Get your Gnome 2.16 PKGBUILDs here-- x86_64 & i686 repos

karsten · 2006-09-09 03:20:21

Hi all! I put together some very rough PKGBUILDs for the much anticipated Gnome 2.16 by updating software revisions in the official PKGBUILDs. Hopefully it will tide you over until the devs get back. Please post any issues you encounter during compile/install and how to fix them to this thread so that everyone can update the PKGBUILDs on their system accordingly and continue the build.
Enjoy

Update 09/12/2006: Added a repo (thx shadowhand) so it's easy to install:

64-bit:
[karsten]
http://arch.os-zen.net/pkg/karsten/x86_64

32-bit:
[karsten]
http://arch.os-zen.net/pkg/karsten/i686

make sure to put "IgnorePkg = libwnck" in your pacman.conf after you've updated so it won't go bezerk.

PKGBUILDs to make/install yourself:

updated version: (0.22) (09/12/06 23:27 CST):
gnome-2.16build0.22.tar.bz2

changelog (0.22):
updates-issues

suggested install order:

great work man.. just one thing is missing: gnome-power-manager.

yet i am guessing that that one is hard to install with dbus and all that stuff..

thanks i'll look into it.. i've made some updates to the files and will release a 0.20 version of the .tar file later today..

karsten · 2006-09-09 17:23:06

OK, I've released the 0.20 version of this compilation. fixed some version and path issues, and some outdated patches. It should get a working Gnome 2.16 system up and running for you.

See the the "suggested-install-order" file in the archive for installation suggestions.

Have fun

Well Done Man! I almost love you

Blaasvis · 2006-09-09 19:56:07

put this in every PKGBUILD which is causing scrollkeeper trouble:

  find . -name Makefile.in -exec sed -i -e 's/-scrollkeeper-update.*//' {} ;
  if [ -f omf.make ]; then
    sed -i -e 's/-scrollkeeper-update.*//' omf.make
  fi
  
  ./configure --prefix=/opt/gnome --disable-scrollkeeper

the sed takes care of the not installing scrollstuff on compile/package making time.

and put

  scrollkeeper-update -q -p var/lib/scrollkeeper

in the .install file this will update the scrollkeeper stuff on install, this shoul d get the scrollkeeper trouble out..

p.s. knarsten: if you do not have a clue to fix it contact me on msn/jabber

karsten · 2006-09-09 20:58:30

thanks Blaasvis that got 4 more packages up and running

released updated 0.21 version. only ones that refuse to work are gnome-terminal, nautilus-sendto, pygtk, vte, and zenity.

JGC · 2006-09-09 21:06:17

Take note that many packages have switched from the find/sed hack in Makefile.in to a nice --disable-scrollkeeper. Some packages need both though: some packages have only been ported halfway from gtk-doc to gnome-doc-utils and still contain scrollkeeper crap in the makefiles.

jinn · 2006-09-10 11:17:17

just thought of this.. i am using xgl right now, andh ave libwnck-compiz installed, which conflicts with gnome 2.16 libwnck when trying to install it.. can i run gnome 2.16 with xgl? which should i use?

jinn · 2006-09-10 11:24:40

btw, would be nice with a script to auto makepkg and install these.. i am not good with scripting and unfortunately cant write anything good.

basilburn · 2006-09-10 17:10:15

Jinn

Check the man page for makeworld.

It should automate the building for you.

i know this one won't build at all. "--vte: is a complete mess, skip for now." nontheless that patch is already commented in the PKGBUILD.

sorry i forgot to erase the sourceforge mirrors i had used for my own build. they all should read dl.sourceforge.net so you can use your own closest mirror.

EricNeon · 2006-09-11 12:55:20

hi karsten:
I had completed 33 packages of your gnome2.16-build group. Can I upload those packages to you or any repo to let users test gnome-2.16 ?

karsten · 2006-09-11 13:34:29

that would be great. are you on a 32-bit system? i'm setting up a server as we speak.

jinn · 2006-09-11 20:08:16

Hi,

I have those as wel(only the @ packages)=, and i am on a 32bit system. let me know if you need anything from me also.

cheers
Jinn

EricNeon · 2006-09-12 01:08:28

yeah, I am on a 32-bit system.I will come in irc room:)

EricNeon · 2006-09-12 02:09:59

libwnck-2.16 packages have any wrongs, use #pacman -Su it will layout :
"errror: unresolvable dependencies:
gnome-system-monitor:requires libwnck>=2.16.0
gnome-panel:requires libwnck>=2.16.0
"
when I login gnome enviloment through gdm, nautilus and gnome-menu will crash.
and when I logout gnome,the *-username files in /tmp will not clean.

karsten · 2006-09-12 11:11:29

in pacman.conf put

IgnorePkg = libwnck

and that should take care of it

jinn · 2006-09-12 16:46:22

has anyone got it working with xgl? or without xgl for that matter?

I did not install libwnck from offical repo,just is libwnck-2.16.0,but after it had installed ,pacman can't detect.

dbus's PKGBUILD :
source=(http://dbus.freedesktop.org/releases/${pkgname}-${pkgver}.tar.gz
dbus)
change to :
source=(http://dbus.freedesktop.org/releases/dbus/${pkgname}-${pkgver}.tar.gz
dbus)

we need a new package-> dbus-glib:
http://dbus.freedesktop.org/releases/db … .71.tar.gz

karsten · 2006-09-13 04:10:33

yeah i'm not really sure how to build the dbus stuff. at least now you don't need it i'm running fine without it

Razer(x) · 2006-09-13 12:35:12

wow..awesome..i'll try it tonight...but it works with aiglx?

Razer(x) · 2006-09-13 13:35:34

damn..what should i do?libwnck conflicts with libwnck-compiz-quinn. Remove libwnck-compiz-quinn? [Y/n]
