gtk-kde4 cmake error

[Chomp]

I'm trying to create a rpm of gtk-kde4. This is my first attempt at creating a package. I've included the spec file and cli output as attachments. Here are the steps I've taken:

source: kde-apps, direct download
version: 0.9.4
distro: minime 2010 fully updated
installed: pkgutils, pkgutils-kde4, task-packaging-kde4, gtk-kde4 build requirements, gcc-c++
commands executed: mkrepo -a -d PCLinuxOS -v PCLinuxOS -s pclos -p Chomp

I managed to compile this fine on minime and it worked.  After a fresh re-install I followed the steps above and ended up with the cmake error you can see in the cli output file attachment.

The problem seems to be with

Code: [Select]

CMake Error at cmake_install.cmake:36 (FILE):
file INSTALL cannot find file
"/home/chomp/src/rpm/BUILD/gtk-kde4-0.9.4/lib/kcm_gk4.so" to install.
kcm_gk4 is located at /home/chomp/src/rpm/BUILD/gtk-kde4-0.9.4/build/lib/kcm_gk4.so

My spec file is based off of the qtcurve-gtk2 spec file since the install instructions are similar and both apps provide a similar service. I've read the instructions at http://tinymelinux.com/doku.php/build-rpms:intro and have tried playing with the spec file in various ways with no luck.

Can I get the spec file to look in /home/chomp/src/rpm/BUILD/gtk-kde4-0.9.4/build/lib/kcm_gk4.so instead of /home/chomp/src/rpm/BUILD/gtk-kde4-0.9.4/lib/kcm_gk4.so? What am I doing wrong?

CMake Error at cmake_install.cmake:36 (FILE):
  file INSTALL cannot find file
  "/home/chomp/src/rpm/BUILD/gtk-kde4-0.9.4/lib/kcm_gk4.so" to install.

It looks to me like the sources file cmake_install.cmake has errored out at line 36 where it is looking for the file "/home/chomp/src/rpm/BUILD/gtk-kde4-0.9.4/lib/kcm_gk4.so" and cannot find it where it expects it to be.

Also there is no %files section in your spec file so even if it builds it will fail to create an rpm.

This package required some work on the cmake file as well as a patch from slackware. I'm going to put it in the repo to replace gtk-qt and see if it works any better without hanging firefox in memory that some people are having issues with.

You also need this patch from slackware.

and patch it with

Just like months later I still don't always understand what O-P posted, I expect that months from now I may still be trying to figure this one out.

hehe. funny man.  If not for the junk left in there, I'm not sure I would even have a brain.

[Chomp]

Wow, thanks a lot Texstar, I never would have figured that out on my own.  I didn't want to post my question because I really wanted to figure it out on my own, but now I'm glad I did. Will have a look at this fully tomorrow.

Most KDE 4 packages don't have this problem. This one had a bad cmake file.

Thanks. That's saves me from having to post a software request :-)

Oh yeah, no problem, it's just a bad cmake file.  Duh.  (He makes it sound so easy.)  Don't think I would have figured all that out either.

I was having some difficulty after recent KDE4 updates with not being able to see right click menu's in gtk applications when using gtk-oxygen-molecule so I switched to gtk-kde4 for abit, but didn't like the blocky frames used in GTK gui's with gtk-kde4.  


Anyway, I was looking at the project page for gtk-kde4 and there is a beta out that is suppose to fix the display of frames, tabs, etc.

After modifying the cmakeLists.txt similiar to Tex's fix for the previous version, I am getting a weird error from cpio when it tries to package the RPM (..it seems to build just fine):

(..after re-installing gtk-oxygen-molecule my issues with right click menus fixed itself!  )

[travisN000]

I think I may have found the problem...

/home/tln/src/tmp/gtk-kde4-0.9.5b-1travisn0002010-buildroot/etc/xdg/autostart/gtk-kde4.desktop  is an empty file! 

[Chomp]

I had the same problem as you travisn000 when trying to update to 0.9.5b, see http://www.pclinuxos.com/forum/index.php/topic,82581.0.html.  I contacted the developer and he's not sure what the problem is, but if the desktop file is empty, then it's empty. I spent a full day of hair tearing trying to get it to build. I also had to patch the crap out of the makefile just to get it to build at all. I've since dumped gtk-kde4 for gtk-oxygen-engine(which the developers have since renamed oxygen-gtk) because it actually works, unlike gtk-kde4 which has always been buggy, and gtk-oxygen-molecule which does not obey kde system colors.

Unlike other attempts made to port the kde oxygen theme to gtk, this attempt does not depend on Qt (via some Qt to Gtk conversion engine), nor does render the widget appearance via hard coded pixmaps, which otherwise breaks everytime some setting is changed in kde.

My suggestion is to forget gtk-kde4 and give gtk-oxygen-engine a try, I'm quite pleased with it.

Cheers
