Hello,
Has anyone made slitaz packages for finch and btop?
Thanks.

Hello,
From what I've read on the pidgin site [c]finch[/c] is included in Pidgin; [c]pidgin-2.14.8[/c] is available on the mirror.
I'll have a look at btop.

No chance for [c]btop[/c], needs GCC 10 or higher to be compiled.

Hello! @Ceel
I tried a little experiment converting finch . DEB to .TAZPKG.
As far as I could see, finch is based on libpurple, but a separated package from pidgin.
It also seems to require some different libraries.

EDIT!!!!!
I was wrong, misled by Debian policy to splitting packages LOL. Finch is indeed part of Pidgin in Slitaz.
I had to add a couple libraries and gstreamer-1.0 for it to work, but id does.
Thanks a lot for the fast reply and pointer.

Hi sofia-m,
A lot of options are disabled in the [c]pidgin receipt[/c].
Can you tell me what packages you had to install to have [c]finch[/c] working. I'm trying to build a package with just [c]finch[/c]; it would be better I include them in the depends ;-)

Hello @Ceel,
I haven't had time to play with finch enough to say if anything is missing.
I don't know why I mentioned gstreamer-1.0 as a finch dependency (better said, I know, it was required when I was trying to install finch deb pkg LOL).
To make finch work in my no-xorg slitaz box, I just had to install libgnt (2.14.3).
Since I'm trying to keep the install small (school project) and there is no x-server,
I removed gtk+ too and just copied libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0.2400.32 and its symlinks to /usr/lib to keep finch happy.
A finch package would be cool!

Absolutely awesome!

@ sofia-m
finch-2.14.10.tazpkg; I tested it rapidly, seems to be OK.
You should win some MB: 2.6MB unpacked instead of 6.6MB for [c]pidgin[/c] and much less dependences.
Remove [c]pidgin[/c] and all its dependences before installing [c]finch[/c].
@ alanyih,
Right, my first idea was to compile [c]btop[/c] from source and went directly at the Compilation Linux section. Thanks for the hint.
Just for fun, btop-i686-1.2.13.tazpkg built from the [c].tbz[/c] file.

@Ceel
Thanks a lot. Every bit counts.

sofia-m,
Each bit counts
Maybe you should have a try at dvtm. It has not as possibilities as [c]tmux[/c] but it's lighter. Depends the utility you need.
@ Bellard,
I saw [c]btop[/c] and [c]finch[/c] have been added in the repo.
I don't remember if Rolling run on i486 but in this cas it would be better to build the package from the [c]btop-i486-linux-musl.tbz[/c] file instead of [c]btop-i686-linux-musl.tbz[/c], wouldn't it?
Shouldn't we modify the [c]pidgin[/c] receipt?
As [c]finch[/c] is a part of [c]pidgin[/c] we can
suppress the corresponding files and add [c]finch[/c] in [c]$DEPENDS[/c] and
suppress [c]PROVIDE="purple"[/c] because already in the [c]finch[/c] receipt.
By the way the [c]pidgin[/c] receipt uses the [c]--disable-idn[/c] option is used in [c]configure[/c] but [c]libidn[/c] is in [c]$DEPENDS[/c], is it right?
