Alpine NoMachine installation

[mckaygerhard]

Hi, long time to the point.. I tried again .. this time Alpine 3.15 and using command line:

/usr/NX/nxserver –install redhat

when was at the compiling modules of usb, got a output rare:

NX> 700 Compiling the USB module.
Illegal option -p

cheeking at the output note this log using

NX> 700 Installing XDG Mime.
NX> 700 Running: /usr/bin/xdg-desktop-menu install –mode system ‘/usr/NX/share/applnk/client/xdg/NoMachine-nxs.desktop’ ‘/usr/NX/share/applnk/client/xdg/NoMachine-nxw.desktop’ ‘/usr/NX/share/applnk/client/xdg/NoMachine-nxv.desktop’ ‘/usr/NX/share/applnk/client/xdg/NoMachine-nxr.desktop’.

NX> 700 Running: /bin/mkdir -p ‘/media/nomachine’.
NX> 700 Result: OK.

I see that the only “-p” is the mkdir command but that has no sense because I am not using the busybox flavor.. I already installed all the tools from coreutils and bash also. But the crapo of sudo its invoked.. sop install the wrapper for

following the guide in https://t.me/alpine from codeberg.org/alpine/alpine-wiki i installed the doas-sudo-shim package and redone the install, now got this:

awk: /usr/NX/etc/server.cfg: No such file or directory
Error relocating /usr/NX/lib/libcrypt.so.1: __stpncpy: symbol not found
NX> 700 Starting install at: Mon Sep 12 02:16:44 2022.

NX> 700 Using installation profile: Red Hat.
NX> 700 Install log is: /usr/NX/var/log/nxinstall.log.
NX> 700 Compiling the USB module.
Illegal option -p

 

It seems there is some error but the scripts do not give me enough output in the log.. cos now , please any help this time dont do the typical “closed due lack of response”

this time the output at the log do not show errors.. the complete output is:

Hi, thanks for taking the time to report this. From the log it seems that you need to install gcc make and headers. Take a look at the article here about USB:

What to do if USB support is disabled on Linux with NoMachine 6 or later installed
