Local Install Of Packages - Opie Image

[douglasamcintosh]

Tried the opie image again.

Copied all the packages (well most) to my CF card, when I found one that worked, including the Package files etc.

Added lines to ipkg.conf of the type

src src_name  /directory/of/packages

tried to update package lists.

Would not work, tried to wget the files.

Tried to local install with:

ipkg install -d root packagename.ipk

Told me it could not find the package.

What am I doing wrong. The simpad does not have a net connection. I just want to play scummvm on it.

Added lines to ipkg.conf of the type

src src_name /directory/of/packages

Do:

src src_name file:///directory/of/packages

Then run 'ipkg update' to update the list of files, then try installing things.

Thank you good sir. That did the trick.

One hopes you are not too lardy

scummvm doesn not work though, just says bus error.

My pleasure,

lol, no I have a BMI of 24.4 (so I just worked out on the web , the nick just refers to my penchant for eating egg & bacon for (nearly) every meal in my first year at uni, though as I'm getting older I can actually feel my lardiness increasing

No idea about that I'm afraid.
