I have tried my patch on mandriva one 2008.0 livecd, it works as advertised on that system as well.
Systems on which my supplied patch is known to work for svn 3861 are: 1. Debian stable/nelly 2. PCLinuxOS 2007 3. Mandriva One 2008.0 I shall describe the steps I've taken to produce the working dia executable/plugin: Step 1. Basic OS -------------------------- I have downloaded and installed the following livecd on a virtual machine: http://ftp.nluug.nl/ftp/pub/os/Linux/distr/Mandrakelinux/official/iso/2008.0/mandriva-linux-2008-one-KDE-cdrom-i586.iso MD5: 871020f9d7d9f3f5b94d9c3c3127f492 Step 2. Package Repository Configuration ----------------------------------------------------------- Then I added the following media to mandriva (using easyurpmi.zarb.org): urpmi.addmedia --update plf-free http://ftp.cica.es/mirrors/Linux/plf/mandriva/2008.0/free/release/binary/i586/with media_info/hdlist.cz urpmi.addmedia plf-free_backports http://ftp.cica.es/mirrors/Linux/plf/mandriva/2008.0/free/backports/binary/i586/with media_info/hdlist.cz urpmi.addmedia --update plf-nonfree http://ftp.cica.es/mirrors/Linux/plf/mandriva/2008.0/non-free/release/binary/i586/with media_info/hdlist.cz urpmi.addmedia plf-nonfree_backports http://ftp.cica.es/mirrors/Linux/plf/mandriva/2008.0/non-free/backports/binary/i586/with media_info/hdlist.cz urpmi.addmedia main ftp://ftp.surfnet.nl/pub/os/Linux/distr/Mandriva/official/2008.0/i586/media/main/releasewith media_info/hdlist.cz urpmi.addmedia --update main_updates ftp://ftp.surfnet.nl/pub/os/Linux/distr/Mandriva/official/2008.0/i586/media/main/updateswith media_info/hdlist.cz urpmi.addmedia main_backports ftp://ftp.surfnet.nl/pub/os/Linux/distr/Mandriva/official/2008.0/i586/media/main/backportswith media_info/hdlist.cz urpmi.addmedia contrib ftp://ftp.surfnet.nl/pub/os/Linux/distr/Mandriva/official/2008.0/i586/media/contrib/releasewith media_info/hdlist.cz urpmi.addmedia --update contrib_updates ftp://ftp.surfnet.nl/pub/os/Linux/distr/Mandriva/official/2008.0/i586/media/contrib/updateswith media_info/hdlist.cz urpmi.addmedia contrib_backports ftp://ftp.surfnet.nl/pub/os/Linux/distr/Mandriva/official/2008.0/i586/media/contrib/backportswith media_info/hdlist.cz urpmi.addmedia non-free ftp://ftp.surfnet.nl/pub/os/Linux/distr/Mandriva/official/2008.0/i586/media/non-free/releasewith media_info/hdlist.cz urpmi.addmedia --update non-free_updates ftp://ftp.surfnet.nl/pub/os/Linux/distr/Mandriva/official/2008.0/i586/media/non-free/updateswith media_info/hdlist.cz urpmi.addmedia non-free_backports ftp://ftp.surfnet.nl/pub/os/Linux/distr/Mandriva/official/2008.0/i586/media/non-free/backportswith media_info/hdlist.cz Step 3. Installing Build Dependencies ------------------------------------------------------- Then I added the following packages to the installation: urpmi libglib2.0_0-devel libgtk+2.0_0-devel libgdk_pixbuf2.0_0-devel libcairo2-devel-1.4.10-1mdv2008.0 patch intltool autogen automake libtool make gcc gcc-c++ rarian (when prompted with multiple options, default option) Step 4. Checkout/Patching/Building ------------------------------------------------------ wget -O *subshape_for_dia_svn_rev3861.patch.gz<http://mail.gnome.org/archives/dia-list/2007-November/gzQLYesgHxpO.gz> * http://mail.gnome.org/archives/dia-list/2007-November/gzQLYesgHxpO.gz wget -O *subshape_for_dia_demo_shapes_and_sheets.tgz<http://mail.gnome.org/archives/dia-list/2007-November/gz4XdQ4DaPBD.gz> http://mail.gnome.org/archives/dia-list/2007-November/gz4XdQ4DaPBD.gz* tar xvfz subshape_for_dia_demo_shapes_and_sheets.tgz** svn co http://svn.gnome.org/svn/dia/[EMAIL PROTECTED] dia cd dia zcat ../subshape_for_dia_svn_rev3861.patch.gz | patch -p0 ./autogen.sh make Step 5. Running -------------------------- app/run_dia.sh "select sheets Test, Subshape" "draw the subshape" "double click it" "set draw background=yes" This gives me exactly the output from this demo movie: http://krnl.nl/dia_custom_shapes_with_non_uniform_scaling.html --------------------------------------------- I'm afraid I am unable to find out why it doesn't work for you, Lars. Can you please describe your build setup, or perhaps you can try my build setup, to assure that it works? cheers, Marcel Kern Automatiseringsdiensten BV PS, As I pointed out earlier, it seems that the default for drawing backgrounds on shapes seems to have switched from true to false. Please beware of doing that, as it seems to incur a huge functional regression for the custom_objects plugin/shapes: These shapes usually depend on having their backgrounds drawn to reflect their icons. 2007/11/30, Marcel Toele <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > Okay, the source of my differing results has been located: > > Somewhere dia went from a situation where "draw background" value > defaulted to true, to a situation where it defaults to false. > Since my bottom-left subshape has no outline, and only a fill, it > disappears.
