This is my 3rd day using tilda and i thought i would customize it to how i like my linux. Please bare with me as im still quite newbie.

After installing some much needed tools for somiling "gcc, libc, siltaz-toolchain" and at the configurations request "flex and pkg-config" i have run into a wall.

The source code it looking for a variable in pkg-config to help locate GTK; This is the error:

>>> Checking for GTK... configure: error: Package requirements (gtk+-2.0 >= 2.0.0) where not met: No Package 'gtk+-2.0' found. Consider adjusting the PKG_COFIG_PATH enviroment variable if you installed software in a non-standard prefix. Alternitivley, you may set the enviroment variables GTK_CFLAGS and GTK_LIBS to aboid the need to call pkg-config. See the pkg-config man page for more details.

'pkg-config --listall' command has output this:

>>> shared-mime-info shared-mime-info - Freedesktop common MIME database

Can anyone help me compile this and possaily share the package with other users? :D

BTW: does anyone know howto copy and paste from xterm or know another term which can? (that was a long error message :P)

chompa

installing gtk+-dev solved the first issue. ill inform how it progresses

chompa

i am now experiencing the same error with package 'gobject-2.0' but the only gobject in the repository is pygobjet or gob2.

jozee

use sakura for copy n paste. You must read Slitaz cookbook documentation before attempting compiling a new pkg (even if you have compiled many source pkgs before) and you must practice compiling an existing pkg in repos (using tazwok) to understand what are the common BUILD problems. Compiling a pkg like tilda should be easy as all the dependencies are already in Slitaz repos.

chompa

Thanks ill get me some recipes ;)

jozee

Also, once you have read and tried compiling as per the cookbook and you understand the receipt format, then you may also like to try our new tool tazarch: http://labs.slitaz.org/wiki/tazarch
Download it and have fun :-).

chompa

EDIT: dw my mistake

chompa

More issues :( (well the same issue)

see below for copy of recipt file

is this possably because i installed pkg-config?

ERROR MESSAGE WHEN COMPILING:

checking for GTK... configure: error: Package requirements (gtk+-2.0 >= 2.0.0) were not met:

Package gobject-2.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `gobject-2.0.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
Package 'gobject-2.0', required by 'GdkPixbuf', not found

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables GTK_CFLAGS
and GTK_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

is there a method for pointing it to pygobject as there is no 'gobject' pkg in repository or am i on the wrong track?

chompa

unfortunately the error is still the same, any ideas? or is it possable to compile gobject?

chompa

gobject seems to be a part of glib but i have it installed do you know of a method to point pkg-config to it?

chompa

The directory /usr/lib/pkgconfig contains all the other .pc files exept gobject, i have installed pygobject wich is present but the package requires the gtk one.

I just found libgobject.so in /usr/lib but there is no .pc file for pkg-config.

im going to attempt to create the .pc file manually

ill let you know the results

chompa

OK. glib-dev solved the issue, pango-dev solved the next but not its asking for cario.so but there is no cario package available? any thoughts?

EDIT: typo i fount it :D

chompa

SUCSESS!!!! WOHO... that was not simple but i got there easy enough.

sorry still needs some work, the preferences configuration page is throwing an glade error.

chompa

OK error fixed, sorry about that one. The only error remaining is that the .desktop file points to /usr/applications but the icon image is placed in /usr/pixmap

jozee

improve genpkg_rules ; see my receipt above; no need to add "strip" : tazwok does it automatically.

chompa

Ah i see your changes there, i will give it a go when i get home from work, thanks.

chompa

ok, i can get the .glade and .png file in the right place but the "make DESTDIR=$PWD/_pkg install" from the recipt generates the .desktop file witl al imge location of "/usr/share/application/tilda.png" insted of "/usr/share/pixmaps/tilda.png" or "tilda (which the package manger and others have)"

chompa

the tilda.desktop.in file included in the source is below

[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=Tilda
Exec=@BINDIR@/tilda
Icon=@PIXMAPSDIR@/tilda.png
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Categories=GNOME;GTK;Application;Utility;TerminalEmulator;

The tilda.desktop generated in _pkg when compiling is below

[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=Tilda
Exec=/usr/bin/tilda
Icon=/usr/share/applications/tilda.png
Terminal=false
Type=Application

jozee

Right, make a folder name "stuff" (e.g., refer to mplayer/smplayer receipt). Correct icon location manually in.desktop file and then just copy the .desktop file to correct location.

chompa

It works :D, thank you for all your assitance jozee.

i really enjoyed making that work and would like to continue to create packages for SliTaz. if you could let me know how to have this included in the os? i would love to work at having it in there and creating more packages for users to enjoy.

Thanks chompa, I will push this to repos as I have already tested this receipt. If you would like to help in creating more pkgs and want to get access to push your pkgs to repos directly, send a private message to pankso. Also join the mailing list.

jozee

Pushed to repos: http://hg.slitaz.org/wok/rev/ab535bc253e3

chompa

Thanks again jozee for putting this up in the repos, i recently removed tilda and installed from the repo's and i had the tilda.glade file missing error again.

after pulling down the wok i saw thw recipt that was uploaded included this line

p -a $_pkg/usr/share/tilda.glade $fs/usr/share/$PACKAGE

i know you included it this way to keep the fs clean but tilda dosent look for it in the $PACKAGE subdir, it looks it share.

if there is a way to change this in the applications source code from the recipt i will bw happy to try it out otherwise it needs to be placed in '/usr/share'

jozee

fixed: http://hg.slitaz.org/wok/rev/c0f153842dee
