fakeroot -- sh gthumb.SlackBuild Failed
I didn't find itstool in the repository. Is this part of the toolchain rather than a dependency just for gthumb?
I used Gslapt to check for updates to the Salix64 14.1 release and none were found.
I tried the executing the gthumb.Slackbuild from slackbuilds.org to see if the error changed but I got the same results.
I changed the preferences in Sourcery to use sbo before slkbuild but the results were the same. I'm using the default repository hostingextreme.com and only modified the list order.
At this point I'm guessing that the gthumb build, or one of its dependencies, requires itstool and I don't have it.
This is my first day attempting to use Sourcery or spi so I'm may be making a simple procedural mistake. However I was able to build and install shotwell 0.15 using spi. The references I found on this forum (in English) regarding gthumb were mostly for version Salix 13.37 and were ultimately successful.
Am I following the correct procedure and I just need to go to itstool.org and build version 2.02 separately? So far I've just been trying to build gthumb using the straight forward Salix process. I'm trying to learn the normal Salix method first.
Any pointers would be appreciated.
Thanks.
