LegacyOS - Cannot install gtk-youtube-viewer package

[fatguy]

Greetings,

I am trying to install the youtube-viewer application but I am not getting anywhere.


I ran the installer through ROX via right clicking the tar.gz and "installing" it, however no icon shows up anywhere indicating that it has been successfully installed, and attempting to run it via command line in terminal results in

"command not found" for both of the following entries,
gtk-youtube-viewer-3.3.1 and youtube-viewer


I found scripts for it on the system storage device and attempted to install them by hand using Perl commands to which Perl responds,

Code: Select all

sh-3.00# perl Build.PL

Perl v5.10.0 required--this is only v5.8.4, stopped at Build.PL line 4.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at Build.PL line 4.

I dont know how active these forums are, but I sure hope someone can help.

where is the package from? filename?

where is the package from? filename?

here's the link,
http://puppylinux.org/wikka/GtkYoutubeViewer

takes one to here,

which leads to here,
https://github.com/trizen/youtube-viewer




I am convinced that the version of Perl used in LegacyOS is not the appropriate version to install this application based off of the output errors earlier presented.



If that is the case how can I update Perl? we dont have apt-get on this.

I understand that you can play youtube videos in vlc by copying the URL

somebody should confirm but I'm pretty sure that youtube viewer needs a recent copy because of changes within youtube so may be a moving target

john biles the author of legacy would have put it in if it were feasible

maybe some info here:

I dont know if VLC still supports youtube playback. The bundled version with LOS doesn't open youtube streams. While I was formerly aware of its ability, I think that fell off later through time. I cannot confirm this however, all I can confirm is that on my end it doesnt do anything.


I still think the issue I am having is related to Perl, but cannot confirm that, either. Again I reference the output error in question,

Code: Select all

sh-3.00# perl Build.PL 

 Perl v5.10.0 required--this is only v5.8.4, stopped at Build.PL line 4. 
 BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at Build.PL line 4.

Thank you for linking to the thread about LOS. I may try there if noone else tries here.

long thread but look here:

according to the git pages you need libwww-perl

https://metacpan.org/release/libwww-perl

and thats fine, I get that dependencies need to be met,

so how to I fulfill the dependencies?

I am used to apt-get and everything being simple.


I have worked with arch (and slack variantes and a few other odd linux's) before, and can fully get things installed with a good thred post.

I need guidance. so, how do we *anything* from the bash terminal included with pup which does not have something as simple as aptitude?
