TDE-3.5.13 - Base system completed
by Baho Utot 28 Dec '11

28 Dec '11

I have now successfully packaged the following for Arch Linux with the PKGBUILDs and some bash scripts for building this set. They will need to be built using a clean chroot see this link for explaination: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/DeveloperWiki:Building_in_a_Clean_Chro… The PKGBUILD script will show the dependencies for each package. I will moving on to the applications shortly, I need a little break ;) If anyone is interested i have placed the scripts here: git clone https://github.com/baho-utot/trinity.git until they can be incorperated into the tde-packaging repo. # # Dependencies # qt3 - autotools - complete tqtinterface - cmake - complete arts - cmake - complete dbus-tqt - cmake - complete dbus-1-tqt - cmake - complete # # Desktop # kdelibs - cmake - complete kdebase - cmake - complete kdebindings - not needed - not needed kdeaccessibility- autotools - complete kdeutils - autotools - complete kdemultimedia - autotools - complete kdeadmin - autotools - complete kdeartwork - autotools - complete kdegames - autotools - complete kdetoys - autotools - complete kdeedu - autotools - complete kdepim - cmake - complete kdesdk - autotools - complete kdeaddons - autotools - complete kdevelop - cmake - complete kdewebdev - cmake - complete kdegraphics - cmake - complete Thanks to everyone

kdemultimedia and akode
by Bruce Dubbs 28 Dec '11

28 Dec '11

I wanted to share a few things about kdemultimedia. First I didn't see akode in the repository, but I have a copy of akode-2.0.2. With a small patch to allow it to build with gcc-4.6.1, I was able to install it with: sed -i "s/#include <iostream>/&\n#include <cstdlib>/" \ akode/lib/auto_sink.cpp sed -i 's@#include "../lib/decoder.h"@&\n#include <cstdlib>@' \ akode/akodeplay/akodeplay.cpp sed -i "s/<assert.h>/&\n#include <string.h>\n/" \ akode/lib/player.cpp sed -i "s/<iostream>/&\n#include <string.h>\n/" \ akode/lib/magic.cpp ./configure --prefix=$TRINITY_PREFIX --without-ffmpeg make If you want the patch (2 lines change), I'd be glad to send it. I should probably put that and the seds above into one patch. ----- Second, I was able to build kdemultimedia, but one module had a problem picking up where tqt was located. The following did work for me: cp -v /usr/share/aclocal/libtool.m4 admin/libtool.m4.in cp -v /usr/share/libtool/config/ltmain.sh admin/ltmain.sh sed -i -e "s@/usr/include/tqt@$TRINITY_PREFIX/include/tqt@" \ admin/acinclude.m4.in make -f admin/Makefile.common sed -i -e "s@^gentable_LDADD.*$@& -L$TRINITY_PREFIX/lib@" \ noatun/library/Makefile.in ./configure --prefix=$TRINITY_PREFIX \ --with-qt-dir=$QTDIR \ --enable-closure \ --with-vorbis \ --with-alsa \ --with-audiofile \ --with-flac \ --with-akode \ --with-extra-includes=$TRINITY_PREFIX/include \ --with-extra-libs=$TRINITY_PREFIX/lib:$QTDIR/lib && #--with-xine \ #--with-cdparanoia \ #--with-lame \ #--with-theora \ #--with-gstreamer \ #--with-kscd-cdda \ make I still need to add some more prerequisites and test some more, but the PKGBUILD for kdemultimedia indicated akode wasn't available, so I thought I'd share. -- Bruce

Trinity Application Descriptions
by Darrell Anderson 27 Dec '11

27 Dec '11

I created an etherpad containing TDE application descriptions. I extracted much of the information from Helpbook abstracts and then massaged the information accordingly. The extraction process was not fluid or easy to read, even after cleanup. I suspect a few apps are missing from the list. The descriptions are more or less grouped the same as the T-Menu. Everybody please feel free to edit the list as needed. Tim, Calvin: In my web site improvement suggestions I recommended an applications description page. Ideally, we should have full web pages for certain apps, but this list will provide a nice start. Darrell

Konqueror does not always update file pane
by Darrell Anderson 27 Dec '11

27 Dec '11

Is anybody else experiencing this? For example if I manage files outside of Konqueror, the file pane does not automatically update. I have to refresh the pane to see the changes. Is there a config setting that could affect this? Darrell

Packaging naming with GIT
by Darrell Anderson 25 Dec '11

25 Dec '11

With SVN I used a package naming scheme based upon the previous official release number and SVN version: kdebase-3.5.12-125202-i486-1.txz With the official tarballs the package name excluded the SVN version: kdebase-3.5.13-i486-1.txz I expect to continue that naming scheme with official release tarballs, although the version numbers change: kdebase-r14.0-i486-1.txz Enter GIT. GIT uses a weird hash number for each patch version. Is there a more straightforward version number? Or will I have to start naming GIT builds using a date and time scheme? kdebase-20120101_2200-i486-1.txz More generally, should we adopt a common package naming scheme, as much as possible within the limitations of each distro's package naming conventions? Might be nice if all of us use a somewhat similar naming scheme. Ideas? Comments? Darrell

kdenetwork-3.5.13 build
by Bruce Dubbs 25 Dec '11

25 Dec '11

I've been trying to sort out kdenetwork-3.5.13 dependencies for those users who may only want to create a partial build of kdenetwork. I've applied the patch in git, but it looks like one file has not been fixed. phonesessionclient.cc still points to tqname.h. I've added the following to my build script: CLIENT="kopete/protocols/jabber/jingle/libjingle/talk/session/phone/phonesessionclient.cc" sed -i -e 's/tqname.h/qname.h/' $CLIENT Whew! Eight directory levels! However, the sed allows the program to complete the build. I've still got a bit of research to do, but I will create a new patch for LFS and send it to you unless you do it first. -- Bruce

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
by Calvin Morrison 25 Dec '11

25 Dec '11

Greetings All, Almost a year ago, January 31st exactly, I first emailed Timothy Pearson about helping out with Trinity. I wanted to create an improved website and start contributing. Soon I found that I was I could. This has manifested itself in fixing up some bugs, getting trinity on arch, working on the website, planning meetings - everything here and there and in between. Oh my how a year passes. I proudly announce whenever the topic arises that I help contribute and develop the traditional desktop. I am so very proud of everyone involved. For a small development team and limited resources, I think everyone is doing an amazing job. We have a dedicated user base that is growing everyday. Trinity is well on it's way to becoming a Linux household name. Looking back at this year we had some bumps in the road. The release of 3.5.13 was originally scheduled for the first half of the year. Then in June we had a 2 week outage of Tim's servers. We Had a bit of a bumpy (yet successful!) release of 3.5.13 with some mirror problems and we've had to fend off various folks as well as keep the masses calm. But we also release a great product. Trinity Desktop 3.5.13. What a release! It has paved the way for great things to come. We closed a whole host of bugs, and finally have packages available for all of the major distributions, thanks to our dedicated packages. Beta ARM support and other awesome technical feats by timothy have never failed to impress me. The 3.5.13 release has set us up to put out an even better R14 release, and looking into the next year I foresee greatness! Trinity rising triumphantly out of the ashes of the Linux desktop world, soldering in tablet interfaces and lack of configuration. Like a phoenix out of the ashes! ;) But seriously, thank you so much to everyone who has contributed! Thank you to Baho and L0ner, my newly found archlinux packages. To Darrell the unrelenting bug reporter, who has helped us work though many an issue. To Laurent who has provided technical help many a time on the lists. To Robert Xu, my good friend and ally, who has helped lament a season of Chemistry and Physics induced headaches. To David Hare, Kate Draven and Dr Nikolaus Klepp who have helped end users needs by answering repeatedly on the trinity-users mailing list. Thank you to everyone I haven't mentioned, there are simply to many. Most of all I want to pitch my undying support for our tireless leader, Timothy Pearson. His work on Trinity has enabled all of us to come together and move forward. He has guided us through 3 successful releases and will lead us to many more. Tim is an excellent computer programmer and also a amazingly calm and reserved gentleman. Hats of to Tim and a round of applause! I am so excited for R14, and I'm really excited in the direction we are heading, let's make Trinity the best it can be. A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, Calvin Morrison

Building kdeadmin
by Bruce Dubbs 24 Dec '11

24 Dec '11

I've been struggling a bit with building kdeadmin-3.5.13. First the instructions on the HowToBuild page are a bit confusing: 1. Regenerate Autoconf/Automake files cp -Rp <path to your system's libtool.m4 file> admin/libtool.m4.in cp -Rp <path to your system's ltmain.sh file> admin/ltmain.sh make -f admin/Makefile.common Why the -R in the cp command? -R, -r, --recursive all mean the same thing, but are not really meaningful if the source is a file and not a directory. I'm not sure the permissions are meaningful either. I'd just use --verbose. 2. Configure and Build ./configure --prefix=${PREFIX} --sysconfdir=${SYSCONFDIR} \ --libdir=${LIBDIR} make This is where I get into problems. I have qt in /opt/qt and Trinity base in /opt/trinity. Configure fails to find tqt and then thinks it's version 4. It doesn't find qt and fails. This can be overcome with: CPPFLAGS='-I/opt/trinity/include/tqt' \ ./configure --prefix=/opt/trinity ... The --with-qt-includes option does not solve the problem, but the CPPFLAGS can be either before or after ./configure. Environment variables are: PATH=/opt/trinity/bin:/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:\ /opt/texlive/2011/bin/x86_64-linux:\ /opt/llvm/bin:/opt/qt/bin:/opt/xorg/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin PKG_CONFIG_PATH=:/opt/trinity/lib/pkgconfig:\ /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig:\ /opt/qt/lib/pkgconfig:\ /opt/xorg/lib/pkgconfig:\ /opt/xorg/share/pkgconfig QTDIR=/opt/qt Then the make fails in several places. What I finally found that works is: make LDFLAGS='-lqt -lkdecore' \ TQTDCOPIDL=dcopidl2cpp \ TQTDCOPIDL2CPP=dcopidl2cpp This again tells me that configure didn't do it's job. In the Makefile, both TQTDCOPIDL and TQTDCOPIDL2CPP are blank. The LIB_KDECORE variable is set correctly but is not used. LIBTQT_LDFLAGS is set to -ltqt, but that doesn't do the job. There are two programs in /opt/trinity/bin: dcopidl2cpp-tqt and dcopidl-tqt, but they do not work with the input in the Makefile. I did not have any of these problems in KDE3. Is there something I'm missing here? -- Bruce

Trinity 3.5.13 build for Arch linux
by Baho Utot 24 Dec '11

24 Dec '11

FYI Here is an updated status on my progress on building TDE for the Arch liubx distro. I am going to place all the pkgbuild files into a git repository. I will be starting on some of the apps shortly. Is there a place on the trinity website where the 3.5.13 indivual source tarballs are stored? I need this so I can place the url into the build scripts so that the package management system that builds source on arch linux can download by package as needed. qt3 - complete 2011-12-22 tqtinterface - complete 2011-12-22 arts - complete 2011-12-22 dbus-tqt - complete 2011-12-22 dbus-1-tqt - complete 2011-12-22 kdelibs - complete 2011-12-22 kdebase - complete 2011-12-22 kdebindings - not needed kdeaccessibility- complete 2011-12-23 kdeutils - complete 2011-12-23 kdemultimedia - complete 2011-12-23 kdenetwork - barfed kdeadmin - complete 2011-12-23 kdeartwork - complete 2011-12-23 kdegames - complete 2011-12-23 kdetoys - complete 2011-12-23 kdeedu - complete 2011-12-23 kdegraphics - barfed kdevelop - complete 2011-12-23 kdeaddons - complete 2011-12-23 kdewebdev - kdepim - complete 2011-12-23 kdesdk - complete 2011-12-23 Thanks
