Arch Linux

Hi,
just for helping someone I post my experience dealing with PKGBUILD.
1. I need java32-runtime to make a "makepgk -s" on gwclient.
2. For java 32-runtime I had to install java32-common and bin32-jre.
3. Sometimes "makepkg -s" didn't work, I had to use "pacman -U <packagename.xz> instead to make it work. (got java32-runtme dependency error from gwclient, the bin32-jre was theoretically installed though -makepkg -s -).

TIP: after bin32-jre installed with "pacman -U "said that my default environment Java is 32-bit JRE.

Only AFTER that, I could make a "makepkg -s" on gwclient.

Success!

Change --enable-lock-elision to --disable-lock-elision in the lib32-glibc PKGBUILD.

Fixed My gwclient crashing issue.

Guessing I need to do this:

If you have problems with groupwise crashing when starting then you need to recompile lib32-glibc. Change --enable-lock-elision to --disable-lock-elision in the lib32-glibc PKGBUILD.

Still crashing on login for me.

as long as I don't login, it stays up.

logging in causes crash.

I don't know about the Novell Client, but the Novell Messenger is provided by package "nmclient" and the NetWare Core Protocol Filesystem (mount novell shares) is provided by "ncpfs".

It worked! amazing! really really thanks. I'll vote!

Next step.... Novell client install.(OMG)

Btw, please do not flag out-of-date if there is no new version available in the upstream (Novell, in this case).

I suggest reading the following wikis for more information, as well as I recommend checking up the Related Articles in the top-right menu in each page:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/makepkg
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PKGBUILD

But make sure you're building the right way:
$ wget https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gw/gwclient/gwclient.tar.gz
$ tar xvf gwclient.tar.gz
$ cd gwclient
$ makepkg -s

(or with "yaourt", just: yaourt -S gwclient)

Yes, you are right, but I tried with the new PKGBUILD and get "Failed to source" error.
I'm newer in ArchLinux and don't quite undersand how to use PKGBUILD. Little help?

Thanks,

My shell script groupwise.sh.in has a flag to disable the use of libwebrenderer. This should avoid that crash.
But is there a reason for not use PKGBUILD?

@ josephgbr: false alarm... I've got libwebrenderer.so crash issue. I'm at the beginning again.

Wait. Be careful, as my PKGBUILD was changed after January 2014. What misaddressing you found? And what is the problem with the current PKGBUILD ?

new PKGBUILD, adapted to the NEW PKGBUILd of bin32-jre and bin32-jre7, which supports archlinux-java32.

New PKGBUILD, now with arch-dependent arrays. Din't bump pkgrel.

If you have problems with groupwise crashing when starting then you need to recompile lib32-glibc. Change --enable-lock-elision to --disable-lock-elision in the lib32-glibc PKGBUILD.

There also exists a newer version of the groupwise client (8.0.2 2013), but I don't know where to get it online.

For what is worth, groupwise is oftenly (but not always) crashing for me, complaining:
"*** Error in `/opt/novell/groupwise/bin/groupwise-bin': double free or corruption (!prev): 0xe01c5af8 ***"

Full log output: http://pastie.org/9716974

@debugrr: any update on the crash you're getting?

Updated to 8.0.2.90840-7 with a lot of changes:
- new source file for the same version, now with file size 200MB ! WTH :(
- installed all files as possible in /usr/bin and /usr/lib{,32}
- added a executable script in /usr/bin to call Groupwise

ps.: java-runtime-32 is 'bin32-jre7' or 'bin32-jre' packages from AUR

Source is giving a 404.

Update:

gwclient crashed when try to open a mail, unless it has started from console.
If gwclient started from console, works well

I've managed to start the gwclient, and it is stable!
here, what I modified:

- download jdk1.7.0_51 for 32 bit (jdk7u51-linux-i586-tar.gz) from here :http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/java-archive-downloads-javase7-521261.html#jdk-7u51-oth-JPR
- extract and put it into your $HOME
- modify export LD_LIBRARY_PATH changing to 'export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/$HOME/jdk1.7.0_51/jre/lib/i386/client/:/$HOME/jdk1.7.0_51/jre/lib/i386/'

thats it!

Pastie for the file it references:

http://pastie.org/private/o9is4ki6rv61gcvktlne9w

changed first line of /usr/bin/groupwise to:

from !#/bin/sh to #!/bin/sh

changed permissions on /usr/bin/groupwise to make it executeable.

still crashing after 3 seconds.

Checking to see if it is because i'm using a tiling wm.

Same as before:

/opt/novell/groupwise/client/bin/groupwise-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libjvm.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Also /usr/bin/groupwise has these permissions:

└> ls -al /usr/bin/groupwise
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 196 Aug 27 16:02 /usr/bin/groupwise

So it has to be ran from:
/opt/novell/groupwise/client/bin/groupwise

permissions where not an issue with the previous pkgbuild.

@debugrr you might need to resintall 32-bit JRE. Please let me know.

Re-uploaded, issue should be solved now.
@debugrr, please try again.

On -6

Had to add a slash to this line:
-e 's/Icon=.*/Icon=gwclient.png'
Making it look like this.
-e 's/Icon=.*/Icon=gwclient.png/'

After the package is installed I get when trying to start the client:

Hi there and thanks for adopting the package (@josephgbr).

for me the mailbox is working, but i cannot use the calendar. Clicking on calendar gets me to "loading ..." but nothing else happens (even after waiting a really long time.)

here the output for $groupwise when clicking on calendar:

does the calendar just not work for me?

Christoph

It was installed, but I just reinstalled it just now.

Same issue, but I got a whole 3 seconds this time :)

can you please install lib32-libxt (case not installed) and see if something changes?

Sorry, this is the latest one.

http://pastie.org/8989064

Can you please provide the dump file (/home/jgarrett/hs_err_pid2802.log) in a paste site, like http://pastie.org ?

Deleted ~/.novell
removed package
repackaged with new depends/fixes etc.
run groupwise from bash
main window and login box pops up.
put in server info/ and login.
see my mailbox for about 2 seconds then crashes.

most of it looks like the exception you noted already.

Added libgnome to depends, as required to open attachments (in GNOME, at least).

Well, there is a folder ~/.novell . You could try removing it

Would you happen to know all the locations it stores configs?

I'm still getting a crash, but I want to make sure it is not because of anything I'm doing/did.

Once I sort it out, I'll post more information.

Testing as soon as I have a chance.

Updated the package (to 8.0.2-5).

Fixed the crash by disabling the use of external HTML viewer (if more crash is found, please let me know)

Solved the stack guard issue (wasn't crashing, just a warning)

However, Groupwise still shows some exception, which apparently are harmless. Since GW is not open source and nothing seems to crash, I won't touch this for now. More information related to this exception can be read in http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9758069/validatetree-in-java-7-x-doesnt-work-in-java-6-x-was-fine/12849959#12849959

You are awesome, Thank you again.

Downgraded JavaRE to 7u21, but it didn't work.
Started a thread hoping to get some help from community: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1399352

Let me know if there is anything I can help with.

Now I notice it is crashing.

I fixed LD_LIBRARY_PATH "bin32-jre/jre", but nothing changed (I also improved readability of the sed command the changes LD_LIBRARY_PATH)

I tried to run 'execstack -c /opt/novell/groupwise/client/lib/libgwapijni.so.1' (executable from 'prelink' package) but it didn't solve the issue.

The crashes in Groupwise generate a debug log. I'm trying to find something in it that can give me a clue what is going on.

When possible I'm going to try to downgrade JRE and see how it goes.

Also, the LD_LIBRARY_PATH in /opt/novell/groupwise/client/bin still reads:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/novell/groupwise/client/lib:/opt/bin32-jre/jre/lib/i386:/opt/bin32-jre/lib/i386/client

Downloaded new PKGBUILD.
Removed Old gwclient packaging area
Removed previously installed package
Repackaged with New PKGBUILD
Reinstalled new package

Packaged successfully, opened, crashed when I logged in.

(Sorry PasteBin is blocked at my current location.)

I uploaded a new package version. Please try and let me know the result.

changed the path to match below.
Same crash.

Right, that's why if you look closely in the sed command, I replaced...

/opt/bin32-jre/jre/lib/i386

with...

/opt/bin32-jre/lib/i386

... to reflect the current package bin32-jre

(sorry if this is not very easy to see. This wouldn't happen if I had updated the package)

P.S. Thank You!! for picking up this package! :)

It requires package 'bin32-jre', which currently installs Oracle JRE 7 update 51... Can you please be sure you have this package installed and that the 'groupwise' script is pointing to correct java path?

Compiles great (after combining lines 46 and 47)

Still get the error below when trying to login.

Maybe it requires the Oracle 32bit jre?
Maybe even an older version? 6 maybe?

Thank you!

Here is an updated and improved PKGBUILD http://pastie.org/8957062 - it works for me.

- Updated for 8.0.2 HP4 build 102299
- Using multilingual (so it comes in other languages as well)
- symlinked script to /usr/bin (groupwise in the PATH!)
- symlinked desktop file and its icon, so can be seen in GNOME's Activities Overview
- Added (lib32-)libxrender to 'depends', as it is a run-time dependency.
- Moved dependencies for packaging only to 'makedepends'
- Renamed function 'build' to 'package', as no build (compilation) is done.

Had a request to disown this so someone else could pick it up, disowning.

hacked it to shreds.... but got it to compile and run....

Even tired reinstalling lib32-glibc -- incase libpthread.so was messed up...

any suggestions?

hacked together a PKGBUILD using yours as a guide, and 8.0.2-4 (Final for linux)
got it to compile, but having issues loading rt.jar... specifically:
java/lang/classnotfoundexception error in opening jar file

May have messed up the sed's or hosed something else.

link to 8.0.2 hp 4
https://gwclient.innerweb.novell.com/client/gw802hp4linuxclient.zip
https://gwclient.innerweb.novell.com/client/gw802hp4linuxclientm.zip

the 'm' version is the multilingual version.

I would be able to test it. (Have access to a Groupwise server)
Just need help getting it compiled at the moment.

Thanks a bunch Vryali. I'll be looking forward to anything that may come of it.

I've had no real way to test this for years... I can test the installation aspect when I have some time maybe this weekend, but I have no way to test anything beyond trying to open it.

Looks like Novell has modified the package. There is no longer a jre folder but a java folder. It's also no longer a zip file any more, at least from where I found it...which required a log in. But this PKGBUILD is broken on many levels right now. I've tried everything within my ability to make this work but failed miserably. I'd love to see this work again.

Can't test it, but looked fine when I built it. Updated.

The hp3 version is up on the download site you're pulling hp2 from.

my fault, sorry!

Either provide a link or stop bloody flagging the package out of date. Everytime I check I see the 2012 version, but there is not a link for the Linux client.

groupwise 2012 is out!

Was flagged out of date for no apparent reason... Checked and I still have the latest Linux version here. If you want to flag something out of date, kindly state why so I can look into it (Alternatively, investigate it yourself and tell me or request I disown the package so you can adopt and update it). Unflagged the package.

I don't have the ability to actually test groupwise as far as connecting goes, but I did go ahead and build the package on x86_64 with the libstdc++5 package (NOT the lib32 version) and didn't have any problems.

$ uname -m && pacman -Qs|grep libstd
x86_64
local/libstdc++5 3.3.6-4

64-bit dependencies should contain lib32-libstdc++5 instead of libstdc++5

Sorry, I don't really use it either so I'd be an even worse maintainer.
A customer at work had lost some emails and I just wanted to have a look at it using the groupwise client.

If you'd like I can disown the package so you can adopt it. I don't use groupwise anymore, but I hate seeing disowned packages, so I just keep it up-to-date as people let me know about issues or newer versions. Happy to just apply your change after you verify it though, as well. Just tossing that out there :)

It works for me on i686, but I'll test this evening on x86_64.
I had to make some extra changes to make it work (LD_LIBRARY_PATH). I'll send you a patch after I've verified x86_64.

If you can verify openjdk works, sure; Let me know and I'll change the PKGBUILD.

Would it be possible to change bin32-jre to java-environment?

Lucky that you don't have to use gw anymore!

PKGBUILD is working for me! Thanks!

I went ahead and updated the PKGBUILD - I don't use groupwise anymore, so let me know if it doesn't work. Thanks for the ping =]

please update srcname to:
gw802hp2linuxclient.zip

Created a single package for both architectures, do not use this package.

Created a single package for both architectures, do not use this package.

Additionally, needs rpmextract.

If someone wants to tell me how to make the groupwise client packages build properly variant with architecture I'd love to hear it, otherwise there's one package for each architecture up atm :)

I should have a PKGBUILD that works for gwclient 32 bit architecture, but I can't actually build that until I install a 32bit VM to makepkg on. That aside, if someone is able to tell how to change the PKGBUILD here so that it supports either architecture, I'd appreciate it. A simple if statement would do it, but it doesn't seem I can put a variable into the dependancies line, so I'm not sure where to go from there and posting on the forums for assistance has yielded no help. Feel free to email me if you have a 32 bit architecture and would like to make this work for you / can't figure it out yourself; I'd be more than happy to give you a hand and ensure it works on both architectures :)
