I am running Puppy Linux from a USB stick and I am trying to install RosBE-Unix, but the builder script says that it cannot find zlib, though zlib.so is in the /lib directory.
Anyone got any ideas of what is going wrong or how to make the script find it?
RosBE-Unix does not find zlib - but zlib.so is in /lib

Re: RosBE-Unix does not find zlib - but zlib.so is in /lib
What is the architecture of the Puppy Linux OS you are using? Most of the time Linux complains about shared libraries, files, etc. for the mere reason that they are built for a specific arch whilst your arch OS differs. In other words, Puppy tells you that the specific zlib SO compatible for your OS is missing. I may be wrong though.
You can run this command as follows (as long as Puppy Linux supports APT, never used such a distro like this) to install required zlib files so the script won't complain anymore. You can append :i386 architecture at the end of the package's name in any case if it's needed.

It is based on Slackware.Fraizeraust wrote:What is the architecture of the Puppy Linux OS you are using?
apt-get is not supported. zlib1g-dev is not found by the package manager!Fraizeraust wrote:apt-get install zlib1g-dev
I had already installed zlib and it looks like I have multiple copies too! It just is not found by RosBE-Builder script.
Well, that got the script further, but it is now complaining that it cannot find one of it's own files! It is there, but for some unknown reason, it cannot find it.MadWolf wrote:I commented out the line rs_needed_libs="zlib"
By the way, I have changed the file permissions, so that is not the problem.
I am only doing this to be able to add Unix support to my layman's guide!

Re: RosBE-Unix does not find zlib - but zlib.so is in /lib
I don't think that is much help; I have messed around with Linux off and on since the late 90s, so I have a little knowledge of Unix.MadWolf wrote:hi

hi
you may need to reinstall Puppy Linux Slacko
open puppy package manager and install the following
Note you do not need to do this step you can skip to the last step
bison
flex
gcc
gcc-g++
grep
make
texinfo
libz
python 2.7.5
open Sfs Manager and install Development Libraries
edit
i have not tested compiling reactos but i do not get any errors installing the Build Environment

You are probably right; it is now getting a little messed up!MadWolf wrote:hi

All these dependencies are maked as OK. I managed to get it to find zlib by installing the binutils package (I think that was the one).MadWolf wrote: open puppy package manager and install the following

I must admit that I do not know how to use/install squash file system packages.MadWolf wrote: open Sfs Manager and install Development Libraries

EDIT: It is simple, just use (as you said) the sfs manager!
Thanks.

Re: RosBE-Unix does not find zlib - but zlib.so is in /lib
Problem now solved.
I have run Slacko from a CD and I have installed the Sfs Development Libraries. The RosBE-Builder script now completes.
There must have been some dependency, which was not in the individual packages.
