Re: [trinity-devel] How do I build debian package out of git for tdevelop

Hi and thanks to both of you! My problem is that I am not that good with git and I did only one course with cmake time ago.I prefix my comments with E: inline, because I am not quite sure how nice yahoo formats the mail. I am considering using another e-mail address for the communication with the list.Are you available on gmane? I could not find you there.

E: This is also bouncing my mails from the yahoo account I use In addition to Slavek's reply, here is a simple way to try: 1) download the package code that you want to build from the GIT main repo and copy it somewhere (for example /home/<user>/tde_src/tdevelop) E: This I did with   GIT_ASKPASS=echo git clone --recursive https://anonymous@scm.trinitydesktop.org/scm/git/tdevelop After this used cmake to build and it looks it is working fine, so I wanted to have deb packages in order to relpace the R14 jessie ones 2) download the package "packaging" code from the GIT packaging repo and copy the "debian"folder for the correct distro into the forder you used in point 1 (for example /home/<user>/tde_src/tdevelop/debian) E: this is I did with git submodule add http://system@scm.trinitydesktop.org/scm/git/tde-packaging 3) update change log 4) cd to the folder (cd /home/<user>/tde_src/tdevelop) 5) "debian/rules binary" should work out of the box and build all the required .deb in the parent folder (for example /home/<user>/tde_src), provided you have all required dependency packages installed. E: At the moment I wait for downloading the tde-packaging part. I'll take my chance on it next This is just for a temporary local build. If you want a clean build in a separate chroot environment you should use pbuilder or debuild. E: For now chroot is not in my scope. This is a long outstanding point, we promised several times that we would publish the scripts after R14.0.0 was out but we haven't done it yet.... I will sit down and address this point once I am done with bug 420 (hopefully :-) ) E: I might have raised a bug against tdevelop as recently it started crashing more often with assert on part && parent in fileview. I was able to recover by reimporting the project, but slowly my patience gets at the end.E: I was thinking to build the package and test it as one mentioned going back for the kdevelop etc etc, instead of trying to debug that part of the code. But this is subject of another thread. Please create a new bug and attach both the original code you started from and the final version, so we can also see the changes that were required.E:This is much better than originally suggested to use git. I appreciate this as I was not able to follow up the instruction.In fact the porting of the application was not that hard as to understand how to contribute it. I'll try to follow up on that. PS: you are more than welcome to contribute to TDE development. Any improvement we can make will benefit the whole community ;-) E: I would love to, but time is very limited at the moment, so doing my best. I think it would be of advantage to get a brief process description of and experience with common tasks, like the ones discussed above. I have a lot of experience with debian and very good one with OOP in some languages, but I have just few hours a week left. I hope this will change sooner or later though.
