Hi Slávek, Thanks for the response. Quoth Slávek Banko..... As I said in my posting to the list, it's a modified copy of konsole renamed to klt. I tried your suggestions above but a) convert_existing_kde3_app_to_tde seems to be looking for specific applications and b) even after running this, configure fails with Qt headers not found. Previously I'd tried adding: CFLAGS=-I/usr/include/tqt CXXFLAGS=-I/usr/include/tqt to configure.in.in and copying the admin folder from tdebase-trinity-14.0.3/admin then: make -f Makefile.cvs (all as suggested here: http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.desktop.trinity.devel/1938) The configure says it's worked but the make fails with: I've taken the liberty of attaching a tgz of the application. Perhaps you can see what's going wrong? -- Regards, Russell -------------------------------------------------------------------- | Russell Brown | MAIL: russell(a)lls.com PHONE: 01780 471800 | | Lady Lodge Systems | WWW Work: http://www.lls.com | | Peterborough, England | WWW Play: http://www.ruffle.me.uk | --------------------------------------------------------------------

E.g. something like: cp -f "/usr/share/aclocal/libtool.m4" "admin/libtool.m4.in" cp -f "/usr/share/libtool/"*"/ltmain.sh" "admin/ltmain.sh" make -f "admin/Makefile.common" Then run "./configure" and "make" again ...

Today I found some time, so I looked more closely to the application: 1) Created GIT repository for this application, so I can save the individual steps as a separate commits. 2) Cleaned the files generated during build, including the original 'admin' folder and performed the initial commit. 2) Added common submodules 'admin' and 'cmake' from TDE. 3) Tested building in TDE 3.5.13.x and solved problems that occur. 4) Performed TQt conversion and TDE conversion. 6) Tested building in TDE R14.0.3 - successfully. In attached tarball you can find the resulting source code, including .git repository. Moreover, is also added 'debian' folder which can be useful for you to built 'deb' package. I hope that the result will be good for you. If you encounter any other problems, do not hesitate to let us know :) Cheers -- Slávek

Hi Russell, please try these other ways, using original code from Slavek. 1) go to klt folder. Type "debian/rules binary" and enter. If everything is ok it will compile and build a package at the end 2) or try "dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc", once again from the same folder This are more "stardard ways" to build a deb package locally, especially the second one. Of course if you want to build in a clean chroot environment (THE debian way) you should use pbuilder/debuilder. Cheers Michele

Quoth Michele Calgaro..... Ta for the debian build hints. This one "dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc" worked with the addition of a -b. AFAIR (it was some years back that I hacked it together) most of the changes were to take stuff out (shell access, multiple tabs etc) for a turnkey system. About the only addition was a writable status line on the bottom and 80/132 column flipping with some auto-resizing of the font if 132 columns at the current font won't fit on the current display. Our legacy stuff (some 3,000+ programs so a quick rewrite isn't going to happen quickly!) was written using ncurses for a VT100 style terminals (actually Wyse 120s if anyone remembers them). It doesn't play well with the screen being resized (difficult to do on a VT100!), is fussy about fonts etc etc; hence KLT. However, If someone wants a more kiosked konsole they're welcome to it. The only 'gotcha' that I know of is that it's hard wired to run "/usr/local/bin/menu" when it starts but you can call it with "-e /bin/sh" or hack the code :-) -- Regards, Russell -------------------------------------------------------------------- | Russell Brown | MAIL: russell(a)lls.com PHONE: 01780 471800 | | Lady Lodge Systems | WWW Work: http://www.lls.com | | Peterborough, England | WWW Play: http://www.ruffle.me.uk | --------------------------------------------------------------------

Argh! This was meant to be offlist; Sorry!
