firefox flash player and kdevelop

hua · 08-28-2009, 07:51 PM

Now I have installed a fresh slackware64 13. There are only two things I want to make work now.

1. I experienced that some sites (youtube.com for example) get troubles with flash player. Do I need to add some flash player extensions to play everything with my browser? (firefox)
I did try the slackbuild.org repository: http://slackbuilds.org/repository/13...player-plugin/ but I must do something wrong because it does not work. (I mean I cannot play video at youtube.com after install)

2. I was using kdevelop for C programming. But the new one do not allow me to create simple c++ applications (projects) like the old. Do anybody know about changes in the kdevelop?
I was always starting my projects with creating a simple c++ helo world project. After this I run compile what makes all the needed steps for me.

Thanks. The flashplayer works now very well. I did not complete the last step - copy the libflashplayer.so to /usr/lib64/firefox-3.5.2/plugins. So the flasplayer is ok now.

The second thing with kdevelop looks like worse. It seems that in slackware 13 was included an absolutely new kdevelop package. I checked the package version for kdevelop and it is 3.9.91 what seems to be a beta version (sorry for this if I am wrong). I was searching on the kdevelop site http://www.kdevelop.org/index.html?f...=versions.html and I find that the latest version is 3.5.5. I think the 3.9.91 package is the beta1 release of the kdevelop4.

2009-August-22 - KDevelop 4.0 beta5 released
KDevelop 4.0 beta5 (3.9.95) and KDevPlatform 0.9.95 were released today and can be downloaded via public ftp. They fix more than 160 bugs, that is around 48% of all reported bugs! Before updating make sure to see the feature comparison with KDevelop3 and install the required software dependencies. This is the last beta that works with KDE 4.2.x, future versions will require at least KDE 4.3.0. You can read more about this release on Apaku's blog.

2009-August-11 - KDevelop 3.5.5 released
For users that for some reason can not update to KDevelop4, we released a bugfix version of the KDevelop3 series. KDevelop3 development was stopped around October 2008, but users have occasionally sent us patches that we incorporated in this release. Please download it from our download page because the binaries provided by some linux distros are crippled.

2009-June-28 - KDevelop 4.0 beta4 released
KDevelop 4.0 beta4 (3.9.94) and KDevPlatform 0.9.94 were released today and can be downloaded via public ftp. They fix more than 30 KDevelop bugs and 15 KDevPlatform bugs from the previous beta3 version. Before updating make sure to see the feature comparison with KDevelop3 and install the required software dependencies. You can read more about this release on the kdenews website.

2009-May-24 - KDevelop 4.0 beta3 released
KDevelop 4.0 beta3 (3.9.93) and KDevPlatform 0.9.93 were released today and can be downloaded via public ftp. They fix more than 83 bugs from the previous beta1 version. Before updating make sure to see the feature comparison with KDevelop3 and install the required software dependencies.

I am going to try update it to 3.9.95 (the latest version). If someone can help me please post what steps I should follow.
I am going to make install from source first time so i am unsure. I find this step by step guide:

Quote:

mkdir $HOME/src/kdevplatform/build
cd $HOME/src/kdevplatform/build
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$HOME/kdevelop4 ../
make
make install
export KDEDIRS=$HOME/kdevelop4:/usr
kbuildsycoca4

Is this correct?

I experienced some difficulties with the SDL libraries when I was trying to use of my graphic application code. It gives me undefined reference errors for SDL functions.

You can check out the Slackbuild that Pat uses to build it. But with it being part of the whole KDE package, you might need to add a couple of variables like what the version is.

Thanks.
I rebuilt the kdevelop from the source with little changes in Pats SlackBuilds. Now I have kdevelop-3.9.95 and kdevplatform-0.9.95

Unfortunately it does not solve my problem with my application. I still get undefined reference errors when compiling my c++ SDL application. I don't want to go back to kdevelop 3.5.5 so I try to search more.
Something has to be changed with SDL because the same code does work without problem in slackware12.2.
