Building Trinity Desktop on Current ( 14.1+ )

All --

I saw the release announcement for Trinity Desktop 14.0 and I've spent a few hours trying to compile TDE 14.0 on a virgin Slackware Current Multilib System.

I've got a working basic Desktop but I hit the wall linking tdebindings due to missing symbols.

Specifically ( I folded the linker command, adding the '\' at EoL ):

Code:

/bin/sh ../../libtool  --tag=CXX   --mode=link g++  -Wno-long-long -Wundef -ansi \
-D_XOPEN_SOURCE=500 -D_BSD_SOURCE -Wcast-align -Wchar-subscripts -Wall \
-W -Wpointer-arith -fno-builtin -g -O2 -fno-schedule-insns -fno-inline -O2 \
-fPIC -Wformat-security -Wmissing-format-attribute -Wno-non-virtual-dtor \
-fno-reorder-blocks -fno-exceptions -fno-check-new -fno-common -I/usr/include/tqt  \
-L/opt/trinity/lib -L/opt/trinity/lib64 -L/usr/lib64    -L/usr/lib64 -ldl \
-o xp_notepad xp_notepad.o xpart_skel.o xparthost_stub.o ../src/tde/libtdexparts.la 

libtool: link: g++ -Wno-long-long -Wundef -ansi -D_XOPEN_SOURCE=500 -D_BSD_SOURCE \
-Wcast-align -Wchar-subscripts -Wall -W -Wpointer-arith -fno-builtin -g -O2 \
-fno-schedule-insns -fno-inline -O2 -fPIC -Wformat-security \
-Wmissing-format-attribute -Wno-non-virtual-dtor -fno-reorder-blocks \
-fno-exceptions -fno-check-new -fno-common -I/usr/include/tqt \
-o .libs/xp_notepad xp_notepad.o xpart_skel.o xparthost_stub.o  \
-L/opt/trinity/lib -L/opt/trinity/lib64 -L/usr/lib64 -ldl \
../src/tde/.libs/libtdexparts.so

/usr/lib64/gcc/x86_64-slackware-linux/4.8.3/../../../../x86_64-slackware-linux/bin/ld: xp_notepad.o: undefined reference to symbol '_ZN8TQStringD1Ev'

/opt/trinity/lib64/libtqt-mt.so.3: error adding symbols: DSO missing from command line

collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

I've referenced both the TDE HOME and Simone Giustetti's excellent Pages:

https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/Trin...op_Environment
and
http://www.giustetti.net/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page

Has anyone else had better luck ?

Thanks and Merry Christmas !

I've got a basic Trinity desktop on slackware64-current but I put everything in "/usr/bin" and /usr/lib64".
Since I don't have any KDE4 stuff or even Qt4 programs at all, I thought that was more easy to do It that way.

I compiled:
- tqt3
- qtinterface
- arts
- dbus-tqt
- dbus-1-tqt
- tdelibs
- tdebase

and I stopped there.

I wasn't able to compile tqca-tls for instance.
I compiled tdelibs with libart-lgpl provided by Slackware and It worked.

I tried with tqt3 in "/usr/lib64/tqt3", as a result I could compile tqca-tls but then tdelibs failed...

If you have a bunch of SlackBuilds somewhere, I'd be interrested in

I am tied up today with my 'real job'

I've not put together Slackbuilds yet but I do have a gaggle of build scripts I can share -- likely this weekend ...

I figured I would try to get compiled and running then make it fancy with a Slackbuild.

Simone has put together Slackbuilds for 3.5.10.x and the Slackbuilds can be found by clicking on each module-link on his page:

http://www.giustetti.net/wiki/index....l_Repositories

These are a good start for trinity 14.0.

I did find that to build 14.0 modules on slackware-current-64, I needed to do this:

Code:

mkdir -p /opt/trinity/lib64    # make a lib64 folder
cd /opt/trinity                # go to the 'trinity home'
ln -s lib64 lib                # make a fake lib folder

In addition, edit /etc/ld.so.conf and add these lines:

Code:

/etc/trinity/lib64
/etc/trinity/lib

Then run

Code:

ldconfig

after successfully building each module.

Some of the cmake and/or automake scripts apparently need a little 64-bit-vs-32-bit TLC.

Francois Andriot (the guy who built the packages for RPM distros) has put tqt3 in "/usr/bin" and "/usr/lib(64)".
Some packages are built in "/opt/trinity", here is a place where we can retrieve and have a look on his SPECS files.

Thanks __gin. That's Worth a Look !

I was thinking about trying to find the .deb sources for ubuntu and do the same.

I've not gotten any further along than I was last weekend.

I thought I would 'do a quick `git checkout` and see what the experts have that I don't after downloading the 14.0.0 Release Source.

I started it this morning at 10:00 GMT and it just now finished at 20:00 GMT !!!

Anyhow. I'll stay in touch.

p.s. I spent a little time yesterday trying to compile tde from the git tree.

Same issues.

I am going to mark this as 'too hard' for now, until I've got time to look at the build scripts.

I'll decide then what to do.
