[gentoo-dev] various ebuild problems

[Jon Nelson]

I've been having some trouble lately.
Until now, things have been pretty stable.
However, I can't build galeon 0.12.5-r1, and I've been having some odd
problems
with emerge/ebuild.
First, galeon: It dies during the configure stage:

....
checking for GNOME - version >= 1.2.8... ./configure: test: 1.2: integer

checking for additional GNOME modules...  gdk_pixbuf vfs libglade gnome

Hi

0.12.5-r1 was supposed to fix the applets problem, guess we will have to
either update the DEPEND or add a --disable-applet.

Now, please note that Galeon is a _GNOME_ browser.  As stated in the
docs, it was intended as this, and will stay a gnome browser.  So you
need Gnome for it to work.

If you want something similar, try Skipstone, which is a GTK+ only 
browser, and do not depend on Gnome.

Actually, the problem came from you adding --enable-applet :)
I removed it since even if Galeon is a GNOME-browser many people run it
without running the actual panel.

IMHO Skipstone is a real waste of efforts (anything that are developing
GTK+-only for the reason that they don't want to depend on GNOME are).

Actually, if Skipstone was more stable, I'd use it.  I hate having to run
gnome in the background just to get a stupid web browser.  I can't stand
galeon for that reason even tho I'm very enamoured with it's features.

Gah!

You don't have to _RUN_ anything in the background. You link to
gnome-libs just as you link against libc or any other lib. Galeon uses
ORBit (which is an ORB, it isn't GNOME) just as any other package using
CORBA would use an ORB.

Saying that a package is bloated and such things just because it uses
gnome-libs (or kde-libs or any other library) is just pure crap. It's
many times the otherway around since the libraries are tested and
probably more optimized than the app-writers own implementation.

So... you don't have to run "GNOME" (ie. gnome-session/gnome-panel) in
the background, you just have to link against the libraries.

Ok, that's not how it was explained to me.

I never said it was bloated, I said I didn't want gnome running.  I was
under the impression that gnome apps require pieces of gnome to be running.
Much like konqueror, which actually starts kde, but doesn't bring up the
window manager functions.

Well, if I could actually emerge galeon, I'd check.  I guess I'll try and
figure out why galeon thinks I don't have Gnome ver >=1.2.8 installed.

Sorry, this wasn't meant against you, I just get upset by people saying
that using a lib is bloat (which you didn't and I overreacted).

Hmm, I looked at galeon-0.12.5-r1.ebuild log this morning, and it is at
version 1.1 with comment about the applet.  And since Jon tried to merge
0.12.5-r1, and the --enable-applet was already removed, im guessing that
maybe 0.12.5 want to build the applet by default.

Further, if you look at the output, he have neighter
gnome-core/gnome-libs, gdk-pixbuf, etc installed.
So the main problem if you ask me, was not the applet, but it was rather
just the last straw.

To conclude, he needs to have gnome, gdk-pixbuf, etc merged, which he
did not.  Thus it did fail, and since the applet checking was the last
check, it stopped at this.  So Gnome and Co is the problem, rather then
applet.

On another note:  how could he merge it without portage merging the
required Gnome libs ?  Did he edit the ebuild and take the DEPEND's out
and that the reason in the first place ?

When *I* tried to merge, the --enable-applet had not been removed yet.
(This further illustrates the problem of one-file, multiple-revisions)

Actually, I do.  I know for a fact that gnome-core and gnome-libs are
merged, and IIRC, gdk-pixbuf and libglade are as well.
However, not being at or near my machine, I can't tell you with
100% certainty what is and ins't installed.  Either way, isn't that
what the DEPENDS and RDEPENDS are for?  As far as portage was 
concerned, all of its requirements were met at the time.

Nope. See above. ;-)

However, galeon can be compile with somewhat less GNOME support
without the --with-gnome.  (Not sure about the
--enable-gnome-file-selector)

Specifically, as of 9:45 PM (CST), the galeon-0.12.5-r1.ebuild does not
build
on my machine. It gives no portage-related errors.

If I apply the following patch, disabling *some* of the gnome support,
it works and compiles and builds just fine.

Let me ask this: If the purpose of the USE variable is to define what we
do and don't want (gnome, gtk, kde, etc...) and a program can be
compile with or without explicit support for something, shouldn't
the ebuild for that package honor the USE variable?

Incidentally, I think the reason it wasn't working for me is that bonobo
has
not been merged.  I'm building it now (and will emerge when done) to
see if this makes a difference (with 'gnome' in my USE variables, too).

The purpose of USE variables is to define *what _optional_ build-time
functionality* you want enabled/disabled.  Hope that helps.

That is exactly my point.  This instance is a perfect example.
I do not have gnome in my USE variables. However, the current
ebuild for galeon assumes I do, although it can be built without
--with-gnome.

Put another way,  "gnome" in my USE variables should imply
"--with-gnome" in the configure script, and no "gnome" in my USE
variables ought to imply that "--with-gnome" is *not* in the configure,
if the program can be built that way, of course, which galeon can.

Hi!

Hmm.. from what I can see in the configure-script there are no flag
--with-gnome _AND_ GNOME is not optional when using Galeon. It's a
GNOME-browser. Also, the --with-gnome has often been confusing to people
since it's not whether to build with gnome-support, it's to tell _where_
GNOME is installed. --with-gnome=prefix...

However, I think what's causing the problem here is the
--enable-gnome-file-selector. Because when that is added Galeon should
also depend on bonobo (which you might not have installed).

About your patch, it doesn't seem to be doing what you want it too. It
disables the --enable-gnome-file-selector for people who don't have
gnome in there USE-variable but it doesn't fix the deps-problem (which
in this case is bonobo), so any person who tries to merge galeon with
gnome in the USE and not having Bonobo installed will have the same
problems.

--enable-gnome-file-selector refers to the GNOME_FileSelector
Bonobo-component which we don't have in portage so the switch is
pointless.

I've removed the two pointless (one of which doesn't seem to exist) in
-r3.

As stated above, no :)

And in the case of Galeon there is no way to avoid getting all the
gnome-libs installed since it's a GNOME-browser making heavy use of the
GNOME platform. If we in the future get the bonobo file browser in
Portage it should be using the "bonobo" USE-flag, not the GNOME one.

Aha!  I suspected that but by then it was past my bedtime.
I'm trying your -r3 now, and will let you know how it goes tonight.

Hi

Thanks.

Side note:  I guess it will learn us gnomies not to assume that only
people who use gnome, will use gnome apps.
