Salix Forums

Using Salix 13.37 Xfce installed to hard drive.

After doggedly resolving all the dependencies issues, I was finally able to get a compile of the application mysql-workbench-gpl-5.2.29 but after completing the compile and copying all the runtime files in /usr/share/, this error occurs:

ERROR: unknown package type: mysql-workbench-gpl-5.2.29-src.tar.gz
ERROR: Can't open package file. (mysql-workbench-gpl-5.2.29-src.tar.gz)
ERROR: Package installation failed!

Suggestions?

Thanks

somehow slapt-src mistakes the source tarball for the actual package it seems.

I saw this happen on another package, but can't recall which one. I had to manually install the compiled package using spkg

I looked at the phpmyadmin.Slackbuild file, and the correct tar xvf command is in the file. I don't know what Slackware specific things are required for phpMyAdmin to work, usually one just extracts the file, moves it to /var/www/htdocs/, copy and adjust the conf file from the sample, game over.

I patched slapt-get to fix these problems (the actual problem was in slapt-get, not slapt-src) and rebuilt slapt-src so it should be working with the latest slapt-get/slapt-src package updates.
