Rebuilding qt3, dbus-qt3, etc.
by Darrell Anderson 31 Oct '10

31 Oct '10

Trinity svn has no source files for building qt3, dbus-qt3, etc. Why is building those files unnecessary in Debian/Kubuntu but necessary in Slackware? Or is rebuilding necessary in those systems too but the source files simply are not included in trinity? Thanks. Darrell

aLinux
by Ilya Chernykh 27 Oct '10

27 Oct '10

aLinux http://alinux.tv/ , a KDE3-centric distro indicates that they use KDE 3.5.12 as the main desktop. This unambiguously hints that they use Trnity. Since aLinux is an RPM-based distro, this fact may make porting to other RPM-based distributions easier as they provide SRPMs for each package.

tqtinterface - configure fails
by John 26 Oct '10

26 Oct '10

Hi all, I'm very new here and to Trinity so please be gentle, this is my first attempt :-) I'm attempting a build for Mandriva 2010.1 and by a long winded-process of 'hit and miss' I've managed to get .configure to run to completion except for the following warning message regarding 'libtqtinterface-dev' needing to be installed: ==== Caution wrapped ==== checking if TQt is available... no configure: WARNING: You are attempting to compile Trinity without the Trinity Qt Interface installed. Please install libtqtinterface-dev and try again! ==== Ignoring this message and calling 'make' appears to complete correctly, however 'make install' returns the following: failure as follows: =====Caution may wrap ==== [root@john tqtinterface]# make install Making install in libltdl make[1]: Entering directory `/spare/kde-3.5.12/dependencies/tqtinterface/libltdl' make[2]: Entering directory `/spare/kde-3.5.12/dependencies/tqtinterface/libltdl' make[2]: Nothing to be done for `install-exec-am'. make[2]: Nothing to be done for `install-data-am'. make[2]: Leaving directory `/spare/kde-3.5.12/dependencies/tqtinterface/libltdl' make[1]: Leaving directory `/spare/kde-3.5.12/dependencies/tqtinterface/libltdl' Making install in qtinterface make[1]: Entering directory `/spare/kde-3.5.12/dependencies/tqtinterface/qtinterface' Making install in . make[2]: Entering directory `/spare/kde-3.5.12/dependencies/tqtinterface/qtinterface' make[3]: Entering directory `/spare/kde-3.5.12/dependencies/tqtinterface/qtinterface' test -z "/usr/local/kde/lib" || /bin/mkdir -p "/usr/local/kde/lib" /bin/sh ../libtool --mode=install /usr/bin/install -c -p libtqt.la '/usr/local/kde/lib' libtool: install: /usr/bin/install -c -p .libs/libtqt.so.4.2.0 /usr/local/kde/lib/libtqt.so.4.2.0 /usr/bin/install: cannot stat `.libs/libtqt.so.4.2.0': No such file or directory make[3]: *** [install-libLTLIBRARIES] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory `/spare/kde-3.5.12/dependencies/tqtinterface/qtinterface' make[2]: *** [install-am] Error 2 make[2]: Leaving directory `/spare/kde-3.5.12/dependencies/tqtinterface/qtinterface' make[1]: *** [install-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/spare/kde-3.5.12/dependencies/tqtinterface/qtinterface' make: *** [install-recursive] Error 1 [root@john tqtinterface]# I'm somewhat confused by the missing(?) `.libs/libtqt.so.4.2.0' message which is correct when one looks in the referenced directory.

KDE3 support for IPv6
by Ilya Chernykh 22 Oct '10

22 Oct '10

Hi! I just found that KDE3 does not support IPv6. knemo shows an interface as not connected if it has only IPv6 protocol. Kconnections shows only IPv4 connections.

Trinity 3.5.13
by Darrell Anderson 16 Oct '10

16 Oct '10

Although SVN provides a direct route to testing patches for the next 3.5.13 release, I want to propose making tarballs available too. Many people are motivated to test newer versions but do not have the bandwidth, computer horsepower, or inclination to support SVN. I propose providing directories just like those for downloading the 3.5.12 tarballs. The directories would be explicitly named 3.5.13-testing or something similar. When 3.5.13 goes live and official, all we should need do is just change the name of the directory. Darrell

tqtinterface, arts and kdelibs - compilable with cmake
by Serghei Amelian 13 Oct '10

13 Oct '10

Hello, In this moment, cmake support for tqtinterface, arts and kdelibs are ready for building tests. Some info about cmake build system: 1) preffered mode for building are "out-of-source", which prevent sources to be "polluted" with generated files and compiled objects (in kde4 out-of-source mode are mandatory). For example, tqtinterfaces will be configured in this way: mkdir /tmp/tqtinterface cd /tmp/tqtinterface svn co svn://anonsvn.kde.org/home/kde/branches/trinity/dependencies/tqtinterface mkdir build cd build cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr ../tqtinterface make -j 3 make install DESTDIR=/tmp/tqtinterface/install 2) There are some standard rules to activate/deactivate features: For example, kdelibs have: WITH_LIBART, WITH_ARTS, WITH_TIFF, etc (for rest of options check kdelibs/CMakeLists.txt) For compile kdelibs with arts and tiff and without aspell, we will run: cmake -DWITH_ARTS=ON -DWITH_TIFF=ON -DWITH_ASPELL=OFF <path_to_sources> 3) If we need to alter standard install directories we have variables like BIN_INSTALL_DIR, SYSCONFDIR, XDG_MENUDIR. Example: cmake cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/opt/kde3 -DSYSCONFDIR=/etc <sources> 4) Enabling RPATH: cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_RPATH=/usr/kde/3.5/lib ################################### (almost) complete example, kdelibs for ubuntu: cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/opt/kde3 \ -DINCLUDE_INSTALL_DIR=/opt/kde3/include/kde \ -DSYSCONFDIR=/etc \ -DWITH_LIBIDN=ON -DWITH_SSL=ON -DWITH_LIBART=ON \ -DWITH_ALSA=ON -DWITH_ARTS=ON -DWITH_CUPS=ON \ -DWITH_JASPER=ON -DWITH_OPENEXR=ON -DWITH_ASPELL=ON \ -DWITH_TIFF=ON -DWITH_LUA=OFF \ <path to kdelibs sources> LUA support are disabled because is not done yet. If you won't using RPATH, ensure that LD_LIBRARY_PATH is correcty set, otherwise kdelibs will fail when will try to use mcopidl. For testing, are preferable to use big number of concurrent compile processes (-j 10, for example), to check if all dependencies are compiled in proper order. -- Serghei

progress update
by Robert Xu 09 Oct '10

09 Oct '10

Hi, I've started to create/update spec files for Trinity KDE. You'll see some stuff appearing in home:bravoall1552:trinity on build.o.o by the weekend. I'll start out with SuSE and Fedora. I've got someone from the Unity Linux project that can help Mandrivanize these :) -- later, Robert Xu

RPATH vs LD_LIBRARY_PATH
by Serghei Amelian 07 Oct '10

07 Oct '10

Hello, I wonder if is not good ideea to set RPATH into Trinity binaries, to ${prefix}/lib. In this case Trinity will still working even LD_LIBRARY_PATH is not set at all. Pros? Cons? -- Serghei

Building koffice
by Darrell Anderson 06 Oct '10

06 Oct '10

I won't pretend to understand the challenges involved, but is there any chance Koffice can be split into component apps? I think many end-users would appreciate that but so would anybody who builds the packages. Koffice is huge. A single failure in one component kills the entire build. Building Koffice on my dual core requires almost two hours. I can only imagine people trying to build on older hardware. If the idea is doable I'll submit an enhancement request. Darrell
