cubevectorgot a tar archive I can't expandOct 05 13:18
cubevector"unable to set file uid/gid"Oct 05 13:19
cubevectoroops, wrong channel :)Oct 05 13:19
oiaohmcubevector: not running as root and root made the archive I would guess.Oct 05 13:23
cubevectoroiaohm, it's got gid cubeman and there's no gid cubemanOct 05 13:23
cubevectorit's only gid user on this other boxOct 05 13:23
cubevectoris there a way to expand the archive and use a differnet gid?Oct 05 13:24
cubevectorhmmm, -w seems to do the trick, even though it still complains, it expanded all the filesOct 05 13:32
oiaohm--no-same-owner --no-same-permissions  Normally does it.  cubevectorOct 05 13:41
oiaohmIe obliteration of permission date.  cubevectorOct 05 13:41
oiaohmdate/dataOct 05 13:41
cubevectoroiaohm, doesn't seem like I have those options in bsdOct 05 13:43
cubevectorthen the last error message is bogusOct 05 13:45
oiaohmOk what tar do you haveOct 05 13:45
oiaohmI just said gnu tar option.Oct 05 13:45
MinceRgnu tar can run on bsd though, can it not? :>Oct 05 13:45
cubevectorummm, maybeOct 05 13:46
oiaohmtar (GNU tar) 1.23Oct 05 13:48
cubevectorit doesn't seem to have a version beyond openbsd 4.7 at the bottom of man tarOct 05 13:48
oiaohmResonably modern by the way.Oct 05 13:48
oiaohmtar --version  cubevectorOct 05 13:48
oiaohmget the program to tell you what it is.Oct 05 13:48
cubevector"unknown option"Oct 05 13:48
cubevectorthose crazy bsd guys :-POct 05 13:49
MinceR:>Oct 05 13:49
cubevectorplus of course it won't compileOct 05 13:50
cubevectorcan't find xlib.hOct 05 13:50
oiaohmdo you have gtar ?  cubevectorOct 05 13:51
oiaohmYes you find that on freebsdOct 05 13:51
oiaohmtar and gtarOct 05 13:51
oiaohmtar useless bit if crap on freebsd.Oct 05 13:51
cubevectoroh okOct 05 13:51
oiaohmthe gtar version being gnu tar that works.Oct 05 13:52
cubevectoryeah I wonder why openbsd isn't more popular :)Oct 05 13:52
oiaohmThe default tar in openbsd and freebsd are to posix spec.Oct 05 13:53
oiaohmWithout all the nice fix me when I stuff up options.Oct 05 13:53
oiaohmthat were developed latterOct 05 13:53
MinceRbut real bsd fanboys don't use gtar anyway :>Oct 05 13:54
cubevectorany ideas on how I can pass where to find xlib in configure?Oct 05 13:55
cubevectorxlib.h ratherOct 05 13:55
MinceR--with-x or --with-xlib or something like that?Oct 05 13:56
MinceRperhaps ./configure --help tells youOct 05 13:56
cubevectorhmm, there's two different gtar'sOct 05 13:56
cubevectoryeahOct 05 13:56
oiaohmWhat are you trying to make cubevectorOct 05 13:56
cubevectoroiaohm, just trying to port my xrubik program to openbsdOct 05 13:56
oiaohmOk you will need to find where xlib.h is then.Oct 05 13:56
oiaohmYou have installed X11 development files?  cubevectorOct 05 13:57
oiaohmYes I was swaring porint a program once and I had forgot todo that.Oct 05 13:57
cubevectorcheckingOct 05 13:57
cubevectorgot gtar on finallyOct 05 13:57
oiaohmWho would think tar could cause some many problems.Oct 05 13:58
cubevectorthis stuff is more different than I thoughtOct 05 13:58
oiaohmreally I know how hard it is.Oct 05 13:59
cubevectorok, it's in /usr/X11R6/include/X11/Oct 05 13:59
oiaohmI once attempted to help developers take code for Linux accross to openbsd.  I will not again.Oct 05 13:59
cubevectorXlib.h I should sayOct 05 14:00
oiaohmsolaris was more frendly.Oct 05 14:00
cubevectorhmmmOct 05 14:00
MinceRhm, if there was a graphical frontend to tar, it would be called guitarOct 05 14:01
oiaohmxarchiveOct 05 14:01
oiaohmand other creative names MinceROct 05 14:02
cubevectordamn itOct 05 14:02
cubevectorstill can't find Xlib.hOct 05 14:02
MinceRoiaohm: it was a pun :>Oct 05 14:02
oiaohmReally you cannot be sane and name gui after the command line tool.  MinceROct 05 14:02
oiaohmThat would make using the system too simple.Oct 05 14:03
oiaohmYes I was leading up to a pun as well.Oct 05 14:03
oiaohmWe believe in system secuirty not userfriendly ness. confusing is good.  MinceROct 05 14:03
cubevectorI could just patch the C file but that seems wrongOct 05 14:04
cubevectorwait a sec, I have an ideaOct 05 14:05
oiaohmCFLAGS=-I/usr/X11R6/include/X11/  ? cubevectorOct 05 14:05
cubevectoruh, but how do I pass that to configure?Oct 05 14:06
oiaohmCFLAGS=-I/usr/X11R6/include/X11/ ./configureOct 05 14:07
oiaohmReally check if X11 has a value set option of path.Oct 05 14:08
oiaohmIn configureOct 05 14:08
oiaohm--x-includes=  Would be handy right now if you created your autotools configure right.  cubevectorOct 05 14:09
oiaohmand the --x-libraries  could be required as well cubevectorOct 05 14:09
cubevectoroiaohm, this is weirdOct 05 14:20
cubevectoropenbsd seems to have divided my hard drive into 9 different thingsOct 05 14:20
cubevectoryeah I think it's time for a coffee breakOct 05 14:22
oiaohmI bet its text book Oct 05 14:22
oiaohmcubevector: Oct 05 14:22
cubevectorwell it is secure, I must give it thatOct 05 14:28
MinceRor so they say :>Oct 05 14:31
oiaohmReally there is the old unix text book way of doing it.Oct 05 14:38
oiaohmAnd there is the lazy modern day way of doing it.Oct 05 14:38
oiaohmThe idea of more secure is not exactly true.Oct 05 14:39
oiaohmIf the data is all on one drive and the drive fails numbers of partitions makes no difference.Oct 05 14:39
cubevectoroiaohm, that is trueOct 05 15:06
cubevectorbut they have nosuid automatically in almost all partitionsOct 05 15:07
oiaohm2 partitions would have completed the same goal.  cubevectorOct 05 15:07
