I am trying to install cetoys. The main Source Forge page provides a .src.rpm file. I downloaded it and ran:

sudo alien -i cetoys-0-r4.src.rpm

It produced the following output:

(Reading database ... 209118 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to unpack cetoys_0-1_amd64.deb ...
Unpacking cetoys (0-1) over (0-1) ...
Setting up cetoys (0-1) ...

I thought maybe it was installed so I tried running rapi help. Which just informed me rapi command not found. I have never used alien before, and I don't really know what I am doing. Where would it have installed cetoys?

  • Does `dpkg --listfiles cetoys` produce any output? – Mark Plotnick Nov 25 '15 at 18:40
  • Yes:`/. /cetoys.tar.gz /cetoys.spec /usr /usr/share /usr/share/doc /usr/share/doc/cetoys /usr/share/doc/cetoys/copyright /usr/share/doc/cetoys/changelog.Debian.gz` – still_dreaming_1 Nov 25 '15 at 18:57
  • Just noticed it's a .src file. That's source code, not executables. http://cetoys.sourceforge.net/doc/index.html has instructions for building it. I'd guess that `/cetoys.tar.gz` is the tarball of the source. – Mark Plotnick Nov 25 '15 at 19:14
  • @MarkPlotnick I though alien would get at the source and build it and install it, but I guess that was wishful thinking. Rats... – still_dreaming_1 Nov 25 '15 at 19:21

When you follow your link http://sourceforge.net/projects/cetoys/ >> Browse all files >> cetoys/r4/ ,,, you will find "cetoys-0-r4.x86_64.rpm" http://iweb.dl.sourceforge.net/project/cetoys/cetoys/r4/cetoys-0-r4.x86_64.rpm Which is a binary package : $ sudo alien cetoys-0-r4.x86_64.rpm

You will get : cetoys_0-1_amd64.deb ,,, which can be installed, and can run when a couple of special dependencies are installed beforehand.

1) libhal1_0.5.14-8_amd64.deb http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/h/hal/libhal1_0.5.14-8_amd64.deb

2) libsynce0_0.15-1.1_amd64.deb http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/libs/libsynce/libsynce0_0.15-1.1_amd64.deb

Both are Ubuntu 12.04 packages. 'libsynce0' is a "Helper library to sync Windows Mobile devices".

"cetoys_0-1_amd64.deb" provides /usr/bin/{ cidb, rapi }.

  • It's either still not installed correctly, or there is something I need to do to "initialize" cetoys. When I run `rapi ls "/Documents and Settings"` I get `Error 1 (package not initialized properly). System error 1 (Incorrect function.).` – still_dreaming_1 Nov 25 '15 at 23:46
