Techisa Desktop Environment - Need help

lotho · 2006-03-13 02:26:11

Hi,

yesterday I discovered a new desktop environment. It is called Techisa Desktop Environment (TDE ) http://freshmeat.net/projects/tde/.
I made a PKGBUILD and build a package. The problem is now that it not really works. I get no panel and the windows have no titlebar.
It would be nice if anyone could build my PKGBUILD to confirm that it isn't working.

pkgname=tde2
pkgver=1.2.1
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc=""
url="http://tde.codigolivre.org.br/"
depends=('pam' 'fam' 'qt')
source=(http://mirror.codigolivre.org.br/pub/tde/tde2/1.2.1-1/$pkgname-src-$pkgver-1.tar.bz2)


build() {
  cd $startdir/src
  ./makeall


  mkdir -p $startdir/pkg/opt/tde2


  cp -r $startdir/src/bin    $startdir/pkg/opt/tde2
  cp -r $startdir/src/etc    $startdir/pkg/opt/tde2
  cp -r $startdir/src/lib    $startdir/pkg/opt/tde2
  cp -r $startdir/src/lang    $startdir/pkg/opt/tde2
  cp -r $startdir/src/misc    $startdir/pkg/opt/tde2
  cp -r $startdir/src/plugins    $startdir/pkg/opt/tde2
  cp -r $startdir/src/schemes    $startdir/pkg/opt/tde2
  cp -r $startdir/src/themes    $startdir/pkg/opt/tde2
  cp -r $startdir/src/doc    $startdir/pkg/opt/tde2
  cp -r $startdir/src/icons    $startdir/pkg/opt/tde2
  cp -r $startdir/src/styles    $startdir/pkg/opt/tde2

  
  cp -r $startdir/src/lib    $startdir/pkg/


  mkdir -p $startdir/pkg/usr/lib/
  mkdir -p $startdir/pkg/usr/bin/


  ln -sf /opt/tde2/lib/libtde*    $startdir/pkg/usr/lib/
  ln -sf /opt/tde2/bin/*tde*    $startdir/pkg/usr/bin/

  ln -sf /usr/share/pixmaps    $startdir/pkg/opt/tde2/icons/themes/tde

  chmod +x $startdir/pkg/opt/tde2/bin/starttde2
  chmod +s $startdir/pkg/opt/tde2/bin/tdesu

}

For compiling you need a symlink from /usr/lib/qt3 to /opt/qt/

thanks

PS: This project is at the moment only available in Brazillian Portuguese, desktop and documentation. Because I only speak German and English it is very difficult to understand.

Lotho;

Searched the reference and find that you may be using the wrong download.

I see a listing of various packages including a Linux .bz2 which has a different ID than the one you downloaded. These are listed as at different URL's. The Linux .bz2 is a later pkg than your 1.2.1

Perhaps that causes your difficulty?

Ok, now it works! Thanks lilsirecho.

The linux poackages only contains binaries, which I now installed. But it works fine.

Lotho;

Does the technica desktop load faster than kde?

I assume it is in portuguese as you stated.

Please advise your impression of the package after you have used it for a time for the purpose of information for arch users.

Thanks

Ok, i used it not for a long time, because only as root I have the panel and the titlebar of the windows.

It boots really fast. I would say 5-8 seconds. Its faster than XFCE (which I use at the moment).
Everything is as I said in portuguese, but it should be easy to make localization. The developers made an lang directory which only contains a portuguese directory at the moment.
There are not many applications which are come with it. A file manager and a bunch of plugins for the panel (clock,pager,cpu monitor) and the panel itself.

I would say could be a nice desktop, but it should be available in english and the documentation too. The scripts to build the hole package are really bad, I think they could be better.

Now the short version:
Could be better, needs more localization, buts it shows that desktops with Qt can boot fast .
