Arch Linux - dev tip -> kate syntax highlighting for PKGBUILD scripts

by David C. Rankin

All Arch-Trinity devs (and everyone else): Most probably know this, but there is a great little trick to use in kate to automatically apply bash syntax highlighting to PKGBUILD scripts when you open them in kate/kwrite. The only requirement is that you give the PKGBUILD scripts a common extension. (I haven't been able to find a way to do this without using an extension). The extension can be anything - so long as it isn't already used by something else. (.pb or .pkgb will work). I ended up with '.svn' extensions by accident when I changed from building in tree to the traditional PKGBUILD format to distinguish the new PKGBUILDs. eg.: 19:02 alchemy:~> ls -1 tde/tnotes/pkgbuild/svn PKGBUILD-app-amarok.svn PKGBUILD-app-gtk-qt-engine.svn PKGBUILD-app-kgtk-qt3.svn <snip> If you are working on any other distro that has a known highlighting syntax file in kate/kwrite -- this will also work for you. To set this up, in kate: (1) Settings -> Configure Kate -> Highlighting (2) select the mime-type for your file from the "Highlight:" list-box (3) then add your script extension to the "File extensions:" field For my Arch setup where the PKGBUILD scripts have bash syntax, the setup looks like: Highlight: Scripts/Bash File extensions: *.sh;*.bash;*.ebuild;*.eclass;*.svn;<snip> Works like a champ... and beats the heck out of doing 'Tools->Highlighting->Scripts->Bash' over and over again :) -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

kdelibs FTBFS

by Timothy Pearson

Serghei, Could you offer any suggestions as to why arts cannot be found during the kdelibs build process? http://quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net:58080/2051543/buildlog_ubuntu-maveri… I wonder if it may have anything to do with moving the two main arts header files from include/arts/arts*.h to include/artsc/arts*.h Thanks!

Sources&info, also reflects for qt3 3.3.8c sources required

by PICCORO McKAY Lenz

For many users recently incoming, the sources of qt3 3.3.8c now requires a this pachet version of qt3 for trinity building. This patched version is fully source and binary compatible with 3.3.8b, but provides additional methods that are required to complete the TQt interface. The following patch, when applied to 3.3.8b, will increase the version number to 3.3.8c: - qt3_3.3.8c.diff<http://trinity.pearsoncomputing.net/wiki/pub/Developers/Qt3/qt3_3.3.8c.diff> But this kind of info are not property reflected on wiki (old or new) and in README from sources (at least on kde 3.5.12), please help (or tell me how i could do that by my seltf) to update wiki and readme files property reflected this, and also upload to sources download the patch and/or qt3 complete/parcial sources for download. I know that documentation are also a recuested help on trinity proyect.. event i try to port bluez api, (but i colund yet), generates docu files and contents are easyl for me! ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Darrell Anderson <humanreadable(a)yahoo.com> Date: Thu, Mar 10, 2011 at 10:13 PM Subject: Re: qt3 3.8.8c To: PICCORO McKAY Lenz <mckaygerhard(a)gmail.com> That's a good question.

Numerous FTBFS Problems

by Darrell Anderson

Now that the ui-tqt problem is fixed, I tried again building the core packages. tqtinterface, arts, kdelibs, and kdebase build without errors. From there seems everything is broken. :( All of the following packages are still built with automake. I want to get the core packages built so I can help with test bug fixes next weekend. =========================================== PyKDE3 I previously posted a message that I can't build PyKDE3. Link to build log: http://humanreadable.nfshost.com/files/pykde3-3.16.7-i486-1-build.log.gz =========================================== kdebindings. Link to build log: http://humanreadable.nfshost.com/files/kdebindings-3.5.13-i486-svn_1224257-… I tried building without sip or pyqt3 installed to ensure there was no presumed python support. kdebindings still failed to build. =========================================== kdeaccessibility Link to build log: http://humanreadable.nfshost.com/files/kdeaccessibility-3.5.13-i486-svn_122… =========================================== kdeutils Link to build log: http://humanreadable.nfshost.com/files/kdeutils-3.5.13-i486-svn_1224257-bui… =========================================== kdemultimedia Link to build log: http://humanreadable.nfshost.com/files/kdemultimedia-3.5.13-i486-svn_122425… =========================================== At this point I stopped. Perhaps the failures are all related. Darrell

Trinity End-User Documentation

by Darrell Anderson

I have close to 3 decades technical writing experience. Naturally, I have an interest in any documentation packaged with Trinity. :) The Help files need serious attention. In KDE 3.5.10 many Help files are out-of-date. Eventually we have to update those Help files. I don't know how the original Help files were maintained or created. I need help and direction with that. I want to see an overall user guide to Trinity. The guide would be available in two forms: HTML and PDF. The HTML version would be a desktop shortcut available to all users who first install Trinity and should be a menu option for those who delete the shortcut. I am willing to lead this part of the project. I face an immediate challenge: my background is overwhelmingly with paper products and not electronic. I need help and advice with the tools I need to learn to produce two different outputs (HTML and PDF). OpenOffice Writer (now LibreOffice) might be a choice, but I suspect the HTML output will leave much to be desired. Some sort of structured authoring front-end would makes sense (DocBook?), but that means a lot of sweat equity to massage the back end formatting. The system used to produce the original Help files might be a solution. I am open to ideas and discussion. Darrell

kde-config -v reports incorrect qt version

by Darrell Anderson

Running "kde-config -v" reports I have qt-3.3.8b installed rather than 3.3.8c. Seems we should fix that for those who have run the 3.3.8c patch. :) Here is my attempt at patching the version. I recompiled qt and this patch worked for me. kde-config now reports 3.3.8c. Perhaps this patch should be merged with the existing 3.3.8c patch? Or just added to the wiki as a second patch? ===================================== diff -urN qt-x11-free-3.3.8b/changes-3.3.8c qt-x11-free-3.3.8b.new/changes-3.3.8c --- qt-x11-free-3.3.8b/changes-3.3.8c 1969-12-31 19:00:00.000000000 -0500 +++ qt-x11-free-3.3.8b.new/changes-3.3.8c 2011-03-09 11:51:42.720405330 -0600 @@ -0,0 +1 @@ +Qt 3.3.8c is a bug-fix release to support tqtinterface and cmake. diff -urN qt-x11-free-3.3.8b/src/tools/qglobal.h qt-x11-free-3.3.8b.new/src/tools/qglobal.h --- qt-x11-free-3.3.8b/src/tools/qglobal.h 2008-01-15 13:09:13.000000000 -0600 +++ qt-x11-free-3.3.8b.new/src/tools/qglobal.h 2011-03-09 11:52:07.822403718 -0600 @@ -41,7 +41,7 @@ #ifndef QGLOBAL_H #define QGLOBAL_H -#define QT_VERSION_STR "3.3.8b" +#define QT_VERSION_STR "3.3.8c" /* QT_VERSION is (major << 16) + (minor << 8) + patch. */ ===================================== Darrell

PyKDE3 FTBFS

by Darrell Anderson

I built and installed sip 4.12.1 and pyqt3 x11_gpl_3.18.1. Building pykde3 3.16.7 fails. I built these packages last autumn with no issues. I'm using upstream sources, same as last year. Here is a link to the build log: http://humanreadable.nfshost.com/files/pykde3-3.16.7-i486-1-build.log.gz I realize kdebindings is not essential to running Trinity. :) Darrell

(4) basic kmenu fixes - (getting rid of 'More Applications')

by David C. Rankin

Guys, The following applications need to find homes in the menu. I have give proposed "move to" locations below. This shouldn't be confused with Kate's effort to revise the default entries. This is just to put the existing apps with no default kmenu location -- somewhere: Graphics \ More Applications \ kruler (move to Graphics) System \ More Applications \ File Manager - Super User Mode (move to System or System/Super-User) Terminal Program - Super User Mode (move to the same place) Utilities \ More Applications \ KFontView - Font Viewer (move to Graphics) Just fixing these 4 default entries will get rid of the 'More Applications' menu entries for these apps and give them a proper home in the menu. If somebody will point me to the right file where this takes place, I'll work on a patch. I suspect that the entry is specified somewhere in the individual app build directory. I'll look at kruler and see if I can find it. If you already know where the menu entries are set by default, please let me know. Thanks. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
