I see that the critical(ly dumb) thing I was missing was -DGTKHTML=ON, as indicated by both you and Caleb. Thanx, don't know why I didn't realize what that was about, it gets the gtkhtml editor. Fine so far. Duh, and all that. But yours includes a ":BOOL" component. Is that a necessary or especially advisable cmake-ism? ___ xiphos-devel mailing list xiphos-devel@crosswire.org http://www.crosswire.org/mailman/listinfo/xiphos-devel
Re: [xiphos-devel] back from the dead
Greg, On Arch Linux we are still building 4.1.0 using the waf build system, but on our VCS package that builds from git head the cmake build system is working perfectly as is. From the git clone directory, our cmake incantation looks like this: cmake -S . -B build \ -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \ -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr \ -DGTKHTML=ON make -C build make -C build DESTDIR="$pkgdir" install Given the right system deps, this works great and is pretty generic cmake usage. Note the package build environment already hase CFlags/CXXFlags/etc. set properly so they are not part of the build recipie. The full package script is here if you are interested in the dependencies: https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/PKGBUILD?h=xiphos-git Caleb On Thu, Apr 16, 2020 at 6:42 AM Greg Hellings wrote: > Here's the magic source of Fedora building: > https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/xiphos/tree/master > > Specifically we have 4.1.0 tarball > Plus the cmake.patch which is a massive commit corresponding to "git diff > 4.1.0..fccfbdc" and pulls in the CMake build and gets rid of the waf > Plus my NASB patch > > CMake incantation is: > mkdir build && cd build > export CFLAGS=-fPIC > export CXXFLAGS=-fPIC > cmake -DGTKHTML:BOOL=ON -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo .. > make && sudo make install > > --Greg > > On Wed, Apr 15, 2020 at 10:35 PM Karl Kleinpaste > wrote: > >> On 4/15/20 11:18 PM, Greg Hellings wrote: >> >> it's gonna require some amount of ugly hackery to get that editor >> working, now. >> >> So my first attempts at cmake-driven build have failed because the attempt >> to build the editor chokes. >> What's the magic you're using for Fedora et al builds, to avoid including >> the editor at all for the time being? >> ___ >> xiphos-devel mailing list >> xiphos-devel@crosswire.org >> http://www.crosswire.org/mailman/listinfo/xiphos-devel >> > ___ > xiphos-devel mailing list > xiphos-devel@crosswire.org > http://www.crosswire.org/mailman/listinfo/xiphos-devel > ___ xiphos-devel mailing list xiphos-devel@crosswire.org http://www.crosswire.org/mailman/listinfo/xiphos-devel

Here's the magic source of Fedora building: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/xiphos/tree/master Specifically we have 4.1.0 tarball Plus the cmake.patch which is a massive commit corresponding to "git diff 4.1.0..fccfbdc" and pulls in the CMake build and gets rid of the waf Plus my NASB patch CMake incantation is: mkdir build && cd build export CFLAGS=-fPIC export CXXFLAGS=-fPIC cmake -DGTKHTML:BOOL=ON -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo .. make && sudo make install --Greg On Wed, Apr 15, 2020 at 10:35 PM Karl Kleinpaste wrote: > On 4/15/20 11:18 PM, Greg Hellings wrote: > > it's gonna require some amount of ugly hackery to get that editor working, > now. > > So my first attempts at cmake-driven build have failed because the attempt > to build the editor chokes. > What's the magic you're using for Fedora et al builds, to avoid including > the editor at all for the time being? > ___ > xiphos-devel mailing list > xiphos-devel@crosswire.org > http://www.crosswire.org/mailman/listinfo/xiphos-devel > ___ xiphos-devel mailing list xiphos-devel@crosswire.org http://www.crosswire.org/mailman/listinfo/xiphos-devel

So my first attempts at cmake-driven build have failed because the attempt to build the editor chokes.

Re: [xiphos-devel] back from the dead
If you'd like to cry into your soup at some point, I can tell you about what I've discovered about the state of our WebKit2 editor. Which becomes increasingly important as more distros drop GtkHTML altogether. In the past 3-4 releases of webkit2gtk they've moved all DOM access code out of the main thread, so you can't even do what we do anymore. The methods are still there, but only for the headers to a separate plugin library to the webkit engine which you must preload before you initialize any webkit components. What remains nebulous according to all the docs is how to get information back and forth between the main application and the plugin (seems you have to communicate over DBus or a similar mechanism for systems that don't support DBus). This is drive by them moving webkit out of the application's thread and into a subprocess of its own that communicates back and forth with the application's GUI thread. This is similar to how Chrome/Chromium/Blink operate and it's one way to prevent bad things happening in the web component from happening in the main application. But it's gonna require some amount of ugly hackery to get that editor working, now. --Greg On Wed, Apr 15, 2020 at 10:12 PM Greg Hellings wrote: > Welcome back, Mr Kleinpaste. > > We missed you. > > On Wed, Apr 15, 2020 at 9:01 PM Karl Kleinpaste > wrote: > >> At least, I think I'm back. >> >> I've been out of commission for doing Xiphos things for way too long.
