help installing packages not in repository

Hi,

I'm new to slitaz and would like to get some development packages installed.

However, I haven't found them in the repository.

I'd like to do something like:

tazpkg  get-install  libavformat-dev  libgtk2.0-dev  libswscale-dev

What is the recommended way to get these (and all dependencies) installed?

If there are newer, better packages, that'd be fine.

(I'd like to do OpenCV development on slitaz.)

Re: help installing packages not in repository

Based on two search queries:

http://pkgs.slitaz.org/search.sh?file=libavformat&version=s

http://pkgs.slitaz.org/search.sh?file=libswscale&version=s

I think, that you need ffmpeg-dev package.

I don't find any libgtk package.

To simple install package (with deps):

1. open TazPanel in 'Packages' tab (http://tazpanel:82/pkgs.cgi);

2. type package name in the search box and press Enter;

3. connect to the internet (if you yet not connected);

3. in the list of packages tick checkbox and press 'Install' button;

4. wait for deps and pkg installed.

Re: help installing packages not in repository

SliTaz's naming conventions are different from other distributions like Debian and is sometimes down to the packager's choice of name.

For example, libgtk2.0 is named gtk+ in SliTaz and it's dev package is named gtk+-dev. What Aleksej says about libavformat and libswscale is true. It's included with ffmpeg and to get their headers, you need to install ffmpeg-dev.

Another thing to note is that with tazpkg get-install you have to install each package one at a time. It doesn't support more than one package on the same get-install line yet. This may change in the future.
