Hi List, Michele,

I found on a google search a question asked by Michele about building from source using tde_packaging where libr-dev & gettext-kde wee unmet dependencies (http://trinity-devel.pearsoncomputing.net/?0::10775:get:1). I did not find an answer to the quetion though.

As I'm currently facing the same problem, does anybody know the answer?

Michele, did you get an answer?

The simplest option is to add the apt source with build dependencies. You have three options for this:

1. nightly-build-deps - but contain multiple packages that are not needed:

deb http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/trinity/trinity-nightly-builds/de... _distribution_ main

2. deps-r14 (on build-farm) - contain only the necessary packages:

deb http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/slavek-banko/deps-r14/ubuntu _distribution_ main

3. deps-r14 (alternative) - same as 2), wider bandwidth, contain packages also for mips

deb http://mirror.xcer.cz/trinity-sb _distribution_ deps-r14

Many thanks.

Hi Michael, Slavek already gave you good advice. Another way is to build libr and gettext-kde from sources, as I do. You can use this sources, from the same Slavek's repo. deb-src http://mirror.xcer.cz/trinity-sb jessie deps-r14 main-r14 Just replace jessie with the distro you are using. If you want, you can first browse it at http://mirror.xcer.cz/trinity-sb/dists/

Just for your understanding, to build TDE in Debian and Ubuntu you need some extra packages which are not part of the main TDE repo. libr and gettext-kde are two of them. You can find the others at the address indicated. Also when building, remember to bump up the version number of all packages (**EXCEPT** the deps-r14 ones) to 4:14.0.0 to avoid broken dependecies).

Finally, the question you found is part of the TDE developer mailing list. You can find it here (just scroll until you find the correct one) and also see the following discussion. http://trinity-devel.pearsoncomputing.net/?0:201212

Cheers Michele

Hi Michele,

Thank you for the info and advice, much appreciated.

Whilst I'm here (should start a new thread I guess but ...) and on a different note, I have installed from the nightly builds on an ARM device and the Amarok collection builder does not work at all.

I will get round to rebuilding for armv7hf myself but in the mean time, where do you think is the best place to report this?

Cheers, Mike.

Sorry, forgot to clarify. Do you mean that _all_ packages, e.g. Amarok, should be versioned at 4:14.0.0 ?

Cheers, Mike.

If I understand correctly, you want to build amarok package only, not the complete set of TDE packages. In this case, you just deal with a version of the amarok package.

Actually, I'm building the complete set. For both amd64 and arm*.

I have built, and use R14 from source from a year or more ago, using source from GIT but not paying any attention to packaging. Both for amd64 & armel.

I am currently going through the process of building from GIT source again, this time packaging. Firstly for amd64 and once complete, for armv7hf (I have anumber of ARM devices/requirements).

I use Amarok as an example as that is my media player of choice, and I use it to play audio, from ARM devices, over the network.

Amarok armv7hf from nightly builds does not work and I've noticed that from building (amd64) using tde_packaging (from git) that the debian build does not appear to use cmake but instead uses autotools?. Very odd. Is that correct?

Any info appreciated.

Cheers, Mike.

Yes, that's exactly right, because cmake port of Amarok is incomplete.

Ok, thanks for the info.

As I said, I'm intending to do a complete run/packaging for armv* (as well as amd64) so if I can convert anything to cmake along the way I wiil.

First I gotta get past tdebase failing with;

make[2]: *** No rule to make target `kcminit/libtdeinit_kcminit.so', needed by `kcminit/kcminit'. Stop.

All good fun :)

Hi Michael, again, just to help your understanding, TDE has been partially migrated to cmake, but the migration is not completed yet and it's proceeding very slowly, due to the small size of the development team. So some of the modules are using cmake and some are still using autotools. If you are willing to contribute to the cmake migration, you are welcome :D

Cheers Michele

Sure, if I can help I will. I've been building, for example amarok, with cmake for the last year or so.

Good, thanks. The TDE development team is very small, so every help is more than welcomed. For Amarok specifically, you can refer to this bug http://bugs.pearsoncomputing.net/show_bug.cgi?id=818 for more information on what has been done and what not.

If later on you want to contribute to other modules as well, here http://trinity.etherpad.trinitydesktop.org/11 you can find an approximate updated status of what has been done and what not yet.

Also notice that in the TDE repo, in common/cmake there are a set of files that are used when building TDE modules with cmake

Cheers Michele
