Wine is extremely slow, how do I find out why? - macports

Recently I updated Wine (among other things) via port selfupdate from version 1.2 to version 1.4. After that it takes roughly a minute to start up, even simple things such as wine cmd or winecfg. CPU usage also spikes to about 140%.
I've tried completely removing and re-installing MacPorts (yes, I removed ~/.wine) and it's still as slow.
How do I get to the bottom of this?

On 2012-03-20 I updated fontconfig to 2.9.0_0; fontconfig is used by wine and other ports to find fonts. Unfortunately there was a problem where fontconfig did not create its cache files correctly, causing it to try to recreate them each time you use a program that uses fontconfig; this could take a minute or more, depending on your disk speed and how many fonts you have installed, since it's indexing all your fonts.
I updated fontconfig to 2.9.0_1 on 2012-03-27 with a patch to fix this so the usual "sudo port selfupdate" and "sudo port upgrade outdated" commands should fix this.

VOLTTRON install on rasbian buster

Can I get a tip for installing on rasp buster? Im hung up on the install directions to check the status of the rabbitMQ server. Traceback of bash console:
(volttron) pi#raspberry:~/Desktop/volttron $ echo 'export RABBITMQ_HOME=$HOME/rabbitmq_server/rabbitmq_server-3.7.7'|sudo tee --append ~/.bashrc
export RABBITMQ_HOME=$HOME/rabbitmq_server/rabbitmq_server-3.7.7
(volttron) pi#raspberry:~/Desktop/volttron $ source ~/.bashrc
pi#raspberry:~/Desktop/volttron $ RABBITMQ_HOME/sbin/rabbitmqctl status
bash: RABBITMQ_HOME/sbin/rabbitmqctl: No such file or directory
There are a few tracebacks earlier on the installation...
If it makes a difference or not here is the entire bash console process. The git gist link I just created the name install.py even though its just bash commands copied pasted per install directions...
`pi#raspberry:~/Desktop $ git clone https://github.com/VOLTTRON/volttron --branch releases/7.x`
It looks like there are a couple of different issues going on here:
The issue you quote above (RABBITMQ_HOME/sbin/rabbitmqctl: No such file or directory) is that your shell isn't finding the rabbitmqctl command. It looks like you added the RABBITMQ_HOME environment variable to your .bashrc, but used the string RABBITMQ_HOME instead of the variable expansion $RABBITMQ_HOME when you tried to run the command. Try running it as $RABBITMQ_HOME/sbin/rabbitmqctl status instead.
The rabbitmqctl status command will check the status of the rabbitmq application, but I don't think you've done anything to start it yet (that happens when you bootstrap the platform and/or start the platform configured to use the RMQ broker)
I think that the traces earlier in the installation process are problematic (appears to be the same error hit two different ways), but you just haven't run into them yet. I haven't seen any issues building gevent on the RPi 4 with buster (though it is pretty slow), but the ctypes error makes me wonder if there's an issue with the underlying c library it is trying to build on top of. I did notice that you're getting amd64 erlang packages, are you running Raspbian on an x86 processor? (if so this isn't a permutation we've tried and you may be hitting some package compatibility edge case we haven't seen)
One thing to try is to manually install cython into your virtualenvironment and then try running the bootstrap script again with the virtualenvironment activated. You could also try and pip install gevent==20.6.1 directly in that virtualenvironment (this is what the bootstrap script was doing at the failure point). VOLTTRON depends on gevent, so if that isn't installing the platform won't be able to run.

How to cause build system to fail compilation in case patch fail to apply

I'm using an OpenWRT environment for code development.
Now, OpenWRT build works by first fetching a package from remote repository, extract it and later apply local patches on top of that code.
What I've noticed is that in case the patch fails to apply, the build itself not always fail, and that creates problems from entire system perspective.
I'm looking for a way to define that in case a patch is fail to apply, the entire build will fail.
Thank you all in advance!
According to the documentation, the easiest way to spot build failures would be to run make V=s 2>&1 | tee build.log | grep -i '[^_-"a-z]error[^_-.a-z]'.
If you know you are having issues with a specific package, I would specifically build those packages via make package/<pkgname>/compile V=s and see where it is failing.
Also, I would try testing the image out in qemu before flashing a real device. That way you can verify your build.

MacPorts: install hangs/remains unusable

I've been trying to install MacPorts on a new Mac Pro with a fresh, fully updated Yosemite OS. The installer hangs on 'Running package scripts'. So I tried to build it from source. That works, with the installer stating:
Congratulations, you have successfully installed the MacPorts system.
However, it seems unusable. When I do sudo port install apache2 I get the message:
Error: Port apache2 not found
Simply trying to do a 'self update' (as root):
sh-3.2# port -d selfupdate
DEBUG: MacPorts sources location: /opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/tarballs
---> Updating MacPorts base sources using rsync
receiving file list ... done
base.tar
...and then nothing... I've waited for half an hour, but it won't go any further. I can't find any logs either.
Again: there's nothing special about my setup, it's out-of-the-box Yosemite, only updated through the App store and, of course, I've installed Xcode with command line utilities and formally accepted the license, as is required according to the MacPorts site.
I've also tried uninstalling it, using the instructions from the MacPorts site, and reinstalling. But it does not make a difference.
I've read quite a few forum posts, but I can't find any post relating a problem like this. I hope someone can shed some light on this.
The installer hangs running package scripts because the last statement in these package scripts is exactly this "sudo port selfupdate" that you've been running manually afterwards.
Because this step did never run, your MacPorts installation lacks knowledge about the apache2 port (which is exactly why the installer runs selfupdate to give you a full-featured installation).
Unfortunately Apple's infrastructure (rsync.macports.org) seems to have connectivity problems at the moment, which is causing problems for quite a few people. You can try using one of the mirrors as outlined at https://trac.macports.org/wiki/Mirrors.

MacPorts Build of Gimp ends prematurely

I wanted to install The Gimp on my mac. It's not in the HomeBrew tree, so I decided to install it with MacPorts, which I've never used before, and installed today just to build The Gimp. I used the command recommended at http://alemani.com/installing-the-gimp-with-macports/ namely
sudo port -v install gimp +quartz +animation +python27 -x11
After more than 5 hours, I got this:
---> Activating gimp #2.8.14_0+quartz

x ./+CONTENTS

---> Cleaning gimp
---> Removing work directory for gimp
Error: Port + not found
and the job stopped. Now, The Gimp is installed, and it seems to be working, although I haven't done any real testing. But the verification that the website above indicates will happen never took place.
What does the error message mean? Is there a way I can use MacPorts to audit if the build was successful, and perhaps to repair it? Or, can I fix whatever was wrong and resume the build? (I'm not willing to wait another 5 and half hours to get to this point, though.) Or can I say to hell with it, and uninstall The Gimp and MacPorts? How do I do this? (I know there are pre-built binaries out there, and I would have grabbed one if I'd known the build was going to take so long.)
I really don't want to invest any time in learning MacPorts, since I'm happy with HoneBrew, so if someone can lead me by the hand, I'd be grateful.
The error message indicates you had a space between + and one of the variant names in the command line you invoked. That likely means gimp was not installed with the variants you chose – you can check which variants were used by running port installed gimp.
Anyway, if GIMP is running as you expect it to, you don't need to do anything at this point. You can force the check you were missing by running sudo port rev-upgrade (and it will also look a little different from the output mentioned on the website), but it's really just a sanity check that should not find any problems.

In OpenBSD how to upgrade individual system files like (grep, rcs, rlog ) to latest version?

I am attempting to run foswiki on OpenBSD. Things are installed and i am able to open "/bin/Configure" page of foswiki configuration screen. but the page reports few errors, complaining that following files are either not found or outdated and new versions are required.
The Files are : grep, rcs, ci, co,rlog, rcsdiff
I tried commands like "pkg_add -Uu" to upgrade packages installed, but it reports all packages are uptodate.
I also tried "pkg_add rcs" "pkg_add grep" etc but non works.
So my basic question is how to I update above files to their latest version required by foswiki.
Regards
While I’m not familiar with Foswiki, my first thought is your web server is chrooted, as this is the default on OpenBSD, and, as a result, Foswiki cannot find the files it needs. You can copy the files Foswiki needs into the chroot or run the web server without chroot, which is bad from a security perspective.
all programs mentioned are part of a base openbsd install and the above answer is correct. the openbsd documentation on chrooted apache has more info.
if you don't have to stick with foswiki you can try dokuwiki instead which has package support on openbsd and installs easily in very much the same way you tried already:
sudo pkg_add -U dokuwiki
hope the process is pretty much self-descriptive. in addition, the manpage for pkg_add is a good thing to read. good luck!
