kde 4.6.3 list of src.rpms

[forrestw517]

I am currently building the binaries for 64 bit could someone go to http://mirror.yandex.ru/mandriva/devel/ ... n/release/ http://mirror.yandex.ru/mandriva/devel/ ... b/release/ http://mirror.yandex.ru/mandriva/devel/ ... e/release/

and create a list of all the sources needed. I will do the leg work building it. I will have to install 32 bit in vmware or virtualbox to work on the 32bit binaries.

For a list of a full KDE port you can refers to KDE 4.5.5 SC port for 2010.2
http://mib.pianetalinux.org/MIB/2010.2/ ... /kde4.5.5/

thanks I will try those. also I came across cmake and cpack? is there a specific way to generate the kde packages from tar.gz from kde.org with that command and can you assist with the syntax of how to proceed? some of the src.rpms want other parts of 4.6.3 installed to continue to build and dont want to do that because of stability and kde issues that have come up trying.

[NicCo]

from tar.gz, it has not a sense...

you can use the specs from previous version, preparing new srpms modifying the necessary parts
there is a sequence to build, before it's necessary to prepare main dependencies like qt, kdelibs, ecc
then build and install all the resulting rpms, then continuing to prepare and build all other packages,
until to the end

if you have problems with some you have to fix the config & build errors for all encontered problems...

trying to install lib64gdk_pixbuf2.0-devel-2.22.1-4mdv2010.2.x86_64.rpm that I built and it proceeds to uninstall almost everything. now i have to do another full install of mandriva 2010.2 any advice?

[NicCo]

When installing some rpms if it requires to uninstall half distro,

you can check the .spec file, especially the lines with

Conflicts: package version
Obsoletes: package version
Requires: package version

fix them and rebuild again, try to install new rpms


you can even install some necessary libs in this way
first check which packages need to install, collect all them into a folder, and then

cd /path/folder
rpm -Uvh --nodeps *.rpm


I also suggest you, in order to avoid false lacking of dependencies,
to add your rpm build directories as new local repositories, E.g.:

urpmi.addmedia --update Local-repo-32 /home/$user/rpmbuild/RPMS/i686 or i586
urpmi.addmedia --update Local-repo-64 /home/$user/rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64
urpmi.addmedia --update Local-repo-noarch /home/$user/rpmbuild/RPMS/noarch

I managed to get gdk pixbuf installed with --force and have been able to continue to build packages.

Those who are looking for 4.6.3 this is a very daunting task. I have been working 2 full days on the 64bit and not completed yet. so lets give MIB a break when asking for packages it takes some time and we are doing it on our own time.

[forrestw517]

I finished what I could build going by the 4.5.5 list. when I was done with the build and logged out all I got was 2 huge icons with xguest and my user and no options to choose a desktop just lxde. so I did a fresh install of 2010.2 and create the update repos locally and see what happens.

due to negative comments and assistance with the #mandriva-cooker irc channel for help building kde 4.6.3 I have abandoned this project and have moved from Mandriva to opensuse 11.4 which is using 4.6 kde and includes all the amateur radio applications that I require. I apologize for this but this was a needed change to find better distro assistance all around. thank you MIB for the packages you had built for me in the past.

[NicCo]

due to negative comments and assistance with the #mandriva-cooker irc channel for help building kde 4.6.3...

yes, I can immagine...


you could wait mandriva 2011 for kde 4.6.x, or a future port of kde 4.6.5 for 2010.2 from community
why to be so impatient for a new kde version, it doesn't add any major feature to a distro, most important things are others

kde 4.6.3 was only a minor issue. alot of the issues were the ham radio programs that wont compile on mandriva no matter what I did to try and make them work. the move to opensuse was mainly due to the ham radio repo and having a sub menu containing these apps. and having to install either fedora or opensuse rpm in mandriva hoping they would install or even work. as for 2011 I am not impressed by the new rosa panel either.

[NicCo]

Rosa Panel is not mandriva 2011, is only a feature amongst others that you can like or not, you can even disable it

Mandriva 2011 will be:

• new RPM5
• new SystemD
• new GCC 4.6
• but mainly, new very smart and capable people NOW leading the project...

Mandriva needs time to come back to the easily friendly distro we have known,
Unfortunately, in recent years, no innovation, no user listening, and had made ​​many steps back...

That's why the MIB was born three years ago from mandriva users, we do what we can to help users,
We try to do our best, in our spare time.

I have been using mandriva since 2000 when I graduated from Tech school. Its fast and clean but trying to build or install some ham radio apps is a challenge for me since I have no real programming experience. If there was a ham radio repo for mandriva as is with ubuntu, opensuse and fedora not have to use rpms from either fedora or opensuse I would gladly use it again. I emailed the developers about it and most got told to look somewhere else for that kind of assistance and MIB has done a couple for me and I appreciate it. I refuse to go back to windows to do my amateur radio stuff if MIB would like to create this repo I would be grealy appreciated. This was the main reason moving to opensuse since I could add th ier ham radio repo and easlly install what I needed.

the project is back on schedule currently building kde 4.6.3 64bit long tedious process and meeting the dependancies takes alot of time.
