Etherpad font sizes
by Darrell Anderson 22 Dec '13

22 Dec '13

All, Is there anything I or we can do to increase the font sizes in etherpad? I'm not talking about hitting the browser page size button a bazillion times to completely distort the whole page. The fonts sizes are just too damn small. Thanks. Darrell

How to insert a cmake variable into a *.desktop file
by Darrell Anderson 22 Dec '13

22 Dec '13

All, I want to create a patch that modifies two *.desktop files during compile time. What is the correct syntax to use for the cmake variable in the *.desktop files? For example: Exec=%CMAKE_VARIABLE% Thanks. :-) Darrell

You and Slavek seem to be on similar paths. He just attached a patch to bug report 1759. I'm in the middle of testing his patch now. I only just started but with Slavek's patch tdelibs finally finished the configuration without the infamous LINK_ONLY error and is compiling with 2.8.12. I still need to test with 2.8.12.1 and then backwards compatibility with 2.8.8. Darrell

>Try this patch... expected results are: ><cmake-2.8.12: works fine as always were >=cmake-2.8.12: no warnings; but the same LINK_ONLY-bla-bla error >/* I still >can't reproduce it, but I suspect it's because of some link flags >e.g. I >don't use hidden-visibility*/ >cmake-2.8.12.1: no warnings; clean build. Your patch works nicely with cmake <= 2.8.12.0 or 2.8.12.1. Builds are clean. As you noted, the patch does not help with 2.8.12.0. I receive the same exact LINK_ONLY failure. As noted, the problem is described in the gentoo bugzilla: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=490194 The bug report mentions a specific patch and the patch became part of cmake 2.8.12.1. To my understanding, there is no downstream fix for this breakage with 2.8.12.0. The best we will be able to do for Trinity packagers is to let them know that Trinity will not build with 2.8.12.0. I asked the Slackware maintainer to update Slackware 14.1 to cmake 2.8.12.1 and I referenced the gentoo bugzilla. All I can do now is wait and see. I believe the Slackware maintainer avoided problems with cmake 2.8.12.0 in that the 2.8.12.0 was not updated in the Slackware 14.1 release cycle until just before RC1, well after all of the KDE packages had been built. Very likely he never saw the same build failures because he used cmake 2.8.10.2 to build the KDE4 packages for Slackware 14.1. Darrell

Opinion of Trinity R14.0.0
by Darrell Anderson 22 Dec '13

22 Dec '13

All, In the upcoming R14.0.0 press release I would like to include one user and one developer opinion why they enjoy Trinity R14.0.0. These types of quotations are common in product related press releases. If you volunteer an opinion, please be aware that some kind of identity connection to you is necessary. That connection can be a well-known online alias, but birth names are preferred to enhance credibility. The reason is in case a reviewer or reporter decides to perform fact checking. The press release will not include email addresses or anything like that. Just a name that a reviewer or reporter can identify and through the contacts listed at the end of the press release, be able to contact you to validate or expand upon your opinion. Although many people prefer privacy, providing an opinion and a name in the press release could serve as a free publicity of your coding and project participation skills. Please limit opinions to a maximum of three sentences. If English is not your native language, please still feel welcome to offer an opinion. I'll help you massage the text. As primary developers, Tim and Slavek should be the main press release contact points, but that is a decision for both of you to make. A draft of the press release is available in the etherpads: http://trinity.etherpad.trinitydesktop.org/37 Please feel welcome to improve the draft. Please post any such opinions here to the dev mail list. I'll select two, although I might roll dice to perform the selection. :-) Thank you! Darrell

tdebase FTBFS with clang
by Fat-Zer 21 Dec '13

21 Dec '13

tdebase FTBFS on kdesktop than it is built with clang. It's because clang can't handle "-z now" correctly. Build log: http://bpaste.net/show/160888/ Here is a patch. I'm going to provide yet another patch for LINKER_IMMEDIATE_BINDING_FLAGS wondering

Re: [trinity-devel] tdelibs FTBFS: cmake 2.8.12: INTERFACE_LINK_LIBRARIES vs. LINK_INTERFACE_LIBRARIES
by Darrell Anderson 21 Dec '13

21 Dec '13

All, I ran some more testing against the cmake 2.8.12 CMP-0022 problem. The TL;DR version: The proposed patch partially works but needs attention. If we refine the patch to eliminate certain errors we probably will be able to place this entire cmake episode behind us. :-) The longer story: On Slackware 14.0 I have no problems compiling Trinity packages. The stock Slackware 14.0 came with cmake 2.8.8, but a while ago I updated my 14.0 build environment to cmake 2.8.10.2. I updated cmake because I was trying to anticipate what eventually would become Slackware 14.1. Along the way of developing the 14.1 branch after Slackware 14.0, cmake was updated to 2.8.10.2. Regardless, I have had no problems with 2.8.8 or 2.8.10.2. Slackware 14.0 comes with gcc 4.7.1 and glibc 2.15. In all of the following tests I attempted to build only the dependencies and core packages through tdebase. In each test I rebuilt all packages except TQt3 because that package has no cmake requirements. On Slackware 14.0, I built and installed cmake 2.8.12.0. I did not apply the proposed patch. I saw a slew of CMP0022 warnings for arts and tdelibs. While arts did compile, I was unable to build tdelibs. Next on Slackware 14.0, I built and installed cmake 2.8.12.1. I did not apply the proposed patch. I again saw a slew of CMP0022 warnings for arts, tdelibs, and tdebase. This time I was able to build tdelibs and tdebase. Thus 2.8.12.1 does provide a work-around to 2.8.12.0. Next on Slackware 14.0, I returned to cmake 2.8.8 (the version provided in the original 14.0). I applied the proposed patch. This was to test backwards compatibility of the patch in distros using cmake < 2.8.12. I got as far as tdelibs with no errors or warnings. tdebase failed to build, with a slew of errors such as the following: /dev/shm/tdebase/tdmlib/kgreet_classic.cpp:494: undefined reference to `TQString::TQString(char const*)' /dev/shm/tdebase/tdmlib/kgreet_classic.cpp:494: undefined reference to `TDEGlobal::locale()' /dev/shm/tdebase/tdmlib/kgreet_classic.cpp:494: undefined reference to `TDELocale::removeCatalogue(TQString const&)' CMakeFiles/kgreet_winbind- module.dir/kgreet_winbind.cpp.o:(.data.rel.ro._ZTI7TQGList[_ZTI7TQGL ist]+0x8): undefined reference to `typeinfo for TQPtrCollection' CMakeFiles/kgreet_winbind- module.dir/kgreet_winbind.cpp.o:(.data.rel.ro._ZTI15KWinbindGreeter[ _ZTI15KWinbindGreeter]+0x10): undefined reference to `typeinfo for TQObject' CMakeFiles/kgreet_winbind- module.dir/kgreet_winbind.cpp.o:(.data.rel.ro._ZTV7TQGList[_ZTV7TQGL ist]+0xc): undefined reference to `TQGList::clear()' Next on Slackware 14.0, I returned to cmake 2.8.10.2. I applied the proposed patch. Again no build failures through tdelibs while tdebase failed to build with the same errors. Next on Slackware 14.0, I returned to cmake 2.8.12.0. I applied the proposed patch. tdelibs failed to build, but I saw the same failures in Slackware 14.1. Apparently at least part of the patch is required to build tdelibs with cmake 2.8.12.0. Next on Slackware 14.0, I returned to cmake 2.8.12.1. I applied the proposed patch. Again no build failures through tdelibs while tdebase failed to build with the same errors. The original cmake 2.8.12 problems I reported occurred with Slackware 14.1 and not 14.0. I used 14.0 as a test environment to establish some kind of baseline. The primary differences between Slackware 14.1 and 14.0: cmake 2.8.12.0 vs. 2.8.8, gcc 4.8.2 vs. 4.7.1, and glibc 2.17 vs. 2.15. Yet by using Slackware 14.0 I believe I affirmed the failures I am experiencing are not related to gcc, glibc, etc. Some Trinity members report they can build Trinity with cmake 2.8.12.0 although they witness the slew of CMP0022 warnings. With 2.8.12.X I always have been able to build arts but always either fail to build tdelibs or tdebase. The proposed patch allows me to build tdelibs but not tdebase. I don't believe the problem is Slackware 14.1. Just cmake 2.8.12.X. Darrell

The oldest release of Slackware that I can build Trinity is 13.1. In bug report 1741 I shared my attempts at building Trinity in Slackware 12.2 and 13.0. Ignoring cmake, newer versions of several upstream packages need to be backported to build Trinity in Slackware 12.2 or 13.0. Trinity builds in Slackware 13.1 just fine. Slackware 13.1 was released with cmake 2.8.1. If we establish cmake 2.8 as a minimum requirement, we then --- indirectly --- include other problematic upstream packages against which Trinity would not build. That is, any distro that came with cmake 2.8 likely did not include the older upstream packages that would be problematic for building Trinity. Darrell
