system-config-printer build errors

[roved2101]

I am trying to repackage system-config-printer as it was in 2007. I find it a nice application for printer management over printerdrake.

I have downloaded the src.rpm from mandriva, modified the spec file and dependencies, built python-smbc as it required. This is the out put I get when trying to the second last stage of the build.

I understand Mandriva's system is completely different to ours but don't seems to be able to work out whats up with dbus.

Any help would be appreciated. Still learning all the ins and outs.

I think the main part of your error comes from this:

Makefile
configure.in:3: version mismatch.  This is Automake 1.11,
configure.in:3: but the definition used by this AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE
configure.in:3: comes from Automake 1.11.1.  You should recreate
configure.in:3: aclocal.m4 with aclocal and run automake again.

..try adding aclocal as the first line of your %build section; if that doesn't work, try one of the solutions in this post:

Thanks travisn000 that worked reach a new hurdle.

Also is a link to my spec file. http://pastebin.com/37nGKN1q

Thanks travisn000 that worked reach a new hurdle.

Also is a link to my spec file. http://pastebin.com/37nGKN1q

desktop-file-install    \
          --dir /home/roved/src/rpm/tmp/system-config-printer-1.2.0-buildroot/usr/share/applications/           \
          --add-category System                 \

          --add-category GTK                    \
          system-config-printer.desktop
Must specify the vendor namespace for these files with --vendor

Your Spec file lists the following .desktop files in the %files section:

%{_datadir}/applications/system-config-printer.desktop
%{_datadir}/applications/manage-print-jobs.desktop
%{_sysconfdir}/xdg/autostart/print-applet.desktop

..one or all of them needs the vendor namespace blanked out; try adding something like the following to your spec (at the end of your %install section):

desktop-file-install \
 --vendor="" \
 --add-category="X-MandrivaLinux-System-Configuration-Printing" \
 --dir $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{_datadir}/applications \
$RPM_BUILD_ROOT%%{_datadir}/applications/system-config-printer.desktop

(also note the addition of a mandriva xdg menu category..  I'm pretty sure we need that as well)

..if that doesn't work, you may have to dig through the source and create a patch that adds the  --vendor="" option to desktop-file-install (It doesn't appear to be in the spec.. unless I missed it  )

I've reach the hurdle using the instructions you gave and not sure how to make the patch file.

From your build error:

Failed to open file '/home/roved/src/rpm/tmp/system-config-printer-1.2.0-build%{_datadir}/applications/system-config-printer.desktop': No such file or directory

..it appears that the code that I gave you for updating the  .desktop files is not getting correctly translated to the actual path of your %buildroot;  your previously posted spec defines the following:

BuildRoot:      %{_tmppath}/%{name}-%{version}-buildroot

..looking at the code I gave you before, I see that there is an error in it; the double %% symbols should be changed to a single % symbol...  

Broken:

desktop-file-install \
 --vendor="" \
 --add-category="X-MandrivaLinux-System-Configuration-Printing" \
 --dir $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{_datadir}/applications \
$RPM_BUILD_ROOT%%{_datadir}/applications/system-config-printer.desktop

Fixed:

desktop-file-install \
 --vendor="" \
 --add-category="X-MandrivaLinux-System-Configuration-Printing" \
 --dir $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{_datadir}/applications \
$RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{_datadir}/applications/system-config-printer.desktop

..if that doesn't fix it, you can also try changing $RPM_BUILD_ROOT to %{buildroot} (..those should be interpreted exactly the same though).

Still getting the same error I have included all spec file again as well as error log file.

I downloaded the SRPM and unpacked the source.  From here I was able to use the kde find utility to search inside the source directory for the string "--add-category"; this showed two files..  Makefile.am and Makefile.in  ..following the directions here (link) for creating a patch I came up with the following attached files.

After applying the patch, the errors regarding the .deskop files no longer occur, but now %install fails with a new error...  unfortunatly the error message is not very helpful:
