Our first project, teagtk and teaqt - Finished!

[Linuxera]

Maybe you can check for projects in the broken packages section.  If you wanna jump right in, and skip class.   

Now that's an idea worth looking into.  Tex has processed the package on the contribs server and is now working on getting the repositories straightened out.  He's working like a packaging machine at the moment..   You could try one of the packages in the broken package section, and see if your results turn out the same as Tex's.  That should help you see how he thinks as a packager.

Have fun!!!

OK, I'm going to lock this.  When QT4.4 hits the repos, will come back to it.

Out of pure desparation I'm working on this again.  Seems there are two versions, gtk and qt.  I think I'll try to build them both, I need the practice.

[Joble]

OK, this thing built fine but I do have a question.  tea is now qt, tea for gtk has been renamed teagtk, since I intend to try to build them both, would this line suffice in my spec file to keep things straight in the repo?
GTK Spec file:
Obsoletes:   tea-17.6.1-1pclos2007

Hmm, answered my own question I think.  Installed tea from the repo, then installed teagtk, and now they are both installed, so that didn't work as I expected it would.

[travisN000]

try:

Code: [Select]

Obsoletes: tea <= 17.6.1-1
..might want to make that version number higher..  ie. last shared qt-gtk version (..just in case someone has personal RPM install)

[Joble]

I will give that a try, Thx Travis.

[Joble]

Code: [Select]

Obsoletes: tea <= 17.6.5

Code: [Select]

The following NEW packages will be installed:
  teagtk

That did it, now to build the qt version and check for conflicts!

Thx Again Travis!

Another Delay.  The QT version requires QT4.4 or higher, which it looks like we have in synaptic, so I installed task-qt4 and searched for qmake, there are symlinks to it all over the place but it does not exist in /usr/lib/qt4/bin/ which is where all the symlinks point.    

qmake -> /usr/lib/qt4/bin/qmake  (It does not exist)

I will send the updated gtk version to contribs, but if I ever get the qt version built and they conflict, I will have to mkrel 2.

Sent!

Edit:

Nice!  We now have qmake.

At my whits end for the moment, here's where it left off, any help appreciated:

Try removing / commenting out the corresponding lines from the files section of your spec.. 

You may get new errors about un-packaged files afterward; if you do, then add the file/paths for the un-packaged files to your files section.

looks like your getting close! 

[Joble]

You pointed me in the right direction for sure.  Got it to build with no errors and installs fine, but..... I can't find the executable!  Either they forgot it   or I'm still doing something wrong.  

[MaddogF16]

/usr/bin?? /usr/share/bin??

[Joble]

Not there, does not exist.  Could not find with which and could not updatedb and locate it.  It's not there.

[travisN000]

Try to configure/make/install it manually and see what it does? 

if it really doesn't exist, contact the developer

[Joble]

The source installs the executable to /usr/local/bin/

After watching the source build, it looks like qmake is what actually builds the executable and the make file, so I think the problem lies there, with the spec file.

I am learning a bit about what not to do, with trying different things.
