Ultimate Goal:
I'm trying to convert a binary plist file to an xml format so that I can put it in an array and grab values from it. What I'm finding via web search on this is that the command for Linux comes from libplist.
Problem: I ran "yum install libplist" and it told me libplist is already installed and latest version. I've read that if I enter the following command:
plutil -i /mypath/file.plist > /mypath/file.xml.plist
That this will help accomplish my ultimate goal. However, when I do this only a blank file called file.xml.plist is created. Further, with this command and any other command involving plutil, I get a "bash: plutil: command not found. . ." error. Is libplist seemingly not installed (even though it says it is) or why would I repeatedly get this error? Thanks for your help.
You can use yum to look for a package knowing the binary you want. For instance, if I want to install the package that provides plutil, I simply run this command:
$> yum provides plutil
Unfortunately, the result is No matches found... But you say you read that the libplist package provides this tool. Maybe it was renamed ? Let's use repoquery for this (if you don't have it, yum provides repoquery tells you that you need to install yum-utils).
$> repoquery --list libplist
/usr/bin/plistutil
/usr/lib/libplist++.so.3
/usr/lib/libplist++.so.3.0.0
/usr/lib/libplist.so.3
/usr/lib/libplist.so.3.0.0
/usr/share/doc/libplist
/usr/share/doc/libplist/AUTHORS
/usr/share/doc/libplist/COPYING.LESSER
/usr/share/doc/libplist/README
And what I see is that a program called plistutil was installed with this package !
I've never used plutil, so I can't tell you for sure plistutil is the program you want (but it probably is). What I wanted to do instead with this post is to show how you can use yum to install the packages you need !
I ran across this thread while Googling for the same thing myself. After looking at a few solutions for my own company (Screenplay) I decided to fork and iterate on a open-source, cross-platform, drop-in replacement for plutil:
https://github.com/screenplaydev/plutil
It's forked from Facebook's xcbuild (a tool developed by them to build xcode projects on Linux), but stripped down to just provide plist-editting functionality. That way you won't need to maintain separate code-paths for Mac and Linux environments.
Hope that's helpful!

I have a little problem while I want to update my package. I'll explain this: I published my package. After that, I waited for 2-3 hours for my packages be in the microsoft/winget-pkgs in GitHub. My branch merged successfully, It works on any Windows devices but, I created a new version of my application: v3.6.2. The version that I released it was v3.5.7. So now, I can't publish that version because this error is showing when I execute this cmd command: wingetcreate update <packageIdentifier> -u https://github.com/YourUsername/yourrepository/releases/download/3.6.2/yourapp.exe --version 3.6.2 -t ghp_YourGithubPersonalAccessTokenWith_public_repo_setting.
If you want an image, i'll show you the image (My Windows is French btw): Here the image. But as you can see, the red is the error and I tried everything, I searched on Google and didn't find anything that fixed my problem, I tried the examples showed above when you only execute this command: wingetcreate.exe update but still the same error message that you can see on the image.
So I decided to take the third example but same, without success. Is there a way that could update my WinGet package? Thanks!
I don't know if this could help but I can give you some info: it's inno, the achitecture is Neutral.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
FIX HERE
The last answer works but if you type the command winget search <YourApp>, it will keep the previous version and if you install, it would install the previous one... How to fix that because it is litteraly NOT updating but doing nothing.
It's hard for me to know exactly what the issue is without knowing the contents of the manifest or the metadata of the installer. My gut feeling is that there is an architecture mismatch when trying to match the installer you provided with the existing installer that is currently specified in the existing manifest. To override the detected architecture you can use the '|' symbol followed by the desired architecture. Here is an example:
wingetcreate update <packageIdentifier> -u "https://github.com/YourUsername/yourrepository/releases/download/3.6.2/yourapp.exe|x64" --version 3.6.2 -t <githubToken>
If that doesn't work for you, I would encourage you to post an issue on the GitHub repository so we can help you further.
Okay, I found the way: You take the code that the previous answer contains, and add -s:
wingetcreate update -s <packageIdentifier> -u "https://github.com/YourUsername/yourrepository/releases/download/3.6.2/yourapp.exe|x64" --version 3.6.2 -t <githubToken>
It will publish the application on GitHub for verification, in the command prompt you put (replace the sentence in the quotes with your current manifest file):
winget validate --manifest "PathToYourManifestShowedInGreenAfterPublishing"
When the validation on GitHub is done, it's done and normally it should work.
NOTE: Verification on GitHub can take 2 to 3 hours or even 4 hours. Be patient! (I hope)
I'm not really experienced with graphics programming, but I got curious. I installed both libgtk-3-dev and gtk-3-examples on my Debian 10.7 machine. From there I listed the example package files using dpkg-query -L gtk-3-examples to find some example programs.
In the examples directory I found the following README file:
== Building the examples ==
The examples in this directory are built alongside the rest of GTK+.
The examples under the `application[1-10]` directories are also included in
the GTK+ API reference documentation, and can be built independently, using
the system libraries, by doing:
$ cd application1
$ make -f Makefile.example
Looks straight forward. However, following the directions exactly yields the following result:
make: Makefile.example: No such file or directory
make: *** No rule to make target 'Makefile.example'. Stop.
There are no "Makefile.example" files in the application folders. Running find -name "Makefile*" in the examples directory yields:
./application7/Makefile.in.gz
./application7/Makefile.am
./Makefile.in.gz
./application5/Makefile.in.gz
./application5/Makefile.am
./bp/Makefile.in.gz
./bp/Makefile.am
./application9/Makefile.in.gz
./application9/Makefile.am
./application6/Makefile.in.gz
./application6/Makefile.am
./application2/Makefile.in.gz
./application2/Makefile.am
./application10/Makefile.in.gz
./application10/Makefile.am
./application3/Makefile.in.gz
./application3/Makefile.am
./application1/Makefile.in.gz
./application1/Makefile.am
./application8/Makefile.in.gz
./application8/Makefile.am
./application4/Makefile.in.gz
./application4/Makefile.am
./Makefile.am
I've not had any luck building an example program using the above files. I'm guessing it is because of my unfamiliarity with auto tools? Is there an easy way to build an example GTK program using the above files or do I need know a lot more about make/autotools/configure to get a working example running?
Update:
The cant-run-makefile-am-what-should-i-do post is informative but does not provide a course of action when no configure, bootstrap, or autogen programs can be found within the package. The following command yields no results when executed in my examples directory: find -type f | grep -i -E "*conf*|*auto*|*boot*". I need one of those files to be provided in order to have a successful build (as far as I understand it anyway).
Sorry for the fuss! I'm used to installing regular packages and missed that I needed to download the full source code to get the examples working. So, originally I mentioned that I installed both libgtk-3-dev and gtk-3-examples. I did so using apt-get install libgtk-3-dev && apt-get install gtk-3-examples.
However, to build GTK along with its examples locally it looks like what you want to do is get the source package archive with apt-get source gtk-3-examples (or similar.. I think it actually picked a different meta-package for me when I ran that command).
Then, in my new gtk+3.0-3.24.5 directory there's a nice configure binary that I can run (with subsequent make and make install commands) which produce many files including example program binaries.
So with ./gtk+3.0-3.24.5/examples/application1/exampleapp I get a running example. Voila!
If there a relatively simple way to make go + libxml2 + gokogiri work on windows?
I mean that I may be can install it (but at the moment I can not, stuck with Package libxml-2.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path), but then I need to provide my utilite to other people, who will never be able (or would wish ) to install lall libxml2 dependencies, modify PATH etc on windows...
It work flawless on Ubuntu...
I found this https://github.com/moovweb/gokogiri/issues/49 thats funny with installation of Gimp 2 (what?!), but I still cannot make it run with such error, I guess might be issue with PATH, but all PATH are set

You are struggling because it is hard to combine packages that were built by different people for different purposes and get your environment set up correctly. I think it is best to use MSYS2, an environment for Windows that provides a consistent set of packages for things like gcc, go, libxml2, and iconv. MSYS2 has a package manager (pacman) that helps you easily install them and keep them updated.
I don't do much programming with Go, but I am familiar with MSYS2 and it seems like I was able to get gokogiri installed using MSYS2. You should open MSYS2's "MinGW-w64 Win64 Shell" from the Start menu (mingw64_shell.bat), and try running these commands:
pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-{gcc,go,libxml2,iconv}
export GOROOT=/mingw64/
export GOPATH=/c/Users/David/Documents/goproj/
mkdir -p $GOPATH
go get github.com/moovweb/gokogiri
I think GOPATH should be set to the directory of your project. If you run into an error, it might be because some pacman package is required that I didn't list here.
The string mingw-w64-x86_64-{gcc,go,libxml2,iconv} gets expanded by Bash into the following list of packages:
mingw-w64-x86_64-gcc
mingw-w64-x86_64-go
mingw-w64-x86_64-libxml2
mingw-w64-x86_64-iconv
If you are actually using 32-bit Windows, replace x86_64 with i686 in the instructions above.
If you are curious, the scripts for building those packages are here: https://github.com/Alexpux/MINGW-packages
As a disclaimer, I haven't actually compiled any go programs in MSYS2, so there could be big problems I am unaware of.
Also, one of the main developers of MSYS2 (alexpux) said this in the #msys2 IRC chat on 2015-06-21:
We not build go for a long time.
This package in very WIP state
Also see
https://github.com/Alexpux/MINGW-packages/issues/421
So you might need to fix some issues with the MSYS2 Go package and recompile it yourself to really make this work. But you have the PKGBUILD script that was used to build it, so maybe that will be less hard than what you are trying to do right now, which involves compiling/collecting every dependency of gokogiri.
MSYS2 would make your other installation of go, libxml2, and iconv obsolete. You can delete those things once you get your MSYS2 environment working.
If you are using visual studio and want to add dependency to your project then just install it using NuGet Package Manager it's easiest method.
Install command: Install-Package libxml2
The latex file is giving the following error:
! LaTeX Error: File `datetime.sty' not found.
Here is the Latex code: \usepackage{datetime}
Am I missing something?
I am using Debian 3.1 Linux Machine.
I don't use Debian myself, but if I look it up, Debian contains it in the package 'texlive-latex-extra'. If you installed LaTeX via the packet-manager of debian (I think so) the command 'apt-get install texlive-latex-extra' executed as root should install you the needed file. Alternatively you can use a graphical package-manager to install the package.
If your LaTeX Distribution does not load the package automatically, you can try to install it manually according to the readme file here: http://www.ctan.org/pub/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/datetime/ Edit: http://www.ctan.org/pkg/datetime
Yes, you are missing the datetime.sty file; you are probably missing the whole package too. What system are you using for managing your (La)TeX installation ? If you tell us you may get more specific advice than I can give.
You need to get the datetime package from CTAN or one of its mirrors and install it into your local texmf tree. Your LaTeX manager will do this for you. You may also be able to configure your LaTeX manager to automatically download and install packages the first time they are requested.
I install cygwin frequently enough that it would be handy to have the process automated. Specifically, I want to be able to specify ahead of time the packages that I want to install, so that I don't have to remember them at install-time. Is there any way to do this?
Yes, you can. Assuming you haven't installed Cygwin yet, bash isn't available, so you have to use a CMD script. Here's an example:
setup-x86.exe ^
--quiet-mode ^
--packages ^
aria2,^
atool,^
autoconf,^
...
xmlstarlet,^
zip
and add other packages to the list. The caret (^) character at the end of every line is the line continuation character in CMD scripts. The list of package names is comma-delimited, which is what the --packages option expects, although that's not documented.
You can run setup-x86.exe --help, or see the Cygwin FAQ, to read about the available command line options for setup.
If you name this script, say, setup.bat or setup.cmd, and put it in the same directory as setup-x86.exe, then you can run it to get a one-click install of Cygwin with all of the packages you want.
Note also that you'll have to specify the --site and --root options for a fresh install, or it will kick out of "quiet mode" and prompt the user anyway.
apt-cyg is similar to what I was looking for, although it requires a pre-existing cygwin install with a few non-default packages.
I don't know if you can script it, but I found a 'how-to' on making a custom package directory and the installer to go with it. This way, you can have all the packages you need and have the installer pre-selected.
You can find that article here.
