Missing help handbooks
by Darrell Anderson 15 Jan '14

15 Jan '14

All, With respect to the recent conversation about helping the Trinity project, here is a list of apps that have no help handbooks: kdevdesigner (tdevelop) kstreamripper tderadio ksquirrel ktorrent kbarcode kbarcode-single kbarcode-editor kbarcode-batch kbibtex kpalmdoc (kpilot) dolphin kiosktool kvaio (kcontrol module) thinkpad (kcontrol module) kcmview1394 (kcontrol module) display (kcontrol module) kmobile (tdepim) All of the apps have had no help handbook since the KDE3 days. If you enjoy using one of those apps and want to help, please consider writing something. You do not need to deal with docbook. If you send me a text file I will massage the information into a help handbook file. The text need not be a novel. Sometimes a few paragraphs is sufficient. For most handbooks, a description and highlighting the main features is a nice start. Thank you! Darrell

Upcoming automake changes you should be aware of in automake 2.0
by David C. Rankin 15 Jan '14

15 Jan '14

All, All packages that use automake and have subdirectories in the build tree may fail to build with the release of automake 2.0. I am working on this for hal, but I suspect other packages may be impacted. See: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=69874 -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Re: [trinity-devel] LibreOffice and Trinity dialogs

As far as I can tell, something like the following is needed in the build script: ==================== ... # Check for an installed Trinity and assume TQt. # We need additional tests to ensure LO has been patched correctly. TDEDIR=${TDEDIR:-""} # to avoid "TDEDIR: unbound variable" if [ ! -z "$TDEDIR" ]; then export TDEDIR="$TDEDIR" export QTDIR="$QTDIR" export QTINC="$QTDIR/include" export QTLIB="$QTDIR/lib${LIBDIRSUFFIX}" TDEOPTS="--enable-tde" else TDEOPTS="--disable-tde" fi ... ./autogen.sh \ --prefix=/usr \ --docdir=/usr/doc/$PRGNAM-${LOVER}${VERSION}${PKG_SUBVER} \ --libdir=/usr/lib${LIBDIRSUFFIX} \ --sysconfdir=/etc \ --mandir=/usr/man \ ... ${GITOPTS} \ ${KDEOPTS} \ ${TDEOPTS} \ ... ==================== My build attempt failed when I tried to build the latest stable, 4.1.4. I filed bug report 1799 showing the failure messages. http://bugs.trinitydesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1799 Seems the expected directory and file location has changed from previous versions of LO. My guess is we need to push an appropriate patch upstream to the LO folks. Darrell

>This is not a standard Debian / Ubuntu builds - it is Tim's builds >on Trinity build-farm. Luck you. :) >By the way, in the Debian Wheezy is officially LibreOffice 3.5.4 >:) However, in wheezy-backports and Jessie is already 4.1.4. I have 4.1.4 installed from a third party Slackware repo, but there is no Trinity support. Asking to add that support would be a waste of time as Trinity is not part of the "official" Slackware eco system. All desktops not supported in the official releases must be maintained by interested third parties. This is why I filed the bug report and want to see a mini how-to posted to the wiki. Those who are faced with compiling LO on their own need all the support they can get. Darrell

Arch - hal FTBS Makefile issue - Calvin help me sort out
by David C. Rankin 15 Jan '14

Calvin, (Archers) Hal is failing at the beginning with a weird makefile error. Full error at: http://www.3111skyline.com/dl/dt/tde/err/hal-makefile.err.txt PKGBUILD is: http://www.3111skyline.com/dl/dt/tde/err/PKGBUILD-hal Basically the error looks like: <snip> parallel-tests: error: required file './test-driver' not found parallel-tests: 'automake --add-missing' can install 'test-driver' hald/linux/addons/Makefile.am:80: warning: source file '../../logger.c' is in a subdirectory, hald/linux/addons/Makefile.am:80: but option 'subdir-objects' is disabled automake: warning: possible forward-incompatibility. automake: At least a source file is in a subdirectory, but the 'subdir-objects' automake: automake option hasn't been enabled.

I tried that. No luck. No build failures or complaints, but no index.docbook in the package. Darrell

Python help please to fix help handbook installation
by Darrell Anderson 15 Jan '14

15 Jan '14

All, Would one of you python experts, or even a python newbie, which I am not, look at (git sources) kstreamripper/doc/SConscript? The script does not install the index.docbook file into the package, only installing index.cache.bz2. Including the index.docbook file is necessary. Should take about two minutes to fix? :) Thank you! P.S. Yes, the kstreamripper help handbook is nothing but a template. One problem at a time. :) Darrell

Re: [trinity-devel] Progress - All build dependencies updated for Arch - howto NOHAL?

> Currently tdelibs/CMakeLists.txt has: >option( WITH_HAL "Enable HAL support" OFF ) > > Does that mean that HAL is OFF by default now? Yup. :) When you build on a HAL system then manually add -DWITH_HAL=ON. I do that when I build for Slackware 13.1, a HAL system. Darrell

Progress - All build dependencies updated for Arch - howto NOHAL?
by David C. Rankin 14 Jan '14

14 Jan '14

All, Darrell, Progress! Not as bad as I thought. All pre-build dependencies not provided by Arch have been updated and built! 15:39 phoinix:/dat_e/tde/tstbld> l1 repo apetag-git-1.13-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz libkarma-0.1.2-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz libnjb-2.2.7-3-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz libutempter-1.1.6-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz mt-daapd-0.2.4.2-7-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz musepack-tools-svn-r484-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz xmedcon-0.13.0-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz I'll work R14 first, then look at 3.5.13-sru. For R14, to build with NOHAL is all that is needed is to tell tdelibs/tdebase it is a NOHAL build with: cmake ${srcdir}/tdebase \ -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=${TDEDIR} \ -DSYSCONF_INSTALL_DIR=/etc \ -DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS="-fpermissive" \ -DWITH_ARTS=ON \ -DWITH_HAL=OFF \ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Currently tdelibs/CMakeLists.txt has: option( WITH_HAL "Enable HAL support" OFF ) Does that mean that HAL is OFF by default now? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Updated missing handbook list as I find quirks and mistakes within the help system. kdevdesigner (tdevelop) tderadio ksquirrel (only handbook is written in Russian --- need at least an English translation) ktorrent kbarcode kbarcode-single kbarcode-editor kbarcode-batch kpalmdoc (kpilot) kvaio (kcontrol module) thinkpad (kcontrol module) kcmview1394 (kcontrol module) display (kcontrol module) kmobile (tdepim) ksystemlog embedjs (tdebindings) A handbook exists for kstreamripper but is nothing but a template.
