Hello All,

I am not able to setup the build environment on BeleniX

I get the folllowing error:
Fetching package SFEamrwb-devel ...
--05:32:14--  http://pkg.belenix.org/belenix_0.7.1/SFEamrwb-devel.pkg.7z

05:32:14 ERROR 404: Not Found.

ERROR: Failed to fetch package SFEamrwb-devel

Hitting http://pkg.belenix.org/belenix_0.7.1/ with a browser confirms
that there is indeed no "SFEamwrb-devel"

Is there anyway of skipping and going ahead with the rest of the packages?

Looks like your package catalog is out of date. Run get-pkgs to get
your catalog updated. And then run a pkg-get again.

Also, I'm performing some maintenance in the office at the moment, so
if get get a 404 or a connection timeout, then please run the pkg-get
again.

Yup, I'm getting 404's

   UGH. One more problem of manually maintaining the package lists.
   A modified pkg-get is needed fast. I have fixed this problem.

Hi all:

Given that we've not really tried IRC as a tool for discussing Belenix
directions, I propose that we all meet on IRC.

Would Monday, August 4 9:30 pm IST (See New Delhi at
http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/) be a good time ?

Also, if anyone knows of a useful site that would let us plan meets
across timezones, do let the list know.

Hello ,

I am trying to build gcc4 on my 0.7.1 ( plan to build qt4 using it)

can someone please help me out with the problem

   Did you set these in the spec file or outside in the environment ?

   Well from log file it is cleat that CC and CPP are being reset:

pkgbuild: + CPP='cc -E -Xs'
pkgbuild: + export CC=
pkgbuild: + CC=

   This is inside the SPEC file.

Message-ID: <b4dbee910808080444hf09d5e9s45609bcb58d41cd9@mail.gmail.com>

http://osnews.com/story/20160/Qt_Port_of_Mozilla_and_Firefox_3

This is interesting stuff.  I will try and build this on belenix tonight.

If I do succeed, we could have a look at making this the FF build for belenix
Reasons
- FF3 now uses GTK. A user would typically launch firefox after
installing belenix and just for one application the entire gtk stuff
has to be loaded which makes it slow and more resource-hungry
- Better integration: FF3 does not look well-integrated into BeleniX,
it stands out
- BeleniX is known for using bleeding edge software :)

   BeleniX uses the Gtk-QT engine so this point is moot. But it will be
   interesting to have a QT port of FF3 nevertheless. My gut feeling is
   that it will be sleeker and faster.

I differ with you on that Moinak :)
Two points
1) the Gtk-Qt engine is called only to render the widgets. Each time a
GTK widget has to be rendered, it issues a call to the qt engine to
draw it. Internally, GTK is still getting loaded and the non-gui
components used.
2) Even with the Gtk-Qt engine, FF3 does not look very good. It looks
out of place. FF2 however, looks better integrated into a KDE desktop.

As always, I am glad if my understanding of the situation is proven wrong :)

Regards,
Manish

   Whatever be the details a QT port of FF3 will be of interest. QT is
a far better
   toolkit than Gtk+ and should result in a significantly better FF3 experience.

I *have* to say that this is trivial at the moment and we really
*should* be working on the greater problems at hand !
Can we please focus more on KDE4.1 building cleanly and all the more
bugs striped out on the solaris platform..

My two cent,
Edward.

Moinak,
There is a problem with the command line options as I see it.
If i replace CC which the full path and  give the same command line
options, I get this:
manish at beleniX-KDE4:~/builds/belenix/trunk/spec_files$ /usr/sfw/bin/gcc -E -Xs
gcc: unrecognized option `-Xs'
gcc: no input files

Thus  we need to remove the -Xs option from the command line. (for gcc atleast )

Can you please help me out with the binutils + gcc ccompilation? I am
struggling to get it through.

Thanks ,
Manish

   The error message is clear. You need to omit the -Xs option when
using GCC. It is
   a SUN Studio specirfic option.

Just wanted to confirm that.
So should i make the changes in the spec file itself? and should I
submit the changes as a patch to this mailing list?

Thanks

   Yes the SPEC file has to be fixed. You can post the patch on this list.
   Actually the SPEC has to be made to work with both Gcc and Studio.
   But post the patch and then we can discuss further changes.
