kmplayer patch

by Darrell Anderson

A while ago David posted a build failure with kmplayer: gstplayer.cpp:1009:5: error: C99 designator 'b' outside aggregate initializer I don't know what the error means. David proposed a patch but nobody responded as to whether his patch was legitimate. Yesterday I tried to build kmplayer with gcc 4.7. I saw the same failure. I forgot about David's query. I looked around the web for clues to resolve the problem. I ran into this: http://websvn.kde.org/?view=revision&revision=686006 The patch description is exactly what David and I saw with the build failure. The patch was to the xineplayer.cpp module. Other than the difference between "XINE" and "XVIDEO" I figured the patch is just what the doctor ordered. I massaged the patch for the gstplayer.cpp module and compiled. No failures and the package size is the same as non gcc 4.7 builds. I tested the patch with a non gcc 4.7 build too. I pushed the patch in GIT hash 5106117b. Odd that the "C99 designator" problem was addressed in the xineplayer.cpp module yet the same exact code in gstplayer.cpp was not. The patch does not include fixes for xine-libs. Because there remains a wide mix of xine-libs versions being used, at least for now, the original patch David proposed should have some preprocessor tests like we did with several other patches. That way the patch can be pushed to GIT and work for all versions of xine-libs. I will try to do that. I searched the list archives but could not determine the exact version when the problems start. Which version of xine-libs causes the problems? Darrell

tdegraphics FTBFS

by Darrell Anderson

What is the status of the patch in bug report 902? I tried the patch with the latest GIT and gcc 4.7. The build still fails with the same error: collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status /usr/lib/gcc/i486-slackware-linux/4.7.0/../../../../i486-slackware-linux/bin/ld: CMakeFiles/ksnapshot.dir/windowgrabber.cpp.o: undefined reference to symbol 'XShapeQueryExtension' Darrell

gcc 4.7 support

by Darrell Anderson

I am now (finally) building Trinity in a gcc 4.7 environment. So far pretty good news. I can't build tdebindings with xparts and tdegraphics. Otherwise I seem to be moving forward. As I build each package I notice what fails and then head to the bug tracker looking for patches. Bug report 958 is a first start but there are a few other bug reports too. If you have not submitted any related gcc 4.7 patches, please do so. As an attachment here in the list is fine or a bug report. I have tested some of the patches and they work for me as well. Therefore I am going to start pushing those that I test successfully. (Working for two or more people using different distros is a reasonable litmus test.) I mention this here as a friendly warning. :-) That is, if you are building from GIT, please check all resources before posting to the list. That includes doing a git pull to discover whether I pushed a patch. I'm even learning. :-) I just created a tdepim patch that needed a this-> pointer. Thanks to all of you who have created similar patches, from which I learned what to do. I don't grasp the whole "this" pointer concept, but I can patch. :-) Darrell

kaffeine-mozilla

by Darrell Anderson

Anybody able to build this plugin? Seems some files are missing, notably the configure script. I can build the package after copying a couple of files from the original sources, but the package does not build correctly: usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/kaffeineplugin.so gets built as usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/kaffeineplugin Darrell

Slackware Trinity build status

by Darrell Anderson

Good news overall. I can build Trinity on Slackware 13.1 (gcc 4.4.4) and 13.37 (gcc 4.5.2), both 32-bit and 64-bit. I build everything but a few packages. There are nominal build issues I work around, but I can build full packages for most modules. Exceptions: * tqca, tqca-tls won't build with 64-bit (can't find $PREFIX/lib64) * python-tqt, python-trinity won't build with 64-bit (can't find $PREFIX/lib64) * tdeadmin (won't build knetworkconf) * kstreamripper FTBFS With that foundation I now can start testing against Slackware Current, which is the testing branch for the next official Slackware release. Slackware Current contains gcc 4.7. Darrell

kate - misc Naming and File Selector issues needing fixes

by David C. Rankin

All, While waiting on the rebuild of tdelibs and tdebase with full symbols, I was poking around in kate and came up with another couple of fixes that are needed. The first is a simple khelpcenter name change for Settings > Application > File Selector. The khelpcenter name for this section is 'The Filesystem Browser Page' instead of being the 'The File Selector Page'. It looks like there was a name change somewhere along the way that was never implemented in the help files. Looking at the other entries in the help file, they correspond fairly closely to the settings dialog. Here are some other changes for the help file needed just to dot [i]s and cross [t]s: General - Meta-Data -> Meta-Information (who knew..) crap - that's as far as I got - first time that happened - the whole desktop locked. It had been running in virtualbox since April 17 without any issue: 18:03 alchemy:~/tde/tmp/tdebasep/patches> ps aux | grep -i virtual david 14521 0.0 0.0 7788 828 pts/1 S+ 18:04 0:00 grep -i virtual david 31843 0.0 0.5 458276 20300 ?

killer taskbar background image (complements default theme)

by David C. Rankin

Guys, I wanted to make a taskbar background that really complemented the default isadora background, so I gimped one: http://nirvana.3111skyline.com/dl/dt/trinity/ss/taskbar-bkg-screenshot.jpg The image for the taskbar is: http://www.3111skyline.com/dl/dt/tde/img/tde-blue-glass-kicker.png If it is liked, we can add it to the images as an alternate to those shipped by default. Let me know. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
