[review-request] K3B - Windows/MinGW

2009-12-22T18:03:28Z

Hi,

Please find attached the proposed patch for K3B compiling on MinGW.

My comments:

...

+else(NOT WIN32)

+ target_link_libraries(k3b uuid ole32)

...

without linking to these libraries I got several linking errors such as:

C:/Users/Andrius/Desktop/kdetest/jr/k3b/libk3b/tools/qprocess/private/qfsfileengine_win.cpp:1457: undefined reference to `CoCreateInstance@20'

+set_target_properties(k3b PROPERTIES OUTPUT_NAME k3blib)

libk3b.dll.a was being generated twice, causing errors:

Linking CXX shared library ..\bin\libk3b.dll

Creating library file: ..\bin\libk3b.dll.a

[ 46%] Built target k3b

[ 46%] Built target k3b_bin_automoc

Linking CXX executable ..\bin\k3b.exe

Creating library file: ..\bin\libk3b.dll.a

C:\MinGW\Bin/ld.exe: final link failed: File truncated

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

mingw32-make[2]: *** [bin/k3b.exe] Error 1

mingw32-make[1]: *** [src/CMakeFiles/k3b_bin.dir/all] Error 2

mingw32-make: *** [all] Error 2

-inline void *dlsym(void *a, char *b)

+inline void *dlsym(void *a, const char *b)

conversions between char* and const char* were failing on MinGW, also the linux manpages defines the second parameter of dlsym as const char*

Could you please confirm if this does not hurt MSVC or linux?

obs.: K3B halts on initialization using 4.3.4 kdelibs, but works normally using latest svn of kdelibs.

Thanks,

Andrius da Costa Ribas.

FindQt4.cmake synced with the version from cmake

2009-12-20T08:23:35Z

Hi,

our FindQt4.cmake in kdelibs/cmake/modules/ is now basically synced with the
version from current cmake.
The big change today was to merge the way how the libraries are found from the
cmake-version into ours.
I tested it here on my linux box and didn't notice any problems.

Please give it a good try, especially on Windows and OSX, and let me know if
there are problems (should be mostly that libraries are not found).

Alex

RProgrammer, yours is a distribution bug (so you should ask to the support of
your distro), while this is a Windows-specific issue.

It's happening also with mingw, after updating kde to 4.3.4. ( in home machine
this does not happen, in work machine it's the first time I install kde in a
non-'c:' drive, but it is not happening only with kate, but several other apps
such as konqueror, etc.. )

same behaviour, kdeinit fails but apps work normally after that, work machine
is also windows XP, but 32 bits ( home machine is vista )

kde 4.3.4 release - parley is not able to save files

2009-12-15T12:09:44Z

Hi,

in kde 4.3.4 release i recognized a bug with parley from the kdeedu
package. If I create a new lession and choose the "save" menu option a
save to dialog pops up.
Unfortunally the entered path is not taken for saving. Instead a
message box complaining about a save error with a complete unrelated
path is displayed.

dbgview did not give any hint for this issue.

Regards
Ralf

Hi,

I would like to see kile from extragear being updated to 2.1beta3. The current
unstable version in the installer is more than a year old and quite buggy.

Thanks,

Konqueror in 4.3.4 loads with the following error.
"There was an error loading the module KHTML. The diagnostics is The shared library was not found."

Instead of a web page appearing for a website , the underlying html code appears. Please advise

Hi all,

I am just giving you a short note that KDE 4.3.4 has been uploaded now.

It is based on the latest release of Qt 4.6.0; This also means that some
packages from the earlier 4.3.3 release might break (due to a packaging
error in the 4.3.3 release).
It includes a package of the koffice suite in version 2.1.0, a new
konversation package in version 1.2.1, a ktorrent package in version 3.3.1.

If you'd like to see other packages with recent releases (from extragear
etc.), just give us a hint here.

I will add the digikam 1.0.0 release next week.

The stuff is greyed out because you already have a KDE installation in
place. "Uninstalling" is simple, simply remove the directory. (You
cannot mix the compiler types after you have chosen one of them, thats
why it is greyed out).

This is the second point: the mingw build (based on the mingw-gcc 3.4.5
release) has been discontinued and will not be updated anymore (probably
thats why you haven't found any packages). We recommend updating to
mingw4 or msvc packages.
Please be aware that mixing the compilers might get you into trouble.
Make sure that you don't do that.

kde sc 4.3.4 not showing up

2009-12-08T18:39:47Z

Hi, I just subscribed to this list and I have a question. I am trying
to try out the latest version and I had a previous version already
installed, probably 4.0.

I attempted to use the old installer to remove the packages
individually. I then downloaded the latest installer and tried to
reinstall from the beginning. The compiler settings were greyed out so
I must have missed something. I left it as mingw and attempted to
install but the kde packages are all version 4.1. I installed anyway
but fear I may have to reinstall everything.

I was able to get the latest KOffice (2.1) and KWord seems to be
working well! Any ideas? I checked mirrors from all over but did not
try any nightly builds.

Thanks,
Steve

KDE, and especially on Windows, here is a small junior job that needs to
be done until KDE 4.4:

In kdegames and kdeedu some new applications have been added:
These are cantor and rocs in kdeedu and palapeli, granatier and kigo in
kdegames. These all require an application icon which is the icon that
is shown in the Windows Explorer and the application menu.

To get a new icon into an application you need to follow these steps:
1) Find out where the icon of the application is by searching in the
sources (often they are somewhere within the application sources in a
data/ or images/ subdirectory) or by asking on IRC/mailing lists. The
icon names are of the form hiXX-app-APPLICATIONNAME.png.

2) Get the module compiling; This is basically a pre-requisite you
should start with. Required is a build of the svn trunk version of the
two modules.

3) If you have done points 1) and 2) you need to find the CMakeLists.txt
file where the application is build, as an example, for granatier this
is kdegames/granatier/src/CMakeLists.txt
(http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/KDE/kdegames/granatier/src/CMakeLists.txt?view=markup).

Above the line where kde4_add_executable(granatier ${granatier_SRCS}) is
called you have to add a line containing
kde4_add_app_icon(granatier_SRCS
"${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/hi*-app-granatier.png"). The string part
contains the path to the icon images you have found in step 1), use
${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR} to replace the path to the CMakeLists.txt
file. The asterisk is replaced by kde4_add_app_icon with the size of the
images (one of 16, 32, 48, 64, 128, 256).

If you can build the executables then and they do contain application
icons, make an svn patch and append it either to the bug report, send it
to the kde-windows list or the specific list of the application.

Documentation:
Some documentation you might need:
The cmake documentation:
http://cmake.org/cmake/help/cmake-2-8-docs.html

The kde4macros.cmake file which defines kde4_add_app_icons:

What to do next:
After you have fixed some of the bugs, it might also be interesting in
trying out one of the applications. Most of them contain some minor
errors you can try to track down. Most application developers can help
you with that, it also makes sense to search for yourself a bit in the
beginning.
In case of other questions, you can also ask on this list of course.

regards,
Patrick

p.s.: I will add some junior job bug reports in an hour or so.

If "stock Qt binary setup" means the Qt binaries you can download from
Trolltech, you are wrong. KDE on Windows requires DBUS, which is not
available in the stock Qt binaries. You need to use the KDE on Windows
version.

I think you misunderstood me. I don't mean using the stock Qt to build KDE, I mean using the phonon sources from the KDE trunk to build a up-to-date phonon to be used on pure Qt applications, using the Qt binaries from Trolltech/Nokia.

If you could drop us an email at kde-promo@... each time you know when
your next release is coming out then we can do one of the following:

- In the main SC release announcement/dot article either state that Windows
builds are also released or are expected within [insert timeframe]
- If there will be a longer delay (maybe for a major release?) we can perhaps
put out a short dot article when the release is made - this one probably more
for the major releases...

Same would apply to Mac builds of course (in case anyone on this list is
involved with those?)

Cheers,
Stu

If "stock Qt binary setup" means the Qt binaries you can download from
Trolltech, you are wrong. KDE on Windows requires DBUS, which is not
available in the stock Qt binaries. You need to use the KDE on Windows
version.

Furthermore, there used to be some applications in KDE which used GLib
libraries and if you wanted the features provided by those libraries,
you needed Qt to be built with the GLib loop because they were not
running they glib loop in a different thread, or querying it. IIRC
Amarok used to need the glib event loop for the MTP library.

You could also compile Qt on Windows to use the GLib loop, as it does
on Unix. That's the approach I took when I did my own port of
Phonon-GStreamer to Windows back in April or so. I talked about that
with someone from Trolltech (Jens Bache? can't remember) at aKademy
2009 but forgot to send him the patch :-/

Wouldn't that be overkill just for gstreamer?

Furthermore, leaving the gstreamer patches inside phonon would normally allow a KDE svn compiled phonon to work on a stock Qt binary setup as well (which honestly is my primary goal).

kdelibs build

2009-11-30T01:52:19Z

Guys,
During the recent koffice sprint I've been supporting devs willing to
know more about kde on windows; Lukas Tvrdy, Krita developer, has
decided to try krita on windows development as I advertised better
debugging capatibilities with msvc 9. he of ocurse was impressed,
what's in large part thanks to your effort!

What went not quite smooth:

1. 4.5.x Qt build stopped in one place with error (qtscript - mkspecs
not found); executing emerge kdelibs again made qt build properly.
2. kdelibs script defaults to trunk; is that our policy? if so, there
is small build error in the knewstuff lib.

That's all so far, he stopped the build waiting for answers on how to
fix the build and continue. I am just asking - maybe you know the
solution. TIA.

You could also compile Qt on Windows to use the GLib loop, as it does
on Unix. That's the approach I took when I did my own port of
Phonon-GStreamer to Windows back in April or so. I talked about that
with someone from Trolltech (Jens Bache? can't remember) at aKademy
2009 but forgot to send him the patch :-/

regards,
Patrick

The patch vs. kdesupport phonon is available at http://gitorious.org/mythq/mythq/blobs/master/contrib/phonon_gstreamer_kde_windows.patch

I'm using MinGW 4.4.0 to compile (from the latest Qt 4.6.0-rc SDK).

The cmake command I used to build is:
cmake.exe -G "MinGW Makefiles" -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX="C:\kde\kde-mingw4-stable" -DCMAKE_INCLUDE_PATH=c:\gstreamer\include -DCMAKE_LIBRARY_PATH=c:\gstreamer\lib;c:\gstreamer\bin

I installed bothe the binary and dev (for building) packages from http://www.gstreamer-winbuild.ylatuya.es/doku.php
I guess the dev package is not needed at runtime.

Obviously, you have to add the gstreamer bin directory to the PATH.

Tell me if you encounter problems.

It works pretty well with Amarok by me. There is a slight delay before playback start due to the way I patched the backend.
The gstreamer backend as it is relies on the GLib main loop to dispatch messages to the backend. There is no default GLip loop on Windows so I instead poll the gstreamer bus to get messages.
I set the timer timeout to 100ms. Problem is that at the start of the playback, there is a bunch of messages, and I only get 1 every 100ms. OTOH, decreasing the timeout would accelerate the start, but the it would also unnecessarily rapidly poll the bus during playback, when no messages are coming in.

I guess the proper way would be to run a GLib loop in the backend process, but I have no experience of GLib.
