I've finally managed to produce some working Trinity Mandriva packages
(available from http://www.autotrain.org/mdv-kde/mdv2010.2.html). However,
i've got a problem with kcontrol, it starts up fine, but it doesn't load
any configuration options, so the main config panels are blank.
This could be being caused by one of the mandriva patches, rather than
being a bug in the Trinity core, but i'd appreciate some suggestions as to
what I should be looking for.
Other 'lesser' configuation screens, eg "Configure Desktop" and
"Configure
Panel" seem to work fine.
Thanks, Tim W

There's a patch that fixes this, although I also think this may have
something to do with one of mdv's packages.

This is with autoconf, right? How did you get it to build with a newer version?
I've had to stop building RPMs for the time being because cmake
porting isn't finished.
PS feel free to join us on trinity-devel

Is anybody able to point me at the relevant patch? Otherwise i'll have a
dig on my own.

Yes, this is autoconf with Trinity 3.5.12. The autoconf patches from my
3.5.10 rpm's mostly seem to fix the build issues. There is still some
fiddling about to get the core packages to build, if you look at my post

i've described the procedure. It's not exactly ideal, but it seems to
work...

openSUSE's kde3 had the same problem - I suggest asking on
opensuse-kde3 what the fix was.

I just found the problem, Mandriva moved the xdg install dir from
/etc/xdg/menu to /etc/xdg/kde/menu. My packages are inconsistent,
i'm installing the config files to /etc/xdg/menu, but trying to read
them from /etc/xdg/kde/menu. Manually moving the relevant files to
/etc/xdg/kde/menu has fixed the problem. I'll update my packages shortly
to fix this for a normal install.
