ive been trying to edit a Debian installation CD,
followed tutorial on debian website
https://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstaller/Modify/CD,
successfully extract cd, use genisoimage to recreate iso, try to install debian, no problem.
and then the problem, when i tried to edit one of the package, say i want to change a picture in a package .deb, i used this command:
extract .deb:
mkdir directoryname
cd directoryname
dpkg-deb -x pathtopackage/package_name.deb .
dpkg-deb -e pathtopackage/package_name.deb
building .deb :
dpkg-deb -b . pathtopackage/new_package_name.deb
and replaced the very same package on /pool/main debian cd directory
however after built the iso, it failed to install my edited package,
i've tried to fix md5 sum inside cd, rebuild dist/Release, still no luck.
any advice?
thanks in advance
finally did it.
first mistake
building .deb :
dpkg-deb -b . pathtopackage/new_package_name.deb
correct command:
dpkg-deb -b -Zgzip . pathtopackage/new_package_name.deb
to recreate exact package as original one
and then following the rest tutorial on https://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstaller/Modify/CD,
except for debootstrap error, it can be done by following tutorial from this page
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/debootstrap/+bug/1001131
edit my debootstrap.deb, repackage, and voila, done all the works.
apparently my error was because debootstrap error from official debian page doesnt work for me.
hope this information useful for anyone

Followed the instructions in transcrypt "getting started" docs, I entered the examples 'hello.html' and 'hello.py' in a separate directory.
Entering from the command line: "transcrypt -b -m hello.py" resuleds in the error message: "'transcrypt' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file."
I'm using python3.6, with transcrypt installed in: C:\program files\python36\lib\site-packages\transcrypt
Any help to activate the sample hello.html would be appreciated.
Could you try python -m transcrypt -b -m hello.py
and tell me what the console output is?
Also: are you on Windows, Linux or OsX?
Answer: Windows 10
[EDIT 1]
Looks like Transcrypt was installed under a different Python distro. Would be good to know what's going on, so please keep us informed. I also have several Python installs on my Windows 10 computer and it can be confusing indeed.
[EDIT 2]
Another possibility is manual installation (although it isn't elegant...). From the docs
http://www.transcrypt.org/docs/html/installation_use.html#installation-troubleshooting-checklist
Alternatively, for manual installation under Windows or Linux, follow
the steps below:
Download the Transcrypt zip and unpack it anywhere you like
Add ../Transcrypt-/transcrypt to your system path
To enable minification, additionally the Java Runtime Environment 6 or later has to be installed
Note If you install Transcrypt manually, Trancrypt is started by typing run_transcrypt rather than transcrypt. This allows a pip
installed Transcrypt and a manually installed Transcrypt to be used
side by side selectively
BTW Thanks for the suggestion on Github. We'll look into it and try to improve the docs on this point. It seems to be quite difficult to really draw up a bullet proof installation procedure for each platform.
You might also find it easier to use python3's built in virtual env, so that you install Transcrypt and other python modules only into one project folder at a time. It's much easier to use than it at first sounds.
Here's how you might do that on Windows 10.
mkdir mynewproject
cd mynewproject
py -3 -m venv myvirtualenv # installs venv files into myvirtualenv
myvirtualenv\Scripts\activate # activates the virtual env
The py -3 command uses the python windows launcher to use the latest version of python 3. The launcher is defined in Pep 397 and the docs are here.
Once the virtual environment is activated, the prompt will change to show that. After which any 'pip install' commands will install packages into 'myvirtualenv', instead of the system wide location. If you want to deactivate it, just type 'deactivate' or close the shell window. You can also just use 'python' to refer to python3 from within the virtual env. This has saved many people from madness.
In case this helps for other newbies. A few problems I encountered when setting up transcrypt.
Path issues: I had multiple versions of python, in different folders: \python26, \python27, and \Program Files\python36.
This caused all sorts of grief, despite setting the environmental path to include the python36 distro. I fixed this issue by renaming the other versions \python26x and \python27x. This left those distros intact if ever I needed to use them, but stopped the system from finding them. Thus, it only found python36
My earlier suggestion of py -3 didn't really solve the multiple distro issue completely after all.
After doing that, I reinstalled transcrypt and it seemed OK (sort of: read on)
Second issue was trying to run the sample hello.py. I tried "transcrypt -b hello.py" and got a "'transcrypt' is not recognized.." message.
But this worked: python -m transcrypt -b -m hello.py
That worked because the system had finally found the correct version of python, due to the above fix.
Similarly, trying to run the sample hello.py as recommended in the docs caused a problem. run_transcrypt -b hello.py
The reason for this was that run_transcrypt resolved to "python $(dirname $0)/main.py $*"
But, because I had python v3.6 installed in c:\Program Files, the batch file run_transcrypt caused this output:
c:\transcrypt>python C:\Program Files\Python36\Lib\site-packages\transcrypt__main__.py -b hello.py
python: can't open file 'C:\Program': [Errno 2] No such file or directory
Consequently, I had to place Program Files in quotes and run it this way:
"C:\Program Files"\Python36\Lib\site-packages\transcrypt__main__.py -b hello.py
or else, as above: python -m transcrypt -b -m hello.py
I think, with respect, the docs should raise a warning flag here for users who have python installed in \Program Files, rather than, for example, in c:\python[x]
Third issue Changing hello.py to "play around" with the code -
I found the files in transcrypt\demos\ to be read-only. To fix this:
1: I opened the command prompt as administrator
2: I ran the attrib command to change the file attributes:
"c:\Program Files\Python36\Lib\site-packages\transcrypt\demos\hello>attrib -r -s -a hello.py"
(Without doing this as administrator you get an access-denied message)
The whole exercise caused a few hours of toing and froing, but it seems that things are better now.
I am trying to install the openCV library for Python however I am new to CMake and have run into some trouble after having cloned the repository in ~/opencv.
I've made a build directory in it with the mkdir command however once inside it when trying to set CMake options in it.
cmake -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RELEASE -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local
I get prompted with the following error:
CMake Error: The source directory "/Users/eDen/opencv/build/CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local" does not exist.
It seems you aren't making the right directory, some Mac OS X installations doesn't include /usr/local/. You can make the directory using, if it's not already created, with:
sudo mkdir /usr/local/
But you say you want to use OpenCV with Python. I recommend you to obtain an already compiled copy unless you need some advanced features not available in the compiled version, like Qt integration or CUDA programming. But these features are included in the arguments of the cmake command.
Instructions on how to obtain OpenCV from Homebrew repository, this page explains the process. Basically, you install Homebrew, then Python, configure it and install some dependencies.
As Tsyvarev mentioned in the comments, you need to specify the path to source directory (i.e. where the main CMakeLists.txt file exists) at the end of your command. So, supposing you are now in the build directory, the final cmake command would be as follows:
cmake -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RELEASE -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local ..
I have the last argument as .. but still get the error.
In my case, there is a bad whitespace in the above arguments. So the last .. is ignored.
Right now I am trying to compile Courguette in order to generate a diff patch. The source and some documentation can be found in the following link:
Courguette
I downloaded it but I don't find the way of compiling it.
I have Googled and found some references even to this forum, such as:
StackOverflow link
And other references:
Chromium Linux build instructions
After reading things about ninja and gpy I decided to install them, but there are not references to a .ninja file. I find a courguette.gyp file but using gpy I neither get it compiled...
I am following the guide they provide:
Installed the depot_tools and added to the path.
gclient runhooks
gclient sync
And when I execute gn gen out/Default it fails with the following message:
gn.py: Could not find gn executable at: ~/binary_diff_tools/courgette-master/courgette/buildtools/linux64/gn
Then I used git to pull from the repository the buildtools, but I get the same result.
Any help will be appreciated.
Best regards,
Iván
Ok... It seems that is needed to install all Chromium dependencies before being able to compile courgette so... it must be done as follows:
Install depot_tools git clone and you will have them installed.
After including the depot_tools in your patch (.profile or .bashsrc for example as indicate the depot_tools installation tutorial) execute fetch chromium ouside the depot_tools folder ( it always failed me when I executed it inside the same folder).
I want to build it in Debian so I have to do "gclient runhooks" instead of the .sh script for Ubuntu.
ninja -C out/Default courgette
You will find the executable in the folder out/Default, so ./courgette and it will indicate you the right parameters in order to generate your patch properly.
Best regards,
Iván.
I am installing libpng on linux system, I am using the following steps as mentioned in the INSTALL file.
cp scripts/makefile.std makefile
cp scripts/pnglibconf.h.prebuilt pnglibconf.h
The above two commands work fine, then I run make , it shows the following message: No rule to make target 'png.h' , needed by 'png.o' . Stop.
I don't know how to fix it, Please explain how to install it.
Looks like the same problem like yours. Proposed solution:
In the libpng source directory, look for png.h "e.g. find . -type f -name png.h -print".
Manually copy this file to /usr/include
OK. Here's the problem and it's driving me crazy!!!
I followed the instruction online, installed hadoop and when running the text it said snappy local library can't be loaded.
It's said I have to install snappy first and then install hadoop-snappy.
I download snappy-1.0.4 from google code and do the following:
cd ../snappy-1.0.4
./configure
make
sudo make install
Then it's the problem when:
mvn package -Dsnappy.prefix=/usr/local
The post online said by default the snappy should be installed in the /usr/local.
But I got the following error and no matter what I change the path, still get erro:
The goal you specified required a project to execute but there's no POM in the directory. Please verify you invoked the maven from the correct directory.
It's the wrong directory of mvn? Or improper of snappy? And it said lack of pom that should be a .xml that in no where I can find..
Please help!
Alright, so looking at that page, you are in the wrong directory.
The directory you should be in for that step is "hadoop-snappy" which you can see has a pom.xml, you can verify by looking at the github, https://github.com/electrum/hadoop-snappy.
So after you follow these steps from the guide you showed me.
Download it(hadoop-snappy) from GitHub
Install libtool, make sure ‘libtoolize’ works
Install Maven 3 if necessary
Change your directory to hadoop-snappy and run the command you were trying before.
