The Testing Area :: April extensions

Quote (Juanito @ April 16 2008,10:50)

I guess the issue in question is how I made ../include in the compile-3.3.5 extension. Apart from the headers coming from the various apps, I did:

I think the issue lies with the compiler setup, preprocessor, etc. since the .../include dir works fine in other locations.

Is there a reason for the libpng related files in /tmp? (in user.tar.gz)

Also, the updated .info is messed up again (from a conversion to plain ascii?)

- from the info file:

Since dsl has three versions of libpng a choice needs to be made as to which versions of headers/pkgconfig to use. Links have been placed in /tmp that point to the most recent version of libpng - modify these links if you wish to compile based on an older version of png.

- sorry, I checked it in dsl before I submitted and it looked OK...

Thanks to Juanito for updated and much smaller:
gimp-2.4.uci
gtk+-2.10.uci

Ping: Juanito:

1. md5sum fails for me with cairo-1.2.uci

2. gtk+-2.10.uci - Since it depends on the cairo uci, perhaps when you rebuild gtk2 you could include cairo if you still have the cairo sources? One extension load is better than two for me. This may not suit you though.

Thanks.

- I downloaded cairo-1.2 and the md5 file from mydsl/testing and got this:

Code Sample

$ cd /mnt/sda1/tmp
$ md5sum -cv cairo-1.2.uci.md5
cairo-1.2.uci OK

- I tend to agree, but I had a couple of reasons:

1. I needed to stop at some kind of "way point" in compiling the whole chain of dependencies leading up to gimp-2.4 since the 1GB ram on my laptop is not enough to do it in one go...
2. I had a couple of projects (conky-2 ?) that needed cairo but not gtk+

It sounds like Jason is working on updated versions of cairo/gtk+ in one extension, but in the meantime at least both extensions have the headers and pc files

..speaking of which, with newer apps it seems setting PKG_CONFIG_PATH works at least as well, if not better, than pointing to the libs/headers manually. There are still some exceptions though - gimp-2.4 picked up all of the dependencies using pkgconfig except lcms, even though lcms.pc was there...
