LXQt 0.15.0 for Slackware64-current

Anyone that would like to test out the LXQt 0.15.0 desktop environment on -current, here it is in all it's glory.

https://gitlab.com/slackdesk/lxqt

These are not compiled binaries, only SlackBuilds!

The build time for me on a C2D @ 2GHz w/ 4GB 800MHz RAM @ -j4 is a little over an hour, and comes to about 45MB.

Sorry that I do not have a "build order", I generally build in (and recommend) slackrepo. I'd be more than happy to help with a slackrepo config file if needed. Or if someone was to figure out the order, I would be more than happy to include it.

## A couple of notes ##

I have not tested this on 32bit Slackware, use at your own risk!

Please use the supplied openbox for the window manager, you will still need to select xinitrc.lxqt via xwmconfig. This makes LXQt completely standalone and no other DE's (XFCE) need to be installed in order for LXQt to function properly.

extra/pavucontrol-qt: This is an "official" LXQt package, but as it was tested it was found that it is just duplicating the stock Slackware pavucontrol. If you would rather run LXQt's Qt version, you should consider removing the Slackware package or else you'll have duplicates. Please note that removing the Slackware pavucontrol package and using only the LXQt pavucontrol-qt package has not been tested.

extra/screengrab: This is another "official" LXQt package that when installed is a duplicate application since lximage-qt has it's own screenshot application.

testing/organizer: This is not working at the moment.

thanks for making these, i used them to build the 0.14 version with my own hacked together build script.
i was never able to properly use slackrepo with your slackbuilds, it could be nice if you post your config or some instructions

Then build with:

Code:

slackrepo --repo=lxqt build

A couple of screenshots, I left the Plasma theme by default. I don't know why, I'll probably switch it to "System" and switch it to the default wallpaper as well.

Thanks tons for this!

I will add it to the repo along with a generic "BUILD_ORDER".

How is this project going on? I saw updates in the repo two months ago, but it seems to rely upon its own kde components, rather than now-stock Slackware's kde-5.

Are there any plans on submitting these slackbuilds to SBo?

I suppose that I could add a bit to the readme that notes if you have KDE installed, you don't need to build the KDE components.

If you decide to provide pre-built packages (I know you said you won't, but just in case things change) I'll be happy to host them on https://slackware.uk/ so the community can take advantage of your work :)

Thanks, I really appreciate that. I had thought about it before, but I barely have time to maintain the scripts. I have a central repo that is kept up to date, just not down to the DE's. Perhaps if I could re-imagine my "work flow" for them I would consider it again. I am going to try and update everything by this weekend. Thanks again.

OK, I think that I like where it's at right now. I have a few little details to work out still (TODO Added), like update the build script. Nothing that will affect the environment.

All the SlackBuilds are up to date, KDE packages up to 5.80.0 and libfm had a point release.

I separated the KDE dependencies so if KDE is already installed those don't need to be built.

So, kick the tires and take it for a spin. Working good here.

LXQt 0.15.0 for Slackware64-current

When I run the build_lxqt.sh script just after openbox is installed it errors saying extra-cmake-modules no such file or directory.

Yea, sorry about that.

If you are building with KDE 5 installed you don't need the /deps-kde packages.

So you can do two things, remove the KDE packages from the script or place all the /deps-kde SlackBuilds in the /deps directory.

I need a little time to work on that script.

Ok, build script updated, one option added: "KDE=yes ./build_lxqt.sh" will build the KDE packages if you do not have KDE installed.

Only thing left is to fine tune the KDE scripts. I'll probably do that during this week.

I'll try to let you know if this works in the Slackware 'Live' version of current. I can't be certain when I'll do it because at the moment I have a severely painful toothache and I've been trying to use my pain meds for my disability with my back to ease the toothache pain some...trying to get to 'Better Living Through Pharmaceuticals!'...so I hope I'm making sense here. bleh.
