Compile batch for XFCE

Slesa · 2013-12-22 17:43:54

Hi,

Xfce 4.10
Distri Xubuntu 13.10

I am currently trying to compile parts of XFCE. As lazy as I am, I typed everything twice. One to see that it doesn't work, second time to have a batch. Maybe I should add the commands to install necessary packages...

#!/bin/bash

export XFCE_BRANCH="master"
#export XFCE_BRANCH="xfce-4.10"
export PATH=$XFCE_PATH/bin:$PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$XFCE_PATH/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

Looking forward to see you develop this script as it would sure make compilation easier. As an enhancement request, can you script in the ability to clone/pull and build plugins as well? They sit in a different directory ("plugins" instead of "xfce").

Slesa · 2013-12-23 21:22:40

Oh, thank you for that hint. The reason why I'm writing that script is to see if I can change the IBus plugin - but did not find it yet ;-)

Slesa · 2013-12-23 22:48:19

New version:
- installs all missing dependencies on the fly (as far as I know them)
- supports now apps and plugins

Slesa · 2013-12-24 14:37:10

Update:
- added xfce-art
- added the possibility to not build modules

Packages marked with ## do not build on my system. So far, I found the following problems:
- xfce4-docs:
cp xfhelp4.desktop.in xfhelp4.desktop
- apps/xfce4-taskmanager:
doc/Makefile, install: line missing
- plugins/xfce4-indicator-plugin
libxfce4panel2 not found
- plugins/xfce4-mailwatch-plugin
libgcrypt conditional does not work
- plugins/xfce4-eyes-plugin
ltmain.sh missing
cp xfce4-indicator-plugin/ltmain.sh xfce4-eyes-plugin/
- plugin/xfce4-cpufreq-plugin
mkdir xfce4-cpufreq-plugin/m4
- plugin/xfce4-taskbar-plugin
no autogen.sh

...I think this package has been deprecated. There hasn't been any real activity for over 2 years and all Xfce documentation has been moved to the wiki. From within the apps, all(?) help links lead directly to the wiki.

- apps/xfce4-taskmanager:
doc/Makefile, install: line missing

...Also doesn't seem to be much activity here for some time. I wonder if its been deprecated as well.

- plugins/xfce4-indicator-plugin

...you need to build libxfce4util with the "--enable-gtk3" parameter to make it available. I believe this parameter also makes parole build.

- plugins/xfce4-mailwatch-plugin
libgcrypt conditional does not work

...it's a warning that doesn't affect the build. Plugin builds and works fine.

- plugins/xfce4-eyes-plugin
ltmain.sh missing
cp xfce4-indicator-plugin/ltmain.sh xfce4-eyes-plugin/

...Yes, same here. Might be worth creating a bug report for.

- plugin/xfce4-cpufreq-plugin
mkdir xfce4-cpufreq-plugin/m4

...maybe another bug report.

- plugin/xfce4-taskbar-plugin
no autogen.sh

...README file has different build instructions.

Either it should be moved to archive, or the missing file should be added. But to have a package which does not compile is not really an option, is it?

Well, it is the taskmanager. May I can have a look at the open issues. Maybe start with the one-instance-only thing.

Good point. I am wondering wht gtk3 is not the default... And it is hard to get hints for such optional parameters...

No, it is an error. because of

configure.ac:93: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_PATH_LIBGCRYPT

Bug report initiated.

ToZ wrote:

- plugin/xfce4-cpufreq-plugin: m4

Update: Bug fixed.

ToZ wrote:

Right now I only support autogen.sh. Thunar-desktop-plugin has the same problem. IMHO all XFCE modules should rely on the same behaviours.

Edit: Parole does not build because of dependencies I cannot resolve: libgstreamer-video.

Update: added a few modules, apps, plugins and their dependencies.

Slesa · 2013-12-25 15:14:45

Update:
- added support for alpha versions which are deployed as source code.
- added sfdashboard as such an addon
