building tqt
by Calvin Morrison 19 Feb '14

19 Feb '14

i got an error building tqt, turns out the freetype header wasn't where it was expected. as a workaround i just did this sudo ln -s /usr/include/freetype2/freetype/ /usr/include/freetype -v but is there a way to pass that library path into tqt's make?

C++ along with code resusability tends to distort perception of what is/was intended originally. Lack of documentation within the code seems to be one of those things that either gets ignored or overlooked by the programmer for what ever reason. Just my 2p's worth... -- Best Regards: Baron.

>I understand your frustration Darrell, and no you are not being >mean. You are >apparently taking the information I am posting in a way other than >it is intended to be received. Yesterday I spent a couple of hours trying to resolve bug report 1842. The Help button code is in place but the button does not appear. Not to mention that the default size of the list box window clips half the text to be unreadable. After several attempts to patch with my awful C++ skills, I walked away in frustration. Then I asked myself: Does anybody use this low quality garbage? Who actually writes such crappy software? Is there a reason why such apps never were pulled into the main KDE trunk? Why are we supporting junk? Why do people use such software and then pretend the app is not half broken? This is what I mean by "chicken shit" bugs. These kinds of bugs never should exist in the first place. Today I asked myself, Why am I spending time on junk? Stop building the crappy stuff and the problem goes away. Nobody else seems to care that this grabage is broken, why should I? The real problem is my standards are too high. I need to learn to accept that three round wheels and one wheel shaped like an octagon is "good enough." Darrell

Somebody with knowledge who can attest whether these additional build options hamper or cripple usage? Is a database backend critical for usage or does the app use an alternate method for storing data? I have no idea because I don't use the app. Is the emperor wearing clothes? Darrell

I am going to be frank here and will sound harsh and mean. We are eager to add older kde3 apps to the repo but part of me thinks we do this with a bean-counter mindset --- to impress people how many apps we have. From my own usage and observation I find many of those older apps useless fluff. We spend zero time on quality control and testing. Browse the bug tracker --- filled with paper cut issues. Or, to be blunt, what I call "chicken shit" issues. The bug reports all just sit there with no attention. David, file Yet Another Bug Report. I don't know what else to do. Darrell

Status of tde-construct? Anyone tried it?
by David C. Rankin 18 Feb '14

18 Feb '14

All, Picking through the remaining files to build, I ran across tde-construct that apparently is an autobuild meta-package for TDE that advertises the ability to automatically download the TDE sources and build TDE for you as easy as: "cd meta/kde;make install" By default "Konstruct" installs to ~/trinity.5.7/ which means you don't have to possess root privileges or risk to damage your system or affect another KDE. Man, if this thing works -- we've been doing it the hard-way all along ;-) But seriously, has anyone tested any of it? It seems to contain all of the base install and many of the applications. I suspect none of the links point to correct sources and it would take a bit of CPR to get something to actually build, but the idea is good. Anybody ever built/tested it? -- David C.

TDE kftpgrabber and kasablanca FTP clients - connect, but no file list ever retrieved
by David C. Rankin 18 Feb '14

18 Feb '14

All, I've testing both ftp clients in applications (kftpgrabber and kasablanca). Of the two, kasablanca will connect, but does not display any remote contents in the file areas. I can issue commands e.g. PASV, help, dir, and the log output shows the remote server sees the command and responds by changing directories remotely and issues the CWD response showing successful directory change, but no file listing is ever available. (tried both with/without [x] correct pasv) Here is the sample log window output: 220-Gesellschaft fuer wissenschaftliche Datenverarbeitung mbH Goettingen 220-==================================================================== 220-This is a Linux PC (Dell PE-2650, 2 CPUs P4/2800, 12 GB RAM) 220-running SuSE-Linux-8.2 with SuSE kernel 2.4.20-64GB-SMP. 220-/pub is ext3, a 2 TB Partition within a Transtec T6100F16R1 220-IDE/FC Raid array with 15+1 SATA disks Hitachi 240 GB Raid5 220- 220-For questions and other contacts to the ftp-admin, mailto:emoenke@gwdg.de 220-All transfers are logged.

PWD 250 CWD command successful. TYPE A 257 "/pub/opensuse" is current directory. PASV 200 Type set to A. list 227 Entering Passive Mode (134,76,12,3,232,67) I do not know where the list or transfer went, but it never made it into my window. I then tested with opensuse/kde3/kftpgrabber and I was able to connect and retrieve a directory listing and transfer files. The same with gftp, login to the same server and it works just fine. This looks like it may be a generic tde issue with ftp clients. This only effects applications/<ftp clients>. Konqueror ftp works fine in TDE. Type: ftp://david@server/home/david into the addressbar, the askpass dialog pops up and the connection and listing is perfect. So whatever kftpgrabber and kasablanca do differently is not working, but what konqueror does -- works! kftpgrabber likewise shows a connection with the remote server being made, but no file listing is ever displayed. The big issue with kftpgrabber is a race condition that occurs when the listing/handshake fails or when connection over ssh is attempted. It effectively locks the side of kftp the connection occurs on (left/right) and then pegs the CPU at 40-50%. Quitting kills the hung connection. A sample of the kftpgrabber connection log is: [01:53:37] KFTPGrabber logger initialized. [01:55:41] *** Connecting to nirvana:21... [01:55:41] *** Connected with server, waiting for welcome message... [01:55:41] 220 Welcome message [01:55:41] USER david [01:55:41] 331 Please specify the password.

Both clients show similar behavior - like some part of the ftp-ioslave isn't communicating correctly resulting in no listing. Can someone test and confirm this behavior. Thoughts? Suggestions? Small potatoes apps, but curious neither are not working. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

That explains what? > I'll see >if I can come up with some sort of patch, but the git tree >including an external >.tar.gz source of sqlite3 seems like a really bad idea :) Yet this is working for everybody else? If kmymoney does not include an intrnal sqlite engine, like amarok, then kmymoney should be built against the external installed version. There probably is a configuration option to build with the external version or an option to not build with the internal version, which then reverts to the external version. Probably should first test that before ripping sources. Darrell
