Re: Equinox Desktop Environment 1.0.2

I gave it a shot ... not sure if it's a good build or not.

Here's the one dependency, eFLTK:

pkgname=efltk
pkgver=2.0.4
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="Extended Fast Light Toolkit"
url="http://ede.sourceforge.net/"
license="LGPL"
depends=()
makedepends=()
conflicts=()
replaces=()
backup=()
install=
source=(http://kent.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/ede/$pkgname-$pkgver.tar.bz2)
md5sums=('8bc5e6e51a1a1a9fde2833220a5a6701')

build() {
  cp $startdir/efltk.spec.in $startdir/src/$pkgname
  cd $startdir/src/$pkgname
  ./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-xft --enable-opengl --enable-plugins --enable-utf8 --disable-mysql --disable-unixODBC
  make || return 1
  install -d $startdir/pkg/usr/lib
  make install prefix=$startdir/pkg/usr
}

and here's EDE:

pkgname=ede
pkgver=1.0.2
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="Equinox Desktop Environment"
url="http://ede.sourceforge.net/"
license="GPL"
depends=('efltk')
makedepends=()
conflicts=()
replaces=()
backup=()
install=
source=(http://kent.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/ede/$pkgname-$pkgver.tar.bz2)
md5sums=('7b036e7ee9e5b9a9f688c0cdc5224c17')

build() {
  cd $startdir/src/$pkgname
  ./configure --prefix=/usr
  make || return 1
  install -d $startdir/pkg/usr/bin
  #make DESTDIR=$startdir/pkg install
  make install prefix=$startdir/pkg/usr
}

Enjoy!

Re: Equinox Desktop Environment 1.0.2

Hi

PKGBUILD look good, dependencies are rather small - from what I remeber
it's libjpeg, the x-server and prolly gcc since it's all c++
Some screenies on Archlinux and my PKGBUILD, I'll try to make them "round" soon:

Re: Equinox Desktop Environment 1.0.2

Anyone prepared to update and adopt ede 1.1 & efltk 2.0.6?

Using the PKGBUILDs in this thread, the latest efltk gave:

/var/abs/local/efltk/src/efltk/efltk/Fl_Text_Buffer.h:81: error: extra qualification 'Fl_Text_Buffer::' on member 'static_buffer'
make[2]: *** [Fl_Text_Buffer.shared.o] Error 1

That error message is not really sufficient, but my best guess is
that you hit some incompatibilities between ede and gcc4.1.
But Honestly, I'm fishing here.

Re: Equinox Desktop Environment 1.0.2

From the project's forum it looks as if they now use SVN repositories for their code.  So the current PKGBUILDs are out of date.

Anyone up to the challenge?

Re: Equinox Desktop Environment 1.0.2

From sourceforge of project page:

Here is quick hack for problem so you can try to apply it:
- go to directory where you extracted efltk
- then try to open Fl_Text_Buffer.h (it is in efltk headers
directory)
- go to line 81 and instead

"char* Fl_Text_Buffer::static_buffer();"

place

"char* static_buffer();"

Then run "make clean" and "make".

Let we go with the second try Use previous steps, but
this time with Fl_Combo_Box.h file. Locate lines 26 and 27
and instead:

static void Fl_Combo_Box::cb_browse(Fl_Widget *w, void *data);
static void Fl_Combo_Box::cb_button(Fl_Widget *w, void *data);

put:

static void cb_browse(Fl_Widget *w, void *data);
static void cb_button(Fl_Widget *w, void *data);

I got some error about missing library, so I copied files from build directory of efltk /lib to /usr/lib, and it compiled sucessfuly.

After that I tried to compile ede but it says that version of efltk is too old, so I edited configure file to skip checking for efltk version by removing some code (quick and dirty but works)

EFLTK_VERSION="`efltk-config --version`"
case "$EFLTK_VERSION" in "2.0."[34])
                echo "$as_me:$LINENO: result: yes" >&5
echo "${ECHO_T}yes" >&6
        ;;
        *)
        { { echo "$as_me:$LINENO: error: It seems that you have older efltk version. Required is >= 2.0.3" >&5
echo "$as_me: error: It seems that you have older efltk version. Required is >= 2.0.3" >&2;}
   { (exit 1); exit 1; }; }
esac

It compiles and runs fine, but it is quite ugly, looks like kde 2.x or windows 95 ;P

Re: Equinox Desktop Environment 1.0.2

Re: Equinox Desktop Environment 1.0.2

Anyone still interested in this?
I am thinking of giving it a try but there's nothing in AUR.
The 2.0 beta looks nice.
