k9copy installation FAILURE

[fizzy-logic]

Hi all,
After a 1 year hiatus I am back.
Trying to install k9copy thru Sourcery. It starts out OK and ends up with fetching http://downloads.sourceforge.net/k9copy ... rce.tar.gz FAILED
What me do now ?

Find out what the latest version is and edit the SlackBuild accordingly, then run it manually.

To download the SlackBuild and other files, use the -f option with slapt-src. It is probably more convenient to crate a temporary directory in which to do so and to run the build there. Then (as root) call the edited SlackBuild:

Code: Select all

sudo sh k9copy.SlackBuild

EDIT By the way please don't double post. I just looked at the post where you say you're back with Salix, and you mention the same problem there. This separate thread is the right place for it. And anyway, welcome back!

k9copy is not in the slackbuild 14.1 repo. This is why,

Fortunately this project is NOT dead yet !
At least according to here : http://sourceforge.net/p/k9copy-reloaded/wiki/Home/
That's very good news as this is a great application.

The latest version of k9copy is 3.0.3
It appears to use cmake for the installation.
Any help for using cmake to install this package in salix 64 KDE ?

Here's a package for x86_64 systems.

http://people.salixos.org/laprjns/k9cop ... 64-1rl.txz

Just download it, cd to the the directory you downloaded it to and do the following to install:

Code: Select all

$ sudo spkg -i k9copy-3.0.3-x86_64-1rl.txz

The only one I had to install was xine-lib

Code: Select all

$ sudo spi -i xine-lib

There maybe more, check the deps file so see if you need to install more

k9copy is now available via spi. All you need to do is:

Code: Select all

$ sudo spi -u
$ sudo spi -i k9copy

When invoking sudo, the following is showing up myself is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported.
As I understand it, I should have been added to the wheel during installation.
What gives ?
