So far I have overcome quite a few problems with this, but this one has me stumped:

Code: [Select]

/usr/bin/install: will not overwrite just-created `/home/joe/src/tmp/celestia-1.6.0-0pclos2010-buildroot/usr/share/celestia/data/stars.dat' with `stars.dat'
make[3]: *** [install-pkgdataDATA] Error 1

Anyone know what that's about?

[Joble]

Ah, got a clue.  Gotta love Google sometimes. 

[Neal ManBear]

Yea. Gotta love Google.

...[install-pkgdataDATA]...

hmm...... data and DATA?

[Joble]

In the examples I saw, the makefile, makefile.in and makefile.am were installing the problem file twice, I'm hoping it's that simple.  Gotta wait till lunch time to check it out.

[Joble]

HAHA!  I got rid of the stars.dat error, problem is, not sure stars.dat will even exist at all when I'm finished!  

Right now, my spec file is a total hack job, but I am overcoming the problems, one at a time, as they crop up.  Building it without kde-libs using only gnome dependencies, hoping it will run on kde3 and kde4 without needing to be rebuilt.  Lot of work to do yet, but progress.

One thing I think is way kool!  They added support for theora.  As I understand it, you should be able to make an .ogg video file out of any animations you create?  Should be a way kool feature, if it works.

Edit:

Argh!  One thing after another!  Give me a freaking break!
+ cp -pr AUTHORS ChangeLog COPYING INSTALL README TODO /home/joe/src/tmp/celestia-1.6.0-1pclos2010-buildroot/usr/share/doc/celestia-1.6.0
cp: cannot stat `TODO': No such file or directory

No, I don't need help with that one, there is no TODO file, duh!  

[Joble]

OK, need a little help here.
error: Installed (but unpackaged) file(s) found:
   /etc/gconf/schemas/celestia.schemas
   /usr/share/locale/ar/LC_MESSAGES/celestia_constellations.mo

According to the tutorial:
%{_sysconfdir}  /etc

So, what is the macro for locale?

I think I got it, in general, %{_datadir} but the locale files are either not found, or listed twice!  DOH!

    Testing testing testing 

Do I sound happy?  Well I am!  (I hope it works)

[Joble]

Texstar:  Works in kde3, will test in kde4 and hope slick50 (or someone) well test in gnome.  I did have to go into the menu for view options and select some stuff first, I had a blank screen before I set that up.  Maybe put this in testing for a bit, and check my work?

I will send it up as soon as I'm sure about the runtime deps.  I had to install a lot of devel files to get this built.

Joble seems to need no one in order to have a detailed thread. A complete conversation. LOL

[Joble]

hehe, I was hoping for some help, but it seems I got it sorted.  

There was a question about the stars.dat issue on the celestial forum.  If I can reply anonymous I will, but I'm not going to register just to answer that one post.

[Rudge]

So it is KDE4 related? My KDE4 is on a box that can't do 3D (it is my test box) That software works fine on my main PC with KDE3

[Joble]

Nope, the readme and install instructions say it is kde3, but it is also gtk and gnome.  I didn't build it with any kde dependencies, and I'm hoping it run in kde4.  I already know it runs in kde3.  (PCLinuxOS uses a lot of gnome stuff already)  I will test it in kde4, probably not till morning though.  I'm worried about run time dependencies, gnome, LUA and theora, specifically.

Sorry I didn't get back sooner. I was working on my old HP test box. It seems to be dying.

So would you like me to test this on LXDE? Where is the package?

[Joble]

Neal: It's on your FTP site.  I don't expect you need a link.  You might need libgnomeui, liblua, and libtheora to make it work.  I sent the .spec, but if you want the .src.rpm I will send it too.

Okay. I'll let you know how it works out. That will probably be tomorrow. Getting kinda late.
