"My Documents" Behavior
by Darrell Anderson 03 Oct '10

03 Oct '10

The "My Documents" device icon dialog box was broken but partially repaired in SVN 1176545. The dialog box no longer appears, but when the $HOME/Documents directory does not exist then Konqueror opens with an error message. The Konqueror error message indirectly reveals the solution to competant computer users, but might not be obvious to the less technically inclined. Similar behavior is found when selecting "Documents Folder" from the K-Menu, which results in an error message that the $HOME/Documents does not exist. A more elegant solution for both would be to provide a Yes/No/Cancel dialog box stating the directory does not exist and asking permission to create the directory. I think $HOME/Documents is specified somewhere as a default, but any associated dialog box should provide a text box allowing more technically inclined users to change the location of that path.

Configure Passings?
by Robert Xu 03 Oct '10

03 Oct '10

Hi, So, with Trinity 3.5.12 nearing, it's time for me to update the BLFS books with Trinity and create RPM spec files from them. So, what configure options did everyone use? I know I mentioned it before, but it's probably easier to have one central place so we can compare what options and why. (Here. :D ) -- later, Robert Xu

Why does the SVN revision number continually increase yet no files are updated or new files added? Darrell

kdebase-3.5.12 tarball FTBFS
by Darrell Anderson 01 Oct '10

01 Oct '10

After updating my build scripts to support the tarball naming and compression scheme, I started another build run. kdebase-3.5.12.tar.gz FTBFS. My apologies for incorrectly referencing kdelibs in a previous post. I can include a big log, but I think the error is clear: make[4]: Entering directory `/dev/shm/kdebase/kcontrol/energy/pics' make[4]: *** No rule to make target `energybig.png', needed by `all-am'. Stop. make[4]: Leaving directory `/dev/shm/kdebase/kcontrol/energy/pics' make[3]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory `/dev/shm/kdebase/kcontrol/energy' make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/dev/shm/kdebase/kcontrol' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/dev/shm/kdebase' make: *** [all] Error 2 The energybig.png pic is in SVN but not the 3.5.12 tarball. I downloaded that earlier file today. Just to be sure, I again downloaded the tarball a couple of minutes ago and there is no such png file. Darrell

Trinity 3.5.12 pre-release source tarballs
by Timothy Pearson 01 Oct '10

01 Oct '10

I have created a set of pre-release source tarballs for Trinity 3.5.12. They are currently publishing to the mirror, and should be available within 48 hours from this link: http://ppa2.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/redirect.php?file=releases/3.5.… If no issues are found in the next four days, there is a very good chance these files will become the final release. Please keep this information on this list for now; I am releasing the files early for testing purposes only, not for general consumption. Thanks! Tim

inclusion to LFS and packaging RPM
by Robert Xu 30 Sep '10

30 Sep '10

Hi, Being that 3.5.12 is on the verge of being released, I've decided to include this release in BLFS to replace the aging 3.5.10. Given that KDE 4 has rapidly changed quickly, we can't keep up with the pace, and that stupid cmake. I've also decided to build RPMs of the KDE 3.5.12 release. They'll be built for Mandriva, Fedora, and SuSE :) What configure options would you recommend for stuff like this? I saw a thread on trinity-devel, but given the fact that I just subscribed (when I should have done so earlier -.-"), I don't have the emails. -- later, Robert Xu

api documentation
by Serghei Amelian 29 Sep '10

29 Sep '10

Hello, As I see, in kde4 api-dox are not handled anymore by building system (actually apidox is not handled by autotools anyway in kde3, but by script named doxygen.sh). Is there any reason to include apidox support in cmake scripts? -- Serghei

ccache
by Darrell Anderson 28 Sep '10

28 Sep '10

I'm wrapping my head around something new. In the past I have been copying the svn package contents to tmpfs and working there with my compiles. That habit came from being accustomed to building packages from a source tarball. The source tarball is unpacked to a temporary working area and then compiled. With svn, something to which I am new, I maintained that habit by copying the package contents. Trinity is huge and compiling the entire core package suite requires 6 hours even on a dual core system. I could live with that if I knew the packages always compiled 100% of the time. That is a normal expectation with tarballs, but is not the case in a dynamic svn environment. There always is some degree of breakage. Hence a previous suggestion to use ccache. I have compiled kernels for many years. Being new to svn I did not understand that, much like the kernel, I don't have to image package sources from the svn tree but can work directly in that directory. Like the kernel I need only use 'make clean' to restore the svn tree. I then can use ccache to create compiling caches, which should dramatically reduce compile times. If I understand correctly, then in my build scripts I need to do the following: ================================ WAS: (snippet from arts package build script) echo "Copying $PRGNAM source files to $TMP..." cp -a $SVN_SOURCES/dependencies/$PRGNAM $TMP/ || exit 1 cd $PRGNAM || exit 1 echo echo "Building make and config files..." echo echo "Package will be stored at $OUTPUT." echo cp -p "$LIBTOOLM4" admin/libtool.m4.in cp -p "$LTMAINSH" admin/ltmain.sh make -f admin/Makefile.common echo echo "Finished building make and config files." echo chown -R root:root . CFLAGS=$CPUOPT \ CXXFLAGS=$CPUOPT \ ./configure \ --prefix=${PREFIX} \ --sysconfdir=${SYSCONFDIR} \ --libdir=${LIBDIR} \ --disable-debug \ --program-prefix="" \ --program-suffix="" \ --build=$ARCH-slackware-linux make $NUMJOBS || exit 1 make install DESTDIR=$PKG ================================ CHANGE TO: echo "Changing to $PRGNAM source files in SVN..." cd $SVN_SOURCES/dependencies/$PRGNAM || exit 1 echo echo "Building make and config files..." echo echo "Package will be stored at $OUTPUT." echo cp -p "$LIBTOOLM4" ./admin/libtool.m4.in cp -p "$LTMAINSH" ./admin/ltmain.sh make -f ./admin/Makefile.common echo echo "Finished building make and config files." echo chown -R root:root . make clean if [ -x /usr/bin/ccache ]; then CC="ccache gcc" echo "Using ccache. Unless configured otherwise, the cache is stored in $HOME/.ccache." echo else CC="gcc" fi CFLAGS=$CPUOPT \ CXXFLAGS=$CPUOPT \ $CC ./configure \ --prefix=${PREFIX} \ --sysconfdir=${SYSCONFDIR} \ --libdir=${LIBDIR} \ --disable-debug \ --program-prefix="" \ --program-suffix="" \ --build=$ARCH-slackware-linux make $NUMJOBS || exit 1 make install DESTDIR=$PKG ================================ Do I have the correct idea? Thanks much! Darrell
