libmikmod3.1.11 url not valid
Aaronov opened this issue · 10 comments
The libmikmod3.1.11 url for ps3libraries is no longer a valid URL and so when building the toolchain it will fail. An alternative URL is:
ftp://mirror.ovh.net/gentoo-distfiles/distfiles/libmikmod-3.1.11.tar.gz
Hm? The original URL still works for me?
The link does appear to work, BUT the file seems corrupt and gzip fails on it.
I just tested downloading it on my windows machine however and it appears fine.. hmm weird?
A temporary problem perhaps? I got exactly the same file from both URLs.
It seems to be a problem with wget. I can download it fine through firefox but wget seems to only download part of the file. I tried using the --no-cache option but same problem. Any ideas?
EDIT: After further investigation the file does download but GZIP has problems with it.
gzip: stdin: not in gzip format
tar: Child returned status 1
tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors
I can use Archive Mounter though and the contents of the file are ok.
Hm, so if you download from one URL you can use gzip on it, but not the other? The result should be exactly the same file... Maybe your wget automatically gunzips the file or something? Could you check the file sizes? (Also, what version of wget are you using?)
I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 and wget version is 1.12. The file size when downloaded is "2816000 bytes". It's odd though if I right-click on the file and use the Archive Mounter I can actually access the contents just fine. But using tar or the Archive Manager fails.
2816000 is the uncompressed size. So then wget has gunzipped the file for you. Which means it can't be gunzipped (because it already has been), and it can be opened with tar iff you omit the "z" flag.
So the question then is how to prevent wget from gunzipping the file. The wget 1.12 I have on Ubuntu 11.04 doesn't do that...
Pretty weird stuff. I tried googling for wget auto gunzipping but nothing turned up. I wonder if anyone else has this issue in 10.04. What is more odd is all the other libraries before libmikmod don't have this problem.
As a side question I was curious if 11.04 will build the ps3toolchain and everything just fine? I assume it does as you say you are using 11.04.
Cheers
Weird is only the beginning of it. I built wget_1.12-1.1ubuntu2.1, which is the version shipped with Ubuntu 10.4, but I was unable to reproduce your problem with it.
You don't happen to have a HTTP proxy configured, do you?
Well, I built the ps3toolchain from scratch on 11.04 just the day before yesterday without any hitches at all. I haven't tried 11.10 though.
Just tried it with 11.04 and same problem. Seeming very likely it's a proxy/cache problem now except that I haven't setup a proxy to use. The network I'm connected to might be doing some caching or something though. Anyway, it seems like a problem on my end so this can be closed I guess. Thanks for the help anyway.
