Check that indented lines really have a TAB character after the first character (a space or a '-', depending on the line), followed by 4 spaces. Copy & paste from the forum might have messed whitespace characters. |
I'm having some trouble with this. You're saying that the indented lines (lines 4, 9, 10, and 14?) should have:
<space><tab><space><space><space><space>
as the white space at the beginning of the line?
And the lines with a dash (line 11?) should be:
-<tab><space><space><space><space>
Sorry, I've never tried to patch something before, please excuse my ignorance :) |

Welcome to the forums.
Rather than try to repair the patch, I suggest you get a clean copy, the easy way:- Start a reply-with-quote to the post containing the patch
- In the text edit box on the reply page, copy the patch to your clipboard, and then paste it into your favorite editor.
- Save the content of the editor as a patch file.
- Close the reply-with-quote page without replying. You only needed it for the side effect of getting the text edit box.
This path preserves whitespace, where copying it from the reading view of the thread does not. |

Thank you! I'm glad to be here! I'm loving Gentoo; the performance gains are real!
Thanks for the tip, that was what I needed to do.
So I got it to patch, but trying to install it by running:
| Code: | $ sudo ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc
bash: ./configure: No such file or directory |
So I made configure.ac executable and ran:
| Code: | $ sudo ./configure.ac --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc
./configure.ac: line 1: syntax error near unexpected token `2.59'
./configure.ac: line 1: `AC_PREREQ(2.59)' |
and now I don't know what to do. I suppose the error has something to do with dependencies, because it mentions prereq's, but how to resolve it is beyond me.
It would be great if there was a way to get the latest version (3.5, I believe) to work, but it uses meson to install, so everything is different and the patch doesn't work on it. |

I believe that version 3.5 doesn't need patching, just the extra option -Dsystemdsystemunitdir=/lib/systemd/system in the invocation of meson on a Gentoo OpenRC computer. Plus the service script for OpenRC because the installed systemd service unit file won't do anything.

Okay so the extra option let me install the service, and I was able to make a rc script, but net.hadess.SensorProxy.conf is not in the noted location and the service stops. find / -iname SensorProxy yeilded no results. |

iio-sensor-proxy 3.5 should have net.hadess.SensorProxy.conf installed in /usr/share/dbus-1/system.d, with the same effect. Is it not there?

Oh, yes, but for some reason find didn't find it.
Okay, so here's what I get, and the log files didn't get created:
| Code: |
# rc-service iio-sensor-proxy start
* Starting iio-sensor-proxy ...
* start-stop-daemon: (null) does not exist
* Failed to start iio-sensor-proxy [ !! ]
* ERROR: iio-sensor-proxy failed to start

Did you use the script that was posted in this thread? Repeat with the verbose option:
| Code: | | # rc-service -v iio-sensor-proxy start |

Yeah, the second version with the logging stuff.
| Code: | $ sudo rc-service -v iio-sensor-proxy start
* Executing: /lib/rc/sh/openrc-run.sh /lib/rc/sh/openrc-run.sh /etc/init.d/iio-sensor-proxy start
