Lua 5.2.3 on Slackware64 14.1
by BenV on Jul.04, 2014, under Software
Just ran into this one, noting it down for anyone else with this error:
Trying to compile Lua 5.2.3 (which should try to invest some in autoconf / cmake or something) gave me this lovely error:
make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/src/lua-5.2.3/src'

echo Stom product, Makefile editen, dan make MYLIBS="-lncurses" anders breekt ie op readline.

Reason: it needs to link against ncursus in Slackware (or alternatively libtermcap, but ncursus worked for me).
Solution – use make MYLIBS=”-lncursus”:
make MYLIBS="-lncurses"
cd src && make linux

Breaking slackpkg in unexpected ways
by BenV on Jul.04, 2014, under Software
I just ran into something funny:
root@machine:~$ slackpkg update
Your slackpkg.conf is outdated. Please, edit it using slackpkg.conf.new
as example or overwrite it with slackpkg.conf.new.
You can use 'slackpkg new-config' to do that.
root@machine:~$
Huh. I didn’t do anything weird with slackpkg….
Waaait a minute…
root@machine:~$ unset GREP_OPTIONS
root@machine:~$ slackpkg update
# Cut out the fetching of Changelog.txt
No changes in ChangeLog.txt between your last update and now.
Do you really want to download all other files (y/N)?
Apparently slackpkg breaks if you set GREP_OPTIONS to “–color=always”. Good to know for when I break it this way next time 😉
