tdelibs missing dependencies (libr-dev, gettext-kde)
by Michele Calgaro 13 Dec '12

13 Dec '12

Hi there, this is my first post, so let me introduce myself. My name is Michele Calgaro (Michael if it easier for you) and I discovered TDE only very recently. I have set myself the task to contribute to TDE's development in my spare time (among one thousand other things to do :-) ), at least a little. I am trying to compile everything on my laptop (running Debian testing) using the scripts in the tde-packaging repository. Everything is ok until I get to tdelibs. When I try to compile tdelibs, I get 2 unmet dependencies I can not solve. They are: - libr-dev - gettext-kde dpkg-checkbuilddeps: Unmet build dependencies: gettext-kde libr-dev I have checked the Debian package archives and there are no such packages in any distribution (stable, testing, sid, experimental, not even lenny). I have managed to track down a possible gettext-kde package for ubuntu at "https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gettext-kde/0.10.35-0ubuntu2" but obviously wonder if the version is applicable or not. But no luck at all for libr-dev. No matter how much I searched the internet, I couldn't find anything about it except for some links to TDE debian/control files commits. I also tried to remove such dependencies from the debian/control file and compile nevertheless, but as I expected the build fails since it can't find libr - checking for one of the modules 'libr' CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:751 (message): elficon support was requested, but libr was not found on your system -- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred! You are obviously compiling tdelibs without problems, so what am I doing wrong? Or better, where can I find those missing packages? Also, since those packages are not part of debian and apparently ubuntu, IMO it would be worth considering importing such packages in the TDE git repository if possible (and if I am not missing something else here) Thanks and looking forward to help the TDE team if I can. Bet regards Michele

That sounds encouraging, but I don't know how to do that. Darrell

Re: [trinity-devel] Can not seem to get tqt to build.

>Thanks for that Darrel. I am tryng to follow what Arch recommends but >it is to no avail. Perhaps I am doing something wrong, or there >is a configuration to get the package to build tat I do not know of. >The package is tqt3, though I have tried to get qt3 to build too and >that does not build either. So I am pretty confident now that it is >user(me) error somewhere, somehow. I know this can be frustrating. There are some Archers subscribed to this list and they should be helping you. A lack of responses is status quo in this list. Sometimes I wonder why we bother keeping this mail list active. :( Just a wild guess, do you have qt4 installed in your build environment? If yes then possibly try removing that package in your build environment. Posting a build log might help too. I use the tee command to create a log. Here are my tqt3 configure options. Notice that -platform must be explicitly declared when building on 64-bit. if [ "$LIBDIRSUFFIX" = "64" ]; then PLATFORM="linux-g++-${LIBDIRSUFFIX}" else PLATFORM="linux-g++" fi echo "yes" | \ CFLAGS=$CPUOPT \ CXXFLAGS=$CPUOPT \ ./configure \ -v \ -prefix $INSTALL_PREFIX \ -libdir $LIBDIR \ -release \ -I/usr/include/mysql \ -I/usr/include/freetype2/freetype \ -L/usr/lib${LIBDIRSUFFIX} \ -qt-imgfmt-png \ -qt-imgfmt-mng \ -qt-imgfmt-jpeg \ -qt-gif \ -qt-style-motif \ -system-zlib \ -system-libpng \ -system-libmng \ -system-libjpeg \ -shared \ -no-pch \ -thread \ -stl \ -no-g++-exceptions \ -platform ${PLATFORM} \ -cups \ -ipv6 \ -nis \ -sm \ -xshape \ -xinerama \ -xcursor \ -xrandr \ -xrender \ -tablet \ -xkb \ -xft \ -plugin-imgfmt-mng \ -plugin-sql-mysql \ -plugin-sql-sqlite \ -plugin-style-cde \ -plugin-style-compact \ -plugin-style-motifplus \ -plugin-style-platinum \ -plugin-style-sgi \ -plugin-style-windows \ -lfontconfig \ -inputmethod \ -enable-opengl \ -dlopen-opengl \ || exit 1 I hope this helps. :) Darrell

Re: [trinity-devel] Currently going through images...

>... I am sure there are more... and if there is a list anywhere >please let me know about it. As I find specific images I plan to set up >an etherpad page for the images. I have tried twice to reply to this message and both times the mail bounced back as spam. Of those apps you listed, only kdevelop has been renamed (tdevelop). To my knowledge none of the others in your list are going to be renamed. This etherpad has a list of what has been renamed: http://trinity.etherpad.trinitydesktop.org/17 Darrell

Okay, I went to the top level of my repository, ran git pull -- rebase and the result was this: git pull --rebase remote: Counting objects: 492, done remote: Finding sources: 100% (480/480) remote: Getting sizes: 105% (19/18) remote: Compressing objects: 100% (6/6) remote: Total 480 (delta 337), reused 474 (delta 337) Receiving objects: 100% (480/480), 55.07 KiB, done.

Testing udisks2 backend and polkit agent
by Serghei Amelian 09 Dec '12

09 Dec '12

Hello, For anybody who want to test my udisks2 backend and polkit agent, I prepared a live cd based on Fedora 17. The ISO image is a little to big, it needs some cleanup. The root password is "toor". http://wifimag.ro/fedora/17/livecd-wifimag-201209081703.iso http://wifimag.ro/fedora/srpms There is a repo as well, to install on an already installed fedora 17: http://wifimag.ro/fedora/17/kde3.repo Have fun :) -- Serghei

That commit is the only place in the entire GIT sources requiring a dependency on demangle.h. The only place the include is required is tdebase/kdesktop/lock/backtrace_symbols.c. Darrell

GIT change
by Timothy Pearson 09 Dec '12

09 Dec '12

All, I have recently blown away the history of the main TDE GIT supermodule (which does NOT contain any files, only submodule references) in order to speed up processing and downloading of that supermodule. The aforementioned history was not useful, consisting primarily of automated updates to the submodule hashes. I have, however, left the 3.5.13-sru branch and associated tags intact as there is no good way to shrink/squash them. Developers, please delete and re-download the top-level GIT supermodule. I have temporarily locked out commit access to that top level supermodule to prevent accidental merges of the old history. All other GIT modules continue to have normal read/write permissions for the TDE development team, so the impact of this should be minimal. One of the most developer-visible benefits of this change is that the TDE commits web page will now update every 6 hours instead of every 12 hours. Tim
