Building KDE-4.4.1
Hi all, I know a couple of folks here have built KDE recently. I think I already know the answer to this, but I think I have to grab kdesupport out of SVN in order to build KDELibs, right? My conclusion was arrived at because kdelibs wants 'automoc4' from kdesupport but there is no kdesupport tarball available from KDE's download site. If that's the case, how do I stop things like oxygen-icons being built that already have their own tarballs available? Preferably I don't even want to check out the oxygen-icons area of svn but I'm not sure that's possible...an 'svn update' on such a checkout would pull oxygen-icons next time around anyway, I would have thought. rantWhy can't developers release a bloody tarball of their stuff?/rant Thanks, Matt. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
Trouble building gir-repository
Hi, I've got some trouble compiling gir-repository as per current SVN and was wondering if anybody else encountered the same problem. If this is helpful, feel free to add it to the wiki. Description of the problem == During 'make' in git-repository-0.6.5 and having GNOME_PREFIX=/opt/gnome, in the directory gir-repository-0.6.5/gir the command /usr/bin/g-ir-scanner -v --namespace GConf --nsversion=2.0 --add-include-path=. --add-include-path=. \ --include=GObject-2.0 \ --library=gconf-2 \ --libtool=/bin/sh ../libtool \ --output GConf-2.0.gir \ --pkg gconf-2.0 \ `pkg-config --variable=includedir gconf-2.0`/gconf/2/gconf/*.h returns (amongst other stuff): /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lgconf-2 and subprocess.CalledProcessError: Command '['/bin/sh', '../libtool', '--mode=link', '--tag=CC', '--silent', 'gcc', '-o', '/home/bambi/build/blfs/gir-repository-0.6.5/gir/tmp-introspect6Bxd_B/GConf-2.0', '-L.', '-lgconf-2', '-pthread', '-Wl,--export-dynamic', '-lgio-2.0', '-lgirepository-1.0', '-lgobject-2.0', '-lgmodule-2.0', '-lgthread-2.0', '-lrt', '-lglib-2.0', '/home/bambi/build/blfs/gir-repository-0.6.5/gir/tmp-introspect6Bxd_B/GConf-2.0.o']' returned non-zero exit status 1 Apparently, ld can't find libgconf-2.so, which lives in /opt/gnome/lib. What I checked and tried gconf-2.0.pc has the correct prefix set and can be found with PKG_CONFIG_PATH. Explicitly setting setting LDFLAGS to -L/opt/gnome/lib didn't remedy the problem. I've modified the 'g-ir-scanner' invocation to include '--library-path=/opt/gnome/lib', no effect. Manually running the libtool command fails. It will however complete without error if '-L.' is substituted with '-L/opt/gnome/lib'. After that, a make will still fail in the same spot. Workaround == I made a softlink from libgconf-2.0.so to the current directory. Turns out, this process has to be repeated several times for various libs in /opt/gnome/lib. What I think is the problem === If GNOME_PREFIX is anything other than the usual system-paths, the build mechanism passes incorrect arguments to libtool which can't find the libs. Runing the whole autoconf stack (aclocal, autoheader, automake, autoconf, configure, make) didn't help.

I use svn and grab the tagged packages. You can grab phonon from gitorious now: http://gitorious.org/phonon/phonon/commits/4.4 KDE hosts it, too, but I remember there being a lot of trouble with it recently. Some notes: It's no longer possible to build against qt's phonon. It was never really supported, but you used to be able to force it by creating a link. When I build qt and kde's phonon I notice that the some of the qt demos crash: /opt/qt-4.6- d1f77a5e47d79b9fb688046a7357bc0c8b21c875/demos/qmediaplayer/qmediaplayer: symbol lookup error: /opt/kde-4.4-1078786/lib/kde4/plugins/phonon_backend/phonon_xine.so: undefined symbol: _ZN6Phonon12PulseSupport11getInstanceEv /opt/qt-4.6.2/demos/qmediaplayer/qmediaplayer: symbol lookup error: /opt/kde-1092481/lib/kde4/plugins/phonon_backend/phonon_gstreamer.so: undefined symbol: _ZN6Phonon12PulseSupport11getInstanceEv I still build the qt phonon, though, because I'm pretty sure that qtscriptgenerator, a dependency for amarok, requires it (I can't remember the details, and I just haven't had the time to experiment (qt is just too big to keep rebuilding.) That said, you'll want to add these variables to your kdelibs build if you have qt phonon (all the other kde packages locate the kde phonon after.): -DPHONON_INCLUDE_DIR=/opt/kde-1092481/include - DPHONON_LIBRARY=/opt/kde-1092481/lib/libphonon.so I've also held back to redland-1.0.8. I remember quite the frustration with trying to upgrade it awhile back, later versions don't include rasqal and raptor in the tarball, which is good, but I couldn't get the 'real' packaged versions to work together, maybe things are different today it was few months ago I was fighting with it. -- Regards, Trent. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page

Hey Lars, thanks for the quick reply, unfortunately I did already this, actually to guarantee I just did it again, compiled gvfs-1.4.3 and nautilus-2.28.1, nothing seens to change. When you had this issue, did you just recompiled gvfs and nautilus or any other package too ? Do you think gnome-vfs can be a problem to gvfs ? I hope not to have to compiled and install all gnome stuff again, I took a little while to notice this issue, and I have a almost full distro build, hehe hey, thanks again its good to see that I'm not the only one who had this issue.

One of the nice things about LFS is that you don't need to always upgrade. I still use KDE3 as my main system. I don't need a lot of extra stuff. The main things I use are kicker and konsole. I never use konquoror unless I'm using it to check out a web page against my usual browser. I do really like konsole because if the look and feel of the tabbed consoles (Gnome's version seems klunky). I also like ksnapshot and occasionally use kruler. I never use the kde editors, koffice, kmail, etc. It's a shame that they didn't just do a straight port of kde3 to qt4. On my LFS build/test system, I use fluxbox when I need a window manager, but mostly I cna jsut run X apps there via ssh. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page

I haven't bothered to read the rational behind why kde is still maintaining/developing a branch, but it feels like there should be an effort to merge, and just maintain additional backends. (just to emphasize, this is my opinion based on what sounds/seems like common sense;) Following on from the earlier thread discussing lightweight window managers/desktop environments, I'm currently trying to get lxde put together. lxdm requires consolekit which requires polkit which requires PAM. Despite polkit accepting '--with-authfw=shadow' it bails as there are assumptions all over the code on PAM being present. What was it I said above about developers accurately detailing their dependencies :-). Aside from that though, I think lxde might be just what I'm after! I've been tempted to drop KDE a number of times; the kitchen sink approach is a bit overwhelming and it's getting tiring, but the mail client keeps dragging me back. And really, things have been getting better ( I keep telling myself that.) Matt. Just as an aside: There's been a lot of work from James Tyrer: http://techbase.kde.org/Getting_Started/Build/KDE4/LFS I can also provide my build notes, they're pretty specific to my hacked dpkg system, but may be a good reference. -- Regards, Trent. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page

Really sorry, I get confused, I think I'm to anxious to fix this =) back to the problem, I have both, system.conf and system-local.conf, system-local.conf have the follow: # cat /etc/dbus-1/system-local.conf !DOCTYPE busconfig PUBLIC -//freedesktop//DTD D-BUS Bus Configuration 1.0//EN http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/dbus/1.0/busconfig.dtd; busconfig !-- Search for .conf files in /etc/gnome/2.28.1/dbus-1/system.d -- includedir/etc/gnome/2.28.1/dbus-1/system.d/includedir /busconfig # ls -l /etc/gnome/2.28.1/dbus-1/system.d/ total 12 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 591 Jan 25 01:30 org.gnome.ClockApplet.Mechanism.conf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 497 Jan 25 04:23 org.gnome.CPUFreqSelector.conf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 570 Jan 24 21:58 org.gnome.GConf.Defaults.conf [ ]'s -- Maginot Júnior LPIC 1 - LPIC 2 - LPIC 3 - CCNA - CLA - Analista Forense On Mon, Mar 8, 2010 at 12:23 AM, Wayne Blaszczyk wblas...@bigpond.net.au wrote: On 08/03/10 13:52, Maginot Junior wrote: My session-local.conf has the follow information: I've also seen this before but cannot remember the cause.
