Call me stupid, but is a replica of a shell script for Firestorm Viewer for Second Life in a log file form (since .sh extensions isn't uploadable) that I got from reading and following the instructions on https://wiki.firestormviewer.org/fs_compiling_firestorm_linux makes me feel that the devs made a booboo somewhere in the handling of curl downloading the archive which if you download it manually is in the .tar format, not in the expected tar.gz format as the guide tells you.

I know that it says Clone 3p-FmodStudio(optional) in the guide, but if it improves the audio-based experience in SL I say why not use it?

Here's what I've done so far until it failed to extract the archive:

Code: Select all

mkdir -p ~/src
cd ~/src/
git clone https://vcs.firestormviewer.org/phoenix-firestorm
git clone https://vcs.firestormviewer.org/fs-build-variables
git clone https://vcs.firestormviewer.org/3p-libraries/3p-fmodstudio
cd ~/src/3p-fmodstudio


I put the deb package of FM Studio API and fmodstudioapi20206linux.tar.gz in that directory as the guide tells you to.

I now did:

Code: Select all

export AUTOBUILD_VARIABLES_FILE=$HOME/src/fs-build-variables/variables

As I get to do autobuild build -A 64 --all it fails with this error:

curl: (7) Failed to connect to 192.168.1.115 port 80: No route to host
ERROR: building configuration {'configure': None, 'build': None, 'default': True, 'name': 'default'} returned 7
For more information: try re-running your command with --verbose or --debug

I know that I'm supposed to replace that internal local adress with a URL to download the archive from and if I replace that with https://d2m8b09s60for2.cloudfront.net/f ... api/Linux/ I get this error:

+ tar xvf fmodstudioapi20206linux.tar.gz
tar: This does not look like a tar archive

gzip: stdin: not in gzip format
tar: Child returned status 1
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
ERROR: building configuration {'configure': None, 'build': None, 'default': True, 'name': 'default'} returned 2

Here's the download URL for the tar.gz copied from the download window in Firefox:

Code: Select all

That last part looks to me be the key that is missing, but how do I implement it to the script?

So what's your actual question ?

If tar is not able to extract your archive, it's usually the wrong file type or corrupted.
Also if you have the file fmodstudioapi20206linux.tar.gz already, why not simply rewrite the build script to simply copy this file into the build folder instead of downloading it with curl ?

doktor5000 has a valid point there. After reading your description what you did and the official description what you should do it seems that you didn't follow the official description and try to do some fancy stuff on your own.

...and when curl throws an error that says it cannot connect, that's a pretty solid indicator that your download has failed and hence there is nothing to unpack.
