iteration over ABC ressources
by deloptes 31 Jan '16

31 Jan '16

Hi all, could you please help a bit. I try to iterate over resources in address book, but fail so far. using namespace TDEABC; AddressBook* kab = TDEABC::StdAddressBook::self(false); TDEABC::StdAddressBook::setAutomaticSave(false); TQPtrList<Resource> lit = kab->resources(); TQPtrListIterator<Resource> it( lit ); Resource *res; while ( (res = it.current()) != 0 ) { ++it; debug() << "SUB RES ID :" << res->identifier() << "\n"; } but I get std-test.cc: In function ‘int main(int, char**)’: std-test.cc:72:38: error: invalid use of incomplete type ‘class TDEABC::Resource’ debug() << "SUB RES ID :" << res->identifier() << "\n"; ^ In file included from /opt/trinity/include/tdeabc/addressbook.h:29:0, from /opt/trinity/include/tdeabc/stdaddressbook.h:24, from std-test.cc:7: /opt/trinity/include/tdeabc/addressee.h:45:7: error: forward declaration of ‘class TDEABC::Resource’ class Resource; ^ In file included from /usr/include/tqt3/ntqstrlist.h:46:0, from /usr/include/tqt3/ntqstringlist.h:47, from /usr/include/tqt3/ntqcolor.h:46, from /usr/include/tqt3/ntqpalette.h:46, from /usr/include/tqt3/ntqwidget.h:48, from /usr/include/tqt3/ntqdesktopwidget.h:43, from /usr/include/tqt3/ntqapplication.h:45, from /usr/include/tqt/tqapplication.h:33, from /opt/trinity/include/tdeapplication.h:40, from std-test.cc:3: /usr/include/tqt3/ntqptrlist.h: In instantiation of ‘void TQPtrList<type>::deleteItem(TQPtrCollection::Item) [with type = TDEABC::Resource; TQPtrCollection::Item = void*]’: std-test.cc:92:1: required from here /usr/include/tqt3/ntqptrlist.h:153:21: warning: possible problem detected in invocation of delete operator: [-Wdelete-incomplete] if ( del_item ) delete (type *)d; ^

TDE/KDE3 API docs
by deloptes 20 Jan '16

20 Jan '16

Hi, I'm trying to find a compiled version of the docs but when I try this here http://api.kde.org/3.5-api/ I find out that it is incomplete. Example: I try kdepim-apidocs/kaddressbook Not Found The requested URL /3.5-api/kdepim-apidocs/kaddressbook/html/classes.html was not found on this server. Apache Server at api.kde.org Port 80 Otherwise I should compile the docs from the source - correct? Is there a procedure as I already pulled the pim sources from git? Thanks in advance

dcopidl2cpp
by deloptes 13 Jan '16

13 Jan '16

Hi In a KNotesIface_stub.h file I find following in the header /**************************************************************************** ** ** DCOP Stub Implementation created by dcopidl2cpp from KNotesIface.kidl ** ** WARNING! All changes made in this file will be lost! ** *****************************************************************************/ Inside the file (this is from old KDE opensync code) there is a lot of QTString and similar which needs to be prepended with T. So I am wondering where do we find the TQT style of the file, or how one is suppose to create it... and in general what is that all about. Someone has experience with it? Light in the dark? I do not have too much time to dig in all that stuff and I have the feeling that I need some guidance in TDE or at least the part that I am interested in. Can someone provide a summary on this specific case? AFAIK DCOP is the successor of the CORBA from KDE1/2 responsible for IPC/RPC ... and I don't know what they use today in >KDE4. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DCOP https://techbase.kde.org/Development/Architecture/DCOP I'm familiar with serialization from the axis corner. So in theory the knowledge is there. The context is my attempt to build a TDE backend for syncevolution. I have some experience in completeing Akonadi plugin for opensync in KDE4. Now I've successfully created 42lines of test code to read my addressbook, so trying to achieve the same for knote, which as far as I know is one of the challenges.

TDE apps and automake
by deloptes 11 Jan '16

11 Jan '16

Hi, I asked already once but there was no answer. How can I get the cflags and libs for TDE applications? I read and followed this manual: https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/KApplication_template I updated the code sample to use the new (r14) headers. I then found out I had to do following export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/opt/trinity/lib/pkgconfig c++ `pkg-config tqt --cflags` `pkg-config tqt --libs` test.cc -o test but it was unsufficient. I had to change to following to be able to compile c++ `pkg-config tqt --cflags` -I/opt/trinity/include \ `pkg-config tqt --libs` -L/opt/trinity/lib -ltdecore -ltdeui \ test.cc -o test So why is no pkg-config for tdecore and tdeui ? or how can I use cmake from within automake project to get what I need? thanks

TDE vs Plasma 5 boot time
by Alexandre 05 Jan '16

05 Jan '16

Hi all, I am currently running Plasma 5 (KDE 5) on my desktop computer, and I find that Plasma 5 is capable of booting, from login to desktop, faster than TDE on the same machine. This computer is an humble Core 2 duo with 2gb of ram, probably from 2008 or so. While this is great for KDE, it is not that great for TDE, because KDE is built on much heavier toolkit and frameworks than TDE. And TDE (with its KDE 3 past) was built to run well on P2-P3 computers. The thing is that even with much faster computers, it should have near instant boot time. So, I don't know if there could be ways to re-organize TDE startup sequence, or maybe to prefetch so things in TDM. Maybe starting TDE modules in parallel could help? May 2016 be a great year for you all! -Alexandre

Query about Gentoo and Trinity
by E. Liddell 05 Jan '16

05 Jan '16

I'm embarking once again on my periodic quixotic quest to corral all ebuilds (Gentoo packages) for Trinity and combine them into a usable overlay. Is anyone else (Fat-Zer?) still working on this? If not, does anyone know of any old overlays with substantial material that isn't in the following? https://github.com/serghei/gentoo-trinity-overlay/ (Serghei's--long dead) https://github.com/Fat-Zer/trinity/ (Fat-Zer's--still on 3.5.13) https://bitbucket.org/mgebert/gentoo-trinity (dropped by author as of July) (plus the one I was working on with Roman back in 2011, for which I ironically have the materials but not the URL) In particular, I'm looking for better post-kde-sunset support for the packages still building with autotools. I keep hoping that someone else will take up the torch on this, but everyone who's tried seems to lose interest within a year or two, so I'm reluctantly going to give it another shot. The intention here is to: 1. collect existing materials in one location 2. do appropriate version bumps as new versions of Trinity come out (I'll be automating this as much as I can) 3. try to get *something* into the official overlays list and the Gentoo wiki, so that people at least know it's there (an unfun but necessary step) 4. centralize efforts so that people interested in working on this don't get mired down in version-bumping old ebuilds I lack the skills, time, and energy to create the substantial number of new ebuilds needed for a complete overlay. If anyone else offers to pitch in and help with this, I will be *ecstatic*. (Otherwise, the only way forward may be to offer cash incentives.) Of course, I may get nowhere at all (again), especially since I'm currently rebuilding my test environment after the xorg-server and xorg-driver packages somehow managed to desync. :( E. Liddell
