RSSnow fetching feeds

whashnez · 2008-10-29 11:25:22

Hello everybody!Congratulations on your great work under Arch Linux it's the best distro,according to my opinion, after having tested Ubuntu,Suse,Fedora and Debian....I have a small problem though with one very useful for me plasmoid I found on AUR.The RSSnow plasmoid...I installed it,ran it but when I added a feed it printed "Fetching Feeds" and stuck there...I googled it up and found that I have to install an rss machine from svn, named plasma-dataengine-rss or something like that....I followed the intructions but when it came to 'make', the result was nothing:

[whashnez@whashnez build]$ make
[whashnez@whashnez build]$

Then just out of curiosity I tried 'make install' and the result was

[whashnez@whashnez build]$ make install
make: *** No rule to make target `install'.  Stop.
[whashnez@whashnez build]$

The same output is printed using sudo make install.

Could you help me with this problem, I really need that plasmoid...Thank you very much.

You need to read these wiki pages to learn about installing packages from the AUR:

http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AUR
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Makepkg

Thanks for replying!I already know how to build packages from AUR.This package was from KDE's svn and has no PKGBUILD in it, it has to be built with cmake, make, make install etc...Here's the page I found the instructions:

I appreciate your help.

5 second search in AUR:

Thanx for replying but:
1st: I have already installed the plasmoid!The thing that's missing is the rss machine!
2nd: Even if that machine is included in that svn package you sent me, it wont build.Here's the output:

==> Starting build()...
svn: File not found: revision 877441, path '/trunk/playground/base/plasma/applets/rssnow'
==> SVN checkout done or server timeout
==> Starting make...
CMake Error: The source directory "/home/whashnez/Desktop/kdemod-plasmoid-rssnow-svn/src/kdemod-plasmoid-rssnow" does not exist.
Specify --help for usage, or press the help button on the CMake GUI.
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.
==> ERROR: Build Failed.
    Aborting...
[whashnez@whashnez kdemod-plasmoid-rssnow-svn]$

Again thanx for your help.

Please anybody tell me at least why it does not build.

Garns · 2008-10-31 17:28:21

svn co svn://anonsvn.kde.org/home/kde/trunk/playground/base/plasma/applets/rssnow
svn: URL 'svn://anonsvn.kde.org/home/kde/trunk/playground/base/plasma/applets/rssnow' doesn't exist

try changing the line

_svntrunk=svn://anonsvn.kde.org/home/kde/trunk/playground/base/plasma/applets/rssnow

in the PKGBUILD to

_svntrunk=svn://anonsvn.kde.org/home/kde/trunk/KDE/kdeplasma-addons/applets/rssnow

whashnez · 2008-10-31 18:52:43

I did what you said and upon building it came to this error:

make[2]: *** [CMakeFiles/plasma_applet_rssnow.dir/scroller.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [CMakeFiles/plasma_applet_rssnow.dir/all] Error 2
make: *** [all] Error 2
==> ERROR: Build Failed.
    Aborting...
[whashnez@whashnez kdemod-plasmoid-rssnow-svn]$

Any ideas?Are you sure that this package also includes the rss machine?Thanks again!

Garns · 2008-10-31 20:14:51

I'm pretty sure it doesn't. Were there by any chance some error messages above those you posted, because they are pretty useless.

Regarding rss dataengine: Did cmake give you any errors? I had to install automoc4 and kdepimlibs to get a Makefile.

Do you see something?I already have automoc4 and kdepimlibs...Thank you!

And nothing happpens when you type make? That is a bit strange. Can you post the created Makefile?
