This is my experience trying to get KeePassX, which I noticed has some porting effort, running. I’m on more or less stock Haiku hrev47209 x86_gcc2.
Haikuporter does not come installed. Found https://bitbucket.org/haikuports/haikuports/wiki/Home and from that, opened a Terminal and ran these in order (had to change the third and fourth lines a bit) from ~/:
git clone https://bitbucket.org/haikuports/haikuports.git git clone https://bitbucket.org/haikuports/haikuporter.git cp haikuporter/haikuports-sample.conf /boot/home/config/settings/haikuports.conf # lpe ~/config/settings/haikuports.conf # didn't end up using this...nothing to change ln -s /boot/home/haikuporter/haikuporter /boot/home/config/non-packaged/bin/
Then I ran (based on https://www.haiku-os.org/tags/recipe ):
haikuporter -S keepassx-2.0a5.recipe
After a lengthly repo-populating process (I noticed keepassx went by…) it said:
Error: keepassx-2.0a5.recipe not found in tree.
So, I tried again without the .recipe, as it appeared in the populating list:
haikuporter -S keepassx-2.0a5
This time:
Error: package keepassx-2.0a5 can not be built for architecture x86_gcc2
Huh. I noticed at http://bb.haikuports.org/haikuports/src/82718d7e457e/app-admin/keepassx/?at=korli/db-recipe-for-version-6030-1395314963725 that they specify the arch as just ‘x86’. So I went back to that conf file I didn’t see fit to change:
lpe ~/config/settings/haikuports.conf
…and uncommented the line SECONDARY_TARGET_ARCHITECTURES=“x86”, saved, and tried again. Even though it went way longer without complaining, again it ended with:
Error: package keepassx-2.0a5 can not be built for architecture x86_gcc2
So back to lpe ~/config/settings/haikuports.conf and changed it to read TARGET_ARCHITECTURE=“x86”. Ah, now:
Encountered problems resolving package dependencies: 1: nothing provides devel:libgcrypt needed by faked_keepassx-2.0a5-2 Error: unable to resolve required ports for keepassx-2.0a5 Error: package-infos: Error: /boot/home/haikuports/app-admin/keepassx/work-2.0a5/repository/keepassx-2.0a5.PackageInfo Error: /boot/home/haikuports/app-admin/keepassx/work-2.0a5/repository/keepassx_source-2.0a5.PackageInfo Error: repositories: Error: /boot/home/haikuports/packages Error:
At this point I’m out of ideas. I don’t know how to get something to provide devel:libgcrypt.
Help?
Thanks,
Kev
