Adding Trinity to Linux From Scratch
by Bruce Dubbs 18 Dec '11

18 Dec '11

I am starting to do the development/testing needed to add Trinity to Linux From Scratch, replacing KDE3. Right now I have a couple of issues I'd like to get clarified. First, I notice in the dependencies directory, there are several packages: dependencies/arts dependencies/avahi-tqt dependencies/dbus-1-tqt dependencies/dbus-tqt dependencies/tqtinterface I have no problems with arts or tqtinterface but I don't see the other three mentioned anywhere. Are these packages required for Trinity? If so, at what point are they required? We do have instructions already in LFS for D-Bus and avahi libraries. Second, I have had some problems building kdelibs. There were no problems following the instructions for qt3, tqtinterface, or arts, but there were many places in building kdelibs where I had to edit a link.txt file and add -lX11. I am fairly new at using cmake so I'd like to know if there is a way to add this automatically. My installation of xorg is a little non-standard because the files are in /opt/xorg, but there are appropriate symlinks at /usr/X11R6 and /usr/include/X11. I didn't seem to have a problem with include files. It would also be useful to know how to set -L/opt/xorg/lib, but that is not critical because I can do essentially the same thing by export(ing) LIBRARY_PATH. I'll note that LFS has a policy of not using development versions of packages, so for now we need to be able to work with trinity-3.5.13. Thanks for your help. -- Bruce Dubbs

Embedded viewing
by Darrell Anderson 17 Dec '11

17 Dec '11

One thing I have noticed about Konqueror 3.5.13 is embedded viewing is the default for just about everything. I prefer to use the external app rather than the KPart embedded viewers. When I migrate a KDE 3.5.10 profile to TDE none of those settings remain. I'm thrown back to the embedded viewers. Is there an easy or quick way to reverse this default without having to manually reset them with each mimetype of app that is opened? Darrell

How to tell automake where to find TQt/Qt3
by L0ner sh4dou 16 Dec '11

16 Dec '11

I already asked but no-one replied to me. Is there any way in which I could tell automake (./configure) for which version of TQt or Qt should it look, or where to find them? In my system it keeps detecting TQt4 and thus is searching for Qt4. Both of them aren't present on my system, since I have clean install, only with Qt3 and other trinity deps. It is crucial to me, since without solving this problem I cannot continue on building trinity components, nor I can continue on creating PKGBUILDs for Arch. My distro is Archlinux and I'm building from 3.5.13 tarballs.

Autotools package builds
by Baho Utot 16 Dec '11

16 Dec '11

I need some help with the autoconf packages. When building it finds qt3 and tqtinterface but it keeps failing on linking QString and QWidget. So I think it is missing some library. What is weird is that all the libraries are in /opt/trinity/lib and /usr/lib. ldconfig.so.conf has those paths. What library are these in. Thanks

"Keywords" field in .desktop files
by Florian Müllner 16 Dec '11

16 Dec '11

Hi everyone, we are currently in the process of standardizing a new "Keywords" key in the freedesktop.org desktop entry spec[0]. Apparently KDE used to use a slightly different variant (using commas instead of semi-colons as separators) before it was prefixed with X-KDE. It was agreed that the differences are too minor to matter in practice, but as the Trinity desktop still uses the non-prefixed variant, it seemed like a good idea to make you aware of the spec change anyway :) Regards, Florian [0] http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xdg/2011-December/012173.html

Canonical location for sources packages
by Laurent Dard 16 Dec '11

16 Dec '11

I'm talking about trinity in blfs-dev list. Maybe Trinity will be included in BLFS book. (http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/) Problem is it needs a stable long-term official reference to sources. (http and/or ftp) What are the good ones? For example, I found these are valid links for Qt but will they work for some years? http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/trinity/releases/3.5.13/dependen… http://mirror.its.uidaho.edu/pub/trinity/releases/3.5.13/dependencies/qt3-3… ftp://mirror.its.uidaho.edu/trinity/releases/3.5.13/dependencies/qt3-3.3.8.… Is there a "canonical" ftp site? -- Laurent Dard

Konqueror Extensions
by Darrell Anderson 15 Dec '11

15 Dec '11

I'm hoping this is not a bug but a case of my poor memory. In Konqueror, one of my user accounts shows a search bar to the right of the location bar.: http://humanreadable.nfshost.com/trinity/konq-user1.png Another user does not show the search bar: http://humanreadable.nfshost.com/trinity/konq-user2.png Both users show an rsync plugin button from the kdeaddons package. I have no idea how to enable or disable either the search bar or the rsync button. I'm not commenting on the merits of the tools, just the inability to enable (show) or disable (not show). I thought perhaps the solution was in the Configure Extensions menu option, but nothing happens when I change the check boxes. Neither option appears in the Configure Toolbars menu option. I hope I'm missing something obvious! Darrell

bug - kdenetwork missing kopeteemoticon.h in msnswitchboardsocket.cpp
by L0ner sh4dou 15 Dec '11

15 Dec '11

a little bug that is present in the tarballs (and what I've seen in the git too). During compilation of kopete/protocols/msn/CMakeFiles/kopete_msn_shared-shared.dir/msnswitchboardsocket.cpp, the kopeteemoticon.h is not found. I checked and kopeteemoticon.{h,cpp} are present in the kopetelib subdirectoory "private" not in main dir. In attachement patch that fixes incluson of that file in msnswitchboardsocket.cpp
