trying to install comical....

I'm trying to install the comical comic reader, but I keep getting an error from make....

This is the error:

ComicalApp.cpp: In member function ‘virtual bool ComicalApp::OnInit()’:
ComicalApp.cpp:63:17: error: invalid use of incomplete type ‘struct wxIcon’
/usr/include/wx-2.8/wx/gdicmn.h:35:28: error: forward declaration of ‘struct wxIcon’
make[1]: *** [ComicalApp.o] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/meskarune/abs/comical/src/comical-0.8/src'
make: *** [src/ComicalApp.o] Error 2

And the makepkg I'm working with is this one:

# Maintainer: Dolores Portalatin <meskarune@gmail.com>

pkgname=comical
pkgver=0.8
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="Comic book reader that opens cbr and cbz archives"
arch=('i686' 'x86_64')
url="http://comical.sourceforge.net/"
license=('GPL')
groups=()
depends=('wxgtk')
makedepends=()
source=(http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/$pkgname/$pkgname/$pkgver/$pkgname-$pkgver.tar.gz)
noextract=()
md5sums=(F5808E28FD5A2A3D21B59CDAD10ECA3D)

build() {
  cd $srcdir/$pkgname-$pkgver
  make || return 1
  make DESTDIR=$pkgdir install || return 1
}

I have all the dependancies installed, and I'm not entirely sure how to fix the wxicon error... Any help would be greatly appreciated

Re: trying to install comical....

Thanks alot. This is the new PKGBUILD I have now:

# Maintainer: Dolores Portalatin <meskarune@gmail.com>

pkgname=comical
pkgver=0.8
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="Comic book reader that opens cbr and cbz archives"
arch=('i686' 'x86_64')
url="http://comical.sourceforge.net/"
license=('GPL')
groups=()
depends=('wxgtk')
makedepends=()
source=(http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/$pkgname/$pkgname/$pkgver/$pkgname-$pkgver.tar.gz http://kambing.ui.ac.id/gentoo-portage/media-gfx/comical/files/comical-0.8-wxGTK-2.8.patch)
noextract=()
md5sums=(F5808E28FD5A2A3D21B59CDAD10ECA3D 4510063CD2ED0BA5683B6ADE771B0120)

build() {
  cd $srcdir/$pkgname-$pkgver
  patch -p1 -i $srcdir/comical-0.8-wxGTK-2.8.patch || return 1
  install -d $pkgdir/usr/local/bin/$pkgname/
  make || return 1
  cp -r $pkgdir/usr/local/bin/$pkgname/ /usr/local/bin/
  make DESTDIR=$pkgdir install || return 1
}

It downloads and installs just fine now. But I want this to automatically make a .desktop entry as well. (the installer doesn't add those things itself) How would I go about doing that? Thanks

Re: trying to install comical....

you will have to create one.

.desktop files are installed in /usr/share/applications, use an existing one and edit it.

Note : the icon mentioned in the .desktop file needs to be in a specific location to be found, /usr/share/pixmaps is one of the locations.

once you have created the .desktop file, add it to the source and md5sums arrays in PKGBUILD .
before you upload the package to AUR, check that the .desktop file is included in the tarball.
