Hi there,
this is my first post, so let me introduce myself. My name is Michele Calgaro (Michael if
it easier for you) and I discovered TDE only very recently.
I have set myself the task to contribute to TDE's development in my spare time (among
one thousand other things to do :-) ), at least a little.
I am trying to compile everything on my laptop (running Debian testing) using the scripts
in the tde-packaging repository.
Everything is ok until I get to tdelibs. When I try to compile tdelibs, I get 2 unmet
dependencies I can not solve. They are:
- libr-dev
- gettext-kde
dpkg-checkbuilddeps: Unmet build dependencies: gettext-kde libr-dev
I have checked the Debian package archives and there are no such packages in any
distribution (stable, testing, sid, experimental, not even lenny).
I have managed to track down a possible gettext-kde package for ubuntu at
"https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gettext-kde/0.10.35-0ubuntu2" but
obviously wonder if the version is applicable or not.
But no luck at all for libr-dev. No matter how much I searched the internet, I
couldn't find anything about it except for some links to TDE debian/control files
commits.
I also tried to remove such dependencies from the debian/control file and compile
nevertheless, but as I expected the build fails since it can't find libr
- checking for one of the modules 'libr'
CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:751 (message):
elficon support was requested, but libr was not found on your system
-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!
You are obviously compiling tdelibs without problems, so what am I doing wrong? Or better,
where can I find those missing packages?
Also, since those packages are not part of debian and apparently ubuntu, IMO it would be
worth considering importing such packages in the TDE git repository if possible (and if I
am not missing something else here)
Thanks and looking forward to help the TDE team if I can.
Bet regards
Michele

Hi there,

Welcome! We are always glad to have a new contributor to the project. :-)
<snip>
libr is a proposed metadata embedding library originally written for
Gnome. I liked the idea so much that I went ahead and used it in TDE; it
allows each executable to contain metadata such as the application's name,
description, preferred system icon, icon data, etc. To see this in
action, simply browse to the /opt/trinity/bin directory on an TDE >=R14
system; rather than a bunch of featureless "gear" icons you will see each
executable file is now displayed with the appropriate application icon.
More metadata information is available in the Properties dialog for each
file as well.
You can get libr (and any other missing dependencies) from the TDE nightly
build dependencies repository here:
https://quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/~trinity/+archive/trinity-nightly-b…
Hope this helps!

Thanks for the prompt reply Tim,
tdelibs compiling right now :-)
Anyhow I find misleading that those packages are available in the nightly build
dependencies and not in the GIT repository. I would have thought that the GIT repository
contains everything that is needed for compiling TDE. I guess others may also think the
same way if they are not aware of that.
Perhaps you could consider importing them, unless there is any specific reason for not
doing it.
Thanks again
Michele

Welcome Michele!
What parts of trinity are you interested in working on? We have a bug
tracker which can provide a useful starting point for new developers.
We also have many resources for our developers to stay in touch. Our
team are also usually available on our IRC channel if you want to
chat, we have the dev mailing list for our developers, but we also
have a trinity-users list. We have an etherpad (collaborative editing)
for working on plans and documents and a wiki for documenting things.
all that can be found here: http://trinitydesktop.org/development.php
If you need accounts for certain things you should privately email Tim
(kb9vqf(a)pearsoncomputing.net)
P.S.
In the future please avoid html based emails :-)

Welcome Michele!

Thanks for welcoming me.
First of all I am looking at getting everything to compile on my laptop (seems to have
some problems right now, but I am working on that).
After I reach that point (and after my coming Xmas holiday break :) ) I am planning to
try to add a couple of features to Konqueror (small things but I find them quite useful on
another shell). After that I will take on some bugs from the bug tracker.
My main expertise is C/C++ programming, even though in a completely different environment
and platform. But I am confident I can work my way through with TDE.
The only limit is the time I can dedicate to it, but I'll try my best.
Hope to be helpful soon.
Cheers
Michele
