kahakai

Dusty · 2004-04-17 17:50:17

I'm trying to build kahakai, apparently its supposed to be a headache no matter what. :-/

this is my PKGBUILD:

pkgname=kahakai
pkgver=0.6.2
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc=""An extremely cool window manager for X based on the (dead?) Waimea Window Manager." Only the new version. ;)"
url=""
depends=(xfree86 boost python swig)
makedepends=()
conflicts=()
replaces=()
backup=()
install=
source=(http://aleron.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/kahakai/$pkgname-$pkgver.tar.bz2)
md5sums=('84f1501035d1fbab7eb46121a47b0dd8')

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

I'm getting this error:

And according to kahakai wiki:

Compilation bombs out on swig_wrapper_python.cc or swig_wrapper_ruby.cc
Please check your SWIG version: 1.3.18 and 1.3.19 have a bug, 1.3.16 or 1.3.17 work fine.

the SWIG version in pacman is 1.3.21. Apparently it doesn't work with kahakai either. I think the bug is in kahakai, not swig. :-D

I don't feel like messing with this a lot, but what can somebody suggest for the easiest way to solve this? I assume downgrading swig is one option, but that's not easy or clean.

I would like to help please

I just used your pkgbuild and kahakai built fine

Dusty · 2004-04-17 20:20:54

thanks.

its odd that it worked though. Do you have the latest swig installed too? usually stuff on Arch works for stuff on Arch.

I'm downloading the package, I'll be sure to let you know if it doesn't work. :-D

Maybe we should let contrasutra know that the package is (or might be) working again so he can put it in his TUR. What chances he'll read this?

Dusty

Dusty · 2004-04-17 20:43:03

Ok, it doesn't work for me, its failing on IMlib2. I'm just pacmanning this in right now, but imlib2 should be added to the list of depends for this package, and the release incremented.

will let you know if it works now...

Dusty

dakor · 2004-04-17 22:55:22

do u want me to add it to the pkg build?

Dusty · 2004-04-17 23:54:56

Sure, and it seems to be working now.

Only I'm having a problem with using "Super" as a modifier key. Its sending events even when the key isn't down. I'll work on sorting that one out later.

Dusty

dakor · 2004-04-18 04:26:46

alright keep me updated

Mr Green · 2004-04-18 09:46:30

Man its lighter then fluxbox,,,,, 8)

emmm now we need some themes ...

Dusty can you edit your PKGBUILD on thread so others may give it a go...(please)

Mr Green

Mr Green · 2004-04-18 10:51:34

.desktop file if you want to run from KDM/GDM

[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=Kahakai
Comment=Kahakai
Exec=/usr/bin/kahakai
#no icon yet, only the top three are currently used
Icon=
Type=Application

save as kahakai.desktop then as root

mv kahakai.desktop /etc/X11/sessions

BigBadPenguin · 2004-04-23 10:30:29

Awesome, my pkgbuild worked? (sounds like i forgot imlib2 though, sorry bout that) I definitely think contrasutra should know his pkgbuild works without patching headers in the new versions of X. He would for sure put a new pkg in his TUR. There are quite a few themes at freshmeat for this most excellent WM. Enjoy Kahakai! I think it rocks.

zeppelin · 2004-04-23 21:03:21

so is there a working PKG outthere??

there are two in ftp://ftp.archlinux.org/incoming

if those are broken (or old) remove them or at least add the new one that works. I want to try Kahakai!! heheh

Dusty · 2004-04-23 21:12:47

At least one of the ones in incoming worked for me.

I logged into Kahakai IRC a while back and the topic was something along the lines of "Kahakai is no longer being developed". I was having trouble with it not recognizing my Super key, so I'm back on flux-devel now.
