I've got a pine64 board, which is running the arm64 version of debian. I'd like to build lgogdownloader, which suggests I should use this apt-get command:

apt install build-essential libcurl4-openssl-dev libboost-regex-dev \
libjsoncpp-dev liboauth-dev librhash-dev libtinyxml2-dev libhtmlcxx-dev\
libboost-system-dev libboost-filesystem-dev libboost-program-options-dev\
libboost-date-time-dev help2man cmake libssl-dev

But this gives me a missing package error:

E: Unable to locate package libhtmlcxx-devlibboost-system-dev
E: Unable to locate package libboost-program-options-devlibboost-date-time-dev

How do I go about fixing this? I presume this is just that no-ones built those packages for the arm64 architecture? Could I do it myself? How?

  • The first step would be to download the sources apt-get source pkgname. See if you can download those. But a more productive approach might be to email the Debian mailing list for your arch and ask for help and advice.

You've dropped some spaces: it's libhtmlcxx-dev libboost-system-dev and libboost-program-options-dev libboost-date-time-dev. You need to add a space before two of the \s in your command:

apt install build-essential libcurl4-openssl-dev libboost-regex-dev \
libjsoncpp-dev liboauth-dev librhash-dev libtinyxml2-dev libhtmlcxx-dev \
libboost-system-dev libboost-filesystem-dev libboost-program-options-dev \
libboost-date-time-dev help2man cmake libssl-dev

But lgogdownloader is already available for arm64, in Debian 8 (stable), testing and unstable; so you should just be able to install that directly.

apt install lgogdownloader

If you do want to rebuild it, a simpler option to install the build dependencies is to run

sudo apt-get build-dep lgogdownloader

I've uploaded version 2.28 to Jessie backports, so that could be an option too if you're running Debian 8 and would like a newer version of lgogdownloader (once it's accepted into the archive). (I'm the lgogdownloader maintainer in Debian.)

  • Thanks - that looks better! The version of lgogdownloader I'm getting through apt didn't seem able to communicate with gog properly, so I thought I'd try building it myself.

  • Also, the instructions on github.com/Sude-/lgogdownloader appear to be wrong, if you can get them updated!

  • Ah right, I didn't realise the Jessie version couldn't communicate with gog.com properly... I uploaded 2.28 to Jessie backports yesterday, it's in the queue and should be available soon (and I'll make sure newer versions are uploaded too). I'll submit a patch to update the instructions on Sude's site!
