this is my first post, so let me introduce myself. My name is Michele Calgaro (Michael if it easier for you) and I discovered TDE only very recently.
I have set myself the task to contribute to TDE's
development in my spare time (among one thousand other things to do :-) ), at least a little.
I am trying to compile everything on my laptop (running Debian testing) using the scripts in the tde-packaging repository.
Everything is ok until I get to tdelibs. When I try to compile tdelibs, I get 2 unmet dependencies I can not solve. They are:
- libr-dev
- gettext-kde
dpkg-checkbuilddeps: Unmet build dependencies: gettext-kde libr-dev
I have checked the Debian package archives and there are no such packages in any distribution (stable, testing, sid, experimental, not even lenny).
I have managed to track down a possible gettext-kde package for ubuntu at "https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gettext-kde/0.10.35-0ubuntu2" but obviously wonder if the version is applicable or not.
But no luck at all for libr-dev. No matter how much I searched the internet, I couldn't find anything about it except for some links to TDE debian/control files commits.
I also tried to remove such dependencies from the debian/control file and compile nevertheless, but as I expected the build fails since it can't find
libr
- checking for one of the modules 'libr'
CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:751 (message):
elficon support was requested, but libr was not found on your system
-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!
You are obviously compiling tdelibs without problems, so what am I doing wrong? Or better, where can I find those missing packages?
Also, since those packages are not part of debian and apparently ubuntu, IMO it would be worth considering importing such packages in the TDE git repository if possible (and if
I am not missing something else here)
Thanks and looking forward to help the TDE team if I can.
Bet regards
Michele
