[opensuse] has anybody installed AWN svn on his openSUSE?
after going through the installation instruction described at this link: http://awn.wetpaint.com/page/SVN+Version+Installation multiple times and with all the built-in dependency hell, i end up with this error:

i was about to give up until i came across this comment by a former openSUSE linux-noob: "oh sorry I switched to Ubuntu and now Compiz Fusion (after a lot of trouble I compiled it with a shell script I found and now it runs), Emerald and awn are running -- really great, thanks for such a great work :-)" which is quite depressing, can somebody can help? i might add it to the wiki if requested -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

It says loud and clearly that it is missing libgtk-X11-2.0.la, so you have to install that first. (Use pin/webpin to find out which package contains that library.) Then try again. Did you run the ./configure script BTW? Most of the time it catches this kind of error.

that's why i installed gtk2-devel, but the problem persists.

i did, and it went error free, read my former message. anyway, i just found some blogger who uses openSUSE 10.2 and have installed it successfully, i'll check it out and come back to you! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
i think i found out what the problem is, after a small search on webpin, it turned out that the current libtool package is not compatible with gtk2-devel-2.10.11 in the GNOME:STABLE repo, because it stores the lib files in /usr/lib/ instead of 10.2's default /opt/gnome/lib. i was able to fix the missing "libgtk-x11-2.0.la" dependency problem by downgrading to gtk2-devel-2.10.6 (which is compatible) although i knew it'll probably screw up my gdm again once i restart, but that didn't fix the problem as it seems that all the upgraded packages from GNOME:STABLE did the same thing. i thought i'd get the factory libtool package, but this one is dependent on an even newer version of gtk2, which, as suspected, screwed up my gdm (AGAIN!) ok, here's what has to be done, either someone makes a compatible version of libtool for GNOME:STABLE, or make ALL gtk2 packages in this repo store their libs back into opt/gnome/. however i found this howto for AWN on openSUSE http://www.michaeldolan.com/581 it should work if it wasn't for the problem i just explained - anybody who is not using GNOME:STABLE will do fine, just remember that the svn source has changed and you'll have grab it with bazar now instead of svn. go to the official site for more information. good luck =) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Use pin or webpin to search for the file. You fail to mention which version of openSUSE you have installed and on which architecture you're running it, but for FACTORY libgtk-x11-2.0.la is contained in gtk2-devel.

Better still: use the page: http://awn.wetpaint.com/page/SuSE+RPM+Specfile?t=anon (which BTW was the *first* hit with the google search "awn suse") to get exact instructions how to build an rpm package from this particular tarball.

It *is* very easy: - Copy the awn tarball and the specfile from that web page to /usr/src/packages/SOURCES - Change to that directory and call 'rpmbuild -ba'. This will build both the binary and the source rpm and will place the resulting binary package somewhere below /usr/src/packages/RPMS/ and the .src.rpm in /usr/src/packages/SRPMS. That way you get a rpm package compiled specifically for your system that, when installed, is registered with the system and easily removable.

Actually the dependency problems are rather small. I took a spec for Fedora 6 and could use that with small changes. But something else is broken in the source that I have to research. I'll report when I have a working package. Maybe Pascal (aka GURU) will take on from there.

That's not correct. I looked at http://awn.wetpaint.com/page/SVN+Fedora+Core+6 and took the necessary packages from the yum call, removing packages not needed as they're automatically installed when using the build script. These are the resulting BuildRequires for awn: BuildRequires: intltool libwnck-devel gnome-desktop-devel BuildRequires: libgnome-devel gnome-vfs2-devel dbus-1-glib-devel BuildRequires: gnome-common I'll post the .spec once I have a working one.

My last hurdle are the .desktop files for awn and awn-settings where I need to come up with a category listing our build system groks (I know next to nothing about .desktop files). But that means that the package itself builds so it shouldn't take long until I have it all in place.

ah, forget about it if it's too much work, after all it's just a toy. the project is moving very fast anyway, and a non-svn will probably be available in a matter of weeks.

Yes, it's finished! The .desktop files aren't in their final state, but as long as there are no really matching XDG categoriess, they'll have to do. You'll see that I added a number of patches and some of them I'll send upstreams. After the next sync you'll find the .src.rpm and .x86_64.rpm packages below /pub/people/pth/FACTORY on ftp.suse.com and it's mirrors. Feedback is appreciated.

Nah, I remembered there's this thing called buildservice :) The packages (I split them into avant-window-navigator, libawn and libawn-devel) are available in the home:psmt repo http://build.opensuse.org/project/show?project=home%3Apsmt Have fun Philipp -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Which is only accessible if you have a buildservice account.
