I am not even on the bottom rung of the "compiling from source ladder" so I am completely non-plussed.

I should add that I have libc.so.6 (it is a symlink to libc-2.31.so)

Puppy Linux does not have or use apt.

Some info on exactly what you are trying to do would help us give better info.

Usually to compile, you need to first have the Fossapup64 devx SFS and the kernel sources SFS loaded.
You can get them from Quickpet->Useful->
quickpet will download and load these SFS packages, to give you needed programs and files, for compiling.

@ bigpup, I installed apt_2.0.6 thinking that it would enable me to use the apt command - as shown in the above code.. Given your comment I tried:

Code: Select all

root# apt -help
apt: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.33' not found (required by /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libapt-private.so.0.0)
apt: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.33' not found (required by /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libapt-pkg.so.6.0)

This leads me to the next, obvious, question, "What do I need to install so that I can use the apt command?"
Second/third question, "What is the apt-get command and what needs to be installed so it can be used?"

To answer your question. Firstly I am using Fossapup - frugal install.

I am trying to install SDR++ using the sdrpp_ubuntu_focal_amd64.deb from https://github.com/AlexandreRouma/SDRPlusPlus/releases

The method is outlined here: https://github.com/AlexandreRouma/SDRPlusPlus

I am stuck at the "Then, run:" step.

From the readouts, you'll never get apt to run in Fossapup anyway. For the version of 'apt' that you've installed, a newer version of the Glibc is required. Fossapup's is simply not new enough....

Mike.

[mikeslr]

The following won't help you with your current project because, as MikeWalsh pointed out, Fossapup does not have a new enough version of glibc*.

As bigpup noted, Puppys do not use apt. For your future projects, you might want to consider installing pkg-cli, viewtopic.php?p=34701#p34701 if not already present. I think it's already built into Fossapup64. The above post provides a link to its 11 page discussion on the 'old forum'.

* glibc libraries are 'foundations' --part of the framework upon which other applications depend. Upgrading glibc may result in 'breaking' many of the applications which depend on the earlier version.
This thread, viewtopic.php?p=4251#p4251 may still lead you to a downloadable version of palemoon tweaked to incorporate within its structure, and isolated from the OS's built-in glibc libraries , a more recent glibc version than those builtin. It was a project involving the efforts of Walter dnes, watchdog and Mike Walsh, based on the pioneering work of battleshooter. viewtopic.php?p=13146#p13146
You can download a version of the tweaked-palemoon, dissemble it and see how that isolation and usage was accomplished.
IIRC, in replay to my assertion that 'an OS can only have one glibc version', MikeWalsh suggested that that might not be the case. I concede he may be correct. But with two 'builtin' versions, some routine would also have to be established so that the proper glibc version would be used with each application. Off hand, that seems more complicated than running one version of Puppy from another by employing qemu or virtualbox.

I am trying to install SDR++ using the sdrpp_ubuntu_focal_amd64.deb from https://github.com/AlexandreRouma/SDRPlusPlus/releases

That is a deb package of a program.
It is the program packed as a install-able program.
Download the deb package to a location.
In rox file manager navigate to this location.
Left click on the sdrpp_ubuntu_focal_amd64.deb.
It will go through install process.

I looked in the deb package.
It has a .desktop file, so this may make a menu entry when installed.

After installing, run this in a terminal to update the menu entries.

Code: Select all

fixmenus

Because it is a deb package compiled for Ubuntu.
It may or may not make a menu entry.
So you have to figure out, what the exec file, that runs the program, is.
Usually it is the name of the program.
Try entering that name, in a terminal, to run the program.

@bigpup,

I did have to load a dependency but PPM did that so I am now listening to FM radio as I type this.

You have made my day!!

[bigpup]

That is one other problem with using deb packages compiled for other Linux OS's.
Puppy may not have all needed dependency stuff.
The deb package was made for the other Linux OS, that already has the dependency stuff.
