Impossible to install icecat (solved)

Hello,

When I try to install icecat, the console says:

$ yaourt -S icecat

==> Téléchargement du PKGBUILD de icecat depuis AUR...

x xulrunner-copy-stub.patch
x PKGBUILD
x mozilla-firefox-1.0-lang.patch
x icecat-safe.desktop

x mozconfig
x icecat.install

Am I really though? 

I have gtk-qt-engine running just fine without libbonoboui or kdelibs (which both pull in a ton of unnescessary depends), and I have icecat running just fine without libgnomeui. Both of which were built without those packages and without the need for --disable flags or otherwise pkgbuild modification except removing/replacing deps. If this is possible, why should they be required?

How about this from the gtk-qt-engine readme?

Prerequisites:
CMake 2.4
Qt 4.3 developement package
GTK developement package

I dont see any libgnomeui or kdelibs, no affiliation with any DE at all.

or how about this from the icecat readme?

The default configuration of IceCat uses the following libraries:
libpango libpangoxft libpangoft2 libfreetype libxft libgtk2 libx11

wheres libgnomeui? The configure script checks for it sure, but it doesnt require it, not for building or otherwise. Only gnome users might want this, but even then its not required. Its like an optbuilddep because its optional, but if you choose to use it it should be installed before you compile like a builddep. This could easily be covered in the optdep details (libgnomeui: for gnome integration, requires rebuilding the package)

i was talking only about icecat and firefox. if you use firefox, pacman will never fetch libgnomeui and after compiling icecat you do pacman -Rs $(pacman -Qdtq) will clean that crap too.

i18n package was splitted. Please, check your language package: icecat-${langpack}. Much better, I think.

The package xulrunner has been updated from 1.9.2.4 to 1.9.2.6 version and I can't install IceCat by the dependencies. What can I do?

@Ravenman, IceCat needs exactly its xulrunner version, but you can use IceCat with lastest xulrunner, though. It isn't recommended, just it works. I've been playing a bit and IceCat seems to be stable. Quick steps:

- pacman -Sd xulrunner
- Download lastest tarball and untar it.
- makepkg -d
- pacman -U icecat-3.6.4-1-${arch}.pkg.tar.xz

or just you can wait until Giuseppe release lastest version ;)

@Ravenman: Or you could download the older version of xulrunner from Arch Rollback Machine: http://arm.kh.nu/search/. Use pacman -U to install it. Then edit the IgnorePkg line in pacman.conf and add xulrunner, so it doesn't get upgraded, with system upgrades. That's what I do when I'm waiting for Icecat to get upgraded to the latest version. Usually Icecat upgrades right away or withing a couple days, but this time the GNU OS people seem to be taking a longer time.

etc…
I tried:

pacman -Sd xulrunner
- Download lastest tarball and untar it.
- makepkg -d
- pacman -U icecat-3.6.4-1-${arch}.pkg.tar.xz

It stops with makepkg

I don't know or understand…

Re: Impossible to install icecat (solved)

1. remove xulrunner, icecat, and wireless_tools (assuming you didn't already remove wireless_tools when it asked you about it)

2. install icecat again but this time modify the pkgbuild (change the depends  xulrunner=1.9.2.4 to xulrunner=1.9.2.6)

(the package was failing to build because the icecat pkgbuild specifies a specific version of xulrunner and the maintainer never changed it when the new version of xulrunner came out.)

Thank you very much it works!
