BMP2 - ports<Resolved>.......

[goatman]

I downloaded and burned the latest live CD fromFreeSBIE to try out an alternate FreeBSD, since this one is working so well for me on this box. I didn't want to download one that would have to go on the hard drive, because that would mean another install ..... I liked the BMP2 music player they had on FreeSBIE, that I de3cided to install it to PC-BSD. Well, I looked into ports and found it, so I did "cd/usr/ports/multimedia/beep-media-player", then "make install clean" ; I did the same with bmp-extra-plugins and bmpx so I could get the whole thing. It did it's thing for about 20 or 30 muinutes, and then finished and came back to the command prompt. I searched for the BMP@ player in the menu, but it wasn't there. Now, I have re-booted the computer to see if that would help, but I still don't have the player. I must be missing something, so I'm asking for suggestions as to where I can find this app, and how I can get it to working. THX, goatman

Try something like:

whereis bmp

:wink:

Have you tried typing "bmp" in terminal?

You're using KDE as your window manager, ne'ce pas?
It took my PC-BSD machine a little while to find anything from ports. Namely Firefox2.0 linux.

Try looking for "bmp" in Find for a directory and try manually adding it to your program tree.

Other than that, XFCE4 found all my apps without me having to do a thing. Maybe you could give it a try if nothing else works.

I hope I'm being helpful.

From a terminal type beep and then the tab key will finish it off as beep-media-player and then enter...on the desktop, right click and choose Create New and then Link to Application, type in beep-media-player in the Application -> Command field and your home directory as the work path. On the General tab you can click on empty icon and find an icon to suite your tastes.

or

KMenu -> Settings -> Menu Updating Tool and scan...it wont show up in the list but will after you scan in the KMenu -> Settings -> Menu Editor where all you need to do is choose an icon.

Yeah, port installers never install a KDE menu item, which is unfortunate. Often, the Menu Updater will help, but even then, sometimes it doesn't work.

PBI installations, on the other hand, do create KDE menu items - another positive for the good guys.

Jim, your next task, should you choose to accept, is to create a PBI for the bmp player!

[goatman]

I couldn't find it using any of the suggestions; I was using the wrong name ..... it's bmpx :lol:
so this is where I found it (as root):

PCBSD# find bmpx
find: bmpx: No such file or directory
PCBSD# locate bmpx
/usr/ports/multimedia/bmpx
/usr/ports/multimedia/bmpx/Makefile
/usr/ports/multimedia/bmpx/distinfo
/usr/ports/multimedia/bmpx/files
/usr/ports/multimedia/bmpx/files/patch-m4-gettext.m4
/usr/ports/multimedia/bmpx/pkg-descr
/usr/ports/multimedia/bmpx/pkg-message
/usr/ports/multimedia/bmpx/pkg-plist
PCBSD# locate beep-media-player
/usr/ports/multimedia/beep-media-player
/usr/ports/multimedia/beep-media-player/Makefile
/usr/ports/multimedia/beep-media-player/distinfo
/usr/ports/multimedia/beep-media-player/pkg-descr
/usr/ports/multimedia/beep-media-player/pkg-message
/usr/ports/multimedia/beep-media-player/pkg-plist
PCBSD# whereis bmpx
bmpx: /usr/ports/multimedia/bmpx
PCBSD#

I'm not sure it is installed :? Is it?, or do I need to install it again?


dracheflieger I'm using 1.2, so I had a little trouble finding the menu updating tool following your path :lol:, but I finally found it in kmenu>utilities>settings>menu updating tool.
I followed your instructions, but the icon that I put onto the desktop gives me a message

KDEInit could launch 'bmpx'.:
Could not find 'bmpx' executable.

.I wonder if I made a mistake somewhere along the way ...... I'd better take another look at the handbook .

[dracheflieger]

hmmm...I installed it after reading your initial post so I could see what it was all about...that's how it set it on mine...beep-media-player. I too am using 1.2 but it's been beaten and abused and updated from 1.0 so things have come and gone in the menuing system. Hmmm...searching the ports shows:

multimedia/beep-media-player GTK2 multimedia player
multimedia/bmpx           Media player geared towards usability, technical efficiency and looks

I installed the first one...

I installed all three .....
I just don't understand the /usr/ports location. Is there something I need to do to activate it?

locate won't find it, as that database is only updated once a week. 'whereis' should find it in any of the standard places, if it got installed. Make sure it is installed:

# pkg_info | grep beep

It should show if it got installed okay. If it does, then do:

# pkg_info -Lx beep

This lists all the files the port installed.

[goatman]

OOPS :!: I think I need to try again, .... what say you

PCBSD# pkg_info | grep beep
PCBSD# 
PCBSD# pkg_info -Lx beep
pkg_info: no packages match pattern(s)
PCBSD# pkg_info | grep bmpx
PCBSD#
PCBSD# pkg_info -Lx bmpx
pkg_info: no packages match pattern(s)
PCBSD#

Looks like I didn't get either one :!:

I've just re-tried: and this is the last part of the output :

checking for BASE_DEPENDENCIES... configure: error: Package requirements (glib-2.0 >= 2.12.0    atk >= 1.9.0    pango >= 1.12.0    cairo >= 1.2.0) were not met:

Requested 'glib-2.0 >= 2.12.0' but version of GLib is 2.10.3
Requested 'cairo >= 1.2.0' but version of cairo is 1.0.4

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables BASE_DEPENDENCIES_CFLAGS
and BASE_DEPENDENCIES_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

===>  Script "configure" failed unexpectedly.
Please run the gnomelogalyzer, available from
"http://www.freebsd.org/gnome/gnomelogalyzer.sh", which will diagnose the
problem and suggest a solution. If - and only if - the gnomelogalyzer cannot
solve the problem, report the build failure to the FreeBSD GNOME team at
gnome@FreeBSD.org, and attach (a)
"/usr/ports/x11-toolkits/gtk20/work/gtk+-2.10.6/config.log", (b) the output
of the failed make command, and (c) the gnomelogalyzer output. Also, it might
be a good idea to provide an overview of all packages installed on your system
(i.e. an `ls /var/db/pkg`). Put your attachment up on any website,
copy-and-paste into http://freebsd-gnome.pastebin.com, or use send-pr(1) with
the attachment. Try to avoid sending any attachments to the mailing list
(gnome@FreeBSD.org), because attachments sent to FreeBSD mailing lists are
usually discarded by the mailing list software.

It seems as if I wasn't paying enough attention when I installed the other nite ops: ops:

I'm going to give bmpx a try now:

I don't know what I've done wrong, any ideas?
