NO !

Code: [Select]

tc@GrosSvG1:/mnt/sda2/tce/optional$ screen
screen: error while loading shared libraries: libncursesw.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Will try to compile on my own : if I succeed, is a way to publish my own package to help to community ?

An update would be appreciated - see the extension section of the wiki for how to compile/submit.

Hi destroyedlolo
A build script for 32 bit can be found here:
http://www.tinycorelinux.net/7.x/x86/tcz/src/screen/

You will still need to:

Code: [Select]

tce-load -i compiletc ncursesw-dev ncursesw-utils
and change these variables to match the version you are building:

Code: [Select]

SRCNAM=screen-4.4.0.tar.gz
WRKDIR=screen-4.4.0
Here is the latest source package:
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/screen.git/snapshot/screen-v.4.9.0.tar.gz

Hi,

I gave up (yet) with screen as other thing are upper in my todo list.

Yesterday, I build my first extension : paho.mqtt.c (https://eclipse.github.io/paho.mqtt.c/) and will submit today for inclusion in the repo.
It was quite easy to do, so I'll continue 1st with a monitoring tool of my own (based on MQTT), then probably with miniDNLA : I give a try to rygel (which is already packaged) but it has too much dependencies and needs X for configuration. Not suitable for my headless system.

I used rygel on an RPi3 headless for a number of years…

I saw rygel is needing zillion of other packages.
Do you use the "official" extension or a striped down (without X and Rygel-preferences ) ?

I was using the extension from the repo.

Hi,

Back on screen compilation.

This compilation procedure doesn't work anymore, as screen 4.9.0 comes without configure ... configured : i need to run autoreconf (./autogen.sh).

I have loaded both autoconf, gettext and compiletc as found on this forum but

Code: [Select]

./autogen.sh
Can't exec "aclocal": No such file or directory at /usr/local/share/autoconf/Autom4te/FileUtils.pm line 274.
autoreconf: error: aclocal failed with exit status: 2
Is aclocal in any extension or do I have to install it as well ?

Ok found it : I have install automake as well.

Hello,

I submitted Gnu Screen 4.9.0 extension  :)

The build procedure is extensively detailed if someone want to build for other architecture than x86.

Bye
