Build requirements
by Darrell Anderson 20 May '24

20 May '24

Where in the wiki are the expected build environment requirements listed (and not out of date)? I'm am trying to build TDE 14.1.2 on Slackware 15.0 32-bit. Fails to build because of a "Value too large for defined data type" error. This seems to be a specific 32-bit error. I have not read anything that 32-bit no longer is supported in TDE. I'm trying to build 14.1.2 on some vintage 32-bit systems. The tqt3 build fails with many errors and fatal errors. Cmake version 3.5.2 is installed but tqt3 does not use cmake. While vintage systems are EOL, R14.0.12 built fine on these systems. So something else has changed or was introduced since them. Thanks.

tdelibs FTBFS

I'm building R14.1.2 on some older systems. R14.0.12 compiled fine on these systems. I am hoping the trick is back porting a patch or two. On a Slackware 14.2 64-bit system the build fails as so: [ 37%] Generating tdespell-en-handbook cd /tmp/build/tmp-tdelibs/tdelibs-trinity-14.1.2/build-tdelibs/doc/tdespell && /tmp/build/tmp-tdelibs/tdelibs-trinity-14.1.2/build-tdelibs/kdoctools/meinproc --srcdir=/tmp/build/tmp-tdelibs/tdelibs-trinity-14.1.2/build-tdelibs/ksgmltools2 --check --cache index.cache.bz2 /tmp/build/tmp-tdelibs/tdelibs-trinity-14.1.2/doc/tdespell/index.docbook /bin/sh: line 1: 22600 Bus error /tmp/build/tmp-tdelibs/tdelibs-trinity-14.1.2/build-tdelibs/kdoctools/meinproc --srcdir=/tmp/build/tmp-tdelibs/tdelibs-trinity-14.1.2/build-tdelibs/ksgmltools2 --check --cache index.cache.bz2 /tmp/build/tmp-tdelibs/tdelibs-trinity-14.1.2/doc/tdespell/index.docbook doc/tdespell/CMakeFiles/tdespell-en-handbook.dir/build.make:60: recipe for target 'doc/tdespell/index.cache.bz2' failed make[2]: *** [doc/tdespell/index.cache.bz2] Error 135 make[2]: Leaving directory '/tmp/build/tmp-tdelibs/tdelibs-trinity-14.1.2/build-tdelibs' CMakeFiles/Makefile2:10862: recipe for target 'doc/tdespell/CMakeFiles/tdespell-en-handbook.dir/all' failed make[1]: *** [doc/tdespell/CMakeFiles/tdespell-en-handbook.dir/all] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory '/tmp/build/tmp-tdelibs/tdelibs-trinity-14.1.2/build-tdelibs' Makefile:138: recipe for target 'all' failed make: *** [all] Error 2 What do I look for?

Ray-V Slackware Build Scripts
by Darrell Anderson 13 May '24

13 May '24

Ray V., * k3b FTBFS. The failure occurs when the BUILD-TDE.sh 'script -c' command tries to build the package. The command string fails to parse variables to create the build log file name. This is the only package that fails this way for me. * tdeedu package: missing mangzip_fn. * tdeaccessibility package: missing mangzip_fn. * tdebase: DWITH_SASL is OFF but should be ON to support the same option in tdepim. Otherwise kmail cannot authenticate. * tdevelop: FTBFS. I haven't yet dug into why. * I'm in no position to demand anything, but a tdenetworkmanager build script would be nice. Otherwise Slackware will default to using the GTK nm-applet. * These are your build scripts to satisfy your own itch, but the scripts are shared publicly as though intended to help others create TDE packages. Curiously though there is no easy way to allow users to build the handbooks. The get-source.sh script explicitly declares "set ( BUILD_DOC ON CACHE BOOL "Set but not used for this project" )." * I previously raised the issue, but build scripts never should modify the upstream /etc/profile or root's .bashrc. Thanks for your time.

tdebase handbooks
by Darrell Anderson 08 May '24

08 May '24

I'm building 14.1.2 packages on Slackware 15.0 using the ray-v build scripts. The default in those scripts is not to build any handbooks. I have been tweaking the scripts to compile the handbooks. For some reason the related handbooks never compile in the tdebase package. The handbooks are compiling in other packages. The DBUILD_DOC="ON" option is set. The tdebase sources contain the related docbook files. I do not notice anything in the build log, but I don't really know what to look for. For the moment I'd like to keep the conversation generic. What should I look for that might cause the handbooks to not build only in tdebase? Thanks for any guidance.

Cursor follies
by J Leslie Turriff 08 May '24

08 May '24

I've mangled my cursor settings by attempting to install phinger-cursors-dark-left from https://github.com/phisch/phinger-cursors/. Now in Control Center => Peripherals => Mouse, Cursor Theme tab, I have only Adwaita and No theme (classic X cursors). It appears that TDE uses a specific archive format for cursor packages, different from those used by Gnome, etc. I get a message, "The file index.theme does not appear to be a valid cursor theme archive." There is no description of the file format in the Help Center file for the Mouse module, though there is a cryptic message: "The features provided by this tab may not be available on some systems. Your system may need to be updated to support cursor themes." There appear to be no configuration files in .trinity/share/apps|config relating to the Mouse module.

Re: Proposals (OAuth, FBReader, Touchpad settings)
by blu.256 07 May '24

07 May '24

Hello! I fully support your proposals and they actually mirror some of my own wishes for TDE. (Please excuse me for mentioning all of them in a single reply.) OAuth support is imperative in 2024 and it's in my plans to add the support but I think it depends on a good modern web engine (TDEHTML of course won't work with GMail's OAuth authentication page). I was hoping to attempt a WebKit port once I get a machine powerful enough to build WebKit but unfortunately I don't know when that will be. Touchpad settings are another thing I wanted to look into. It seems adequate to assume most users are using libinput nowadays, so we need a TDE Control Module to wrap its settings. I think there is a library we can use for that. I used to use FBReader a lot and I agree it's a superb application (even though its UI takes a little getting used to). If it has a Qt3 version, we can maintain that, I think, especially since you mentioned its development is abandoned. Unfortunately, of course, there are few of us working on TDE, so it might take some time. Probably the easiest proposal to implement is get the old GPLv2 version of FBReader under the TDE umbrella. The source code is available here: https://github.com/geometer/FBReader We might have to rename it in order to avoid conflicts with the developers of the proprietary version (TDEReader??). -- Philippe MAVRIDIS On Friday, May 3rd, 2024 at 7:25 PM, Alexis PM via tde-devels <devels(a)trinitydesktop.org> wrote: > Hello > > I think it would be very interesting to incorporate in TDE control center a 'touchpad' settings section or add extra touchpad-related options to current 'mousepad' section.

In the sense of http://qsynaptics.sourceforge.net and https://github.com/sibskull/synaptiks but instead of being based on synpatics, perhaps based on (or additionally supporting) libinput. > > Thank you so much! > ____________________________________________________ > tde-devels mailing list -- devels(a)trinitydesktop.org > To unsubscribe send an email to devels-leave(a)trinitydesktop.org > Web mail archive available at https://mail.trinitydesktop.org/mailman3/hyperkitty/list/devels@trinitydesk…

Yet, for too many years running since first observed, it's happening yet again after doing no more than using kpersonalizer: Checkboxes checked/enabled in Eyecandy-O-Meter: Desktop Wallpaper Display Contents in Moving/Resizing Windows Icon Highlighting Icons on Buttons Large Panel Icons Panel Background Picture Panel Icon Popups Smoothed Fonts Sound Theme and then after the desktop painted, I clicked on the menu starter to produce the popup. Normally I first do clock configuration, panel configuration and the usual customizations in KControl, but this time I skipped that, closed the two new user windows, and went straight to menu starter to cause the malformed popup. :P After that happened, I logged out of TDE again, deleted .trinity again, then opened a new session in exactly the same fashion, kpersonalizer > close KTip > close TDE license window > click menu starter. So obviously it doesn't take a whole lot of effort to reproduce. I don't seem to be able to /not/ reproduce it, since I've done it today 4 times already. Note that unlike years ago, it's not a just once thing. If the session is kept open and used normally, the popup recurs when attempting to use the menu starter. -- Evolution as taught in public schools is, like religion, based on faith, not based on science.
