Making a PKGBUILD for a Qt Widget

I've made a pkgbuild for qtermwidget - it works - the "example" consoleq works, but I wonder if I have to add some source files to the pkg like lib/qtermwidget.h, so the widget could be used in other Qt apps code?
pkgname=qtermwidget

"exists in filesystem" issue while making PKGBUILD for a python module

This is the package. http://packages.python.org/vcs/usage/vc … n-commands
Its already not in the AUR, so I decided of making the PKGBUILD http://sprunge.us/XVTA
Now, when I try to install it, I get this error

So, what should be done?

Added a note to the python packaging guidelines about not putting a directory named "tests" directly in "site-packages". Hope it helps avoiding this issue in the future.

Making a PKGBUILD file for EQC (A LaTeX Equation Compiler)

Hi everyone,
Just yesterday I was searching in the web for some alternative to Mathcad (a useful program to make calculations the "engineering-way"), when I found this great software developed by Jan Rheinländer, which in essence, lets you do the same as Mathcad, but using Latex (very beautiful).
So I decided to make a PKGBUILD, so other people could install it easily. The problem is, that this is my first PKGBUILD file and I have been having problems making it to work.
Here is the code I have:
# PKGBUILD for EQC: Latex Equation Compiler

pkgver=20130112
pkgrel=1

msg2 "Connecting to Sourceforge server...."
svn co $_svntrunk $_eqcsrc --config-dir ./ -r '{'$_pkgver'}'
cd $_eqcsrc
./configure

Can anyone help me a little please?
Thanks!

Making pkgbuild for keytouch

I'm trying to make a pkgbuild for keytouch
But as it's my first pkgbuild, I have some problems:
1) the docs say you need the following packages to be installed:
- GTK 2
- gksu
- X11 and Xlib
gtk2 and gksu are in pacman, but what do I have to add for X11 and Xlib?
2) running makepkg runs into an error:
mkdir /home/tom/download/PKGbuilds/keytouch/test1/pkg/usr/bin
/bin/install -c keytouchd /home/tom/download/PKGbuilds/keytouch/test1/pkg/usr/bin/keytouchd
XSESSION_KEYTOUCHD_LINE="keytouchd &";
XSESSION_DIR="/etc/X11/Xsession.d";
if [ -d $XSESSION_DIR ]; then
echo "$XSESSION_KEYTOUCHD_LINE" > $XSESSION_DIR/40keytouchd;
chmod +x $XSESSION_DIR/40keytouchd;
else
XSESSION_FILE="/etc/X11/Xsession";
if [ "`grep "$XSESSION_KEYTOUCHD_LINE" "$XSESSION_FILE" -m 1 -h`" != "$XSESSION_KEYTOUCHD_LINE" ]; then
XSESSION_TMP=`cat "$XSESSION_FILE"`;
echo "$XSESSION_KEYTOUCHD_LINE" > $XSESSION_FILE;
echo "$XSESSION_TMP" >> $XSESSION_FILE;
fi
fi
/bin/sh: /etc/X11/Xsession.d/40keytouchd: Permission denied
chmod: cannot access `/etc/X11/Xsession.d/40keytouchd': No such file or directory
make[2]: *** [install-data-local] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/tom/download/PKGbuilds/keytouch/test1/src/keytouch-2.0/keytouchd'

make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/tom/download/PKGbuilds/keytouch/test1/src/keytouch-2.0/keytouchd'
make: *** [install-recursive] Error 1
==> ERROR: Build Failed. Aborting...
It produces this error on the make install, and I thinks it's because the src/keytouch-2.0/keytouchd/Makefile.am contains the following:
install-data-local:
@$(NORMAL_INSTALL)
XSESSION_KEYTOUCHD_LINE="keytouchd &";
XSESSION_DIR="$(DESTDIR)/etc/X11/Xsession.d";
if [ -d $$XSESSION_DIR ]; then
echo "$$XSESSION_KEYTOUCHD_LINE" > $$XSESSION_DIR/40keytouchd;
chmod +x $$XSESSION_DIR/40keytouchd;
else
XSESSION_FILE="/etc/X11/Xsession";
if [ "`grep "$$XSESSION_KEYTOUCHD_LINE" "$$XSESSION_FILE" -m 1 -h`" != "$$XSESSION_KEYTOUCHD_LINE" ]; then
XSESSION_TMP=`cat "$$XSESSION_FILE"`;
echo "$$XSESSION_KEYTOUCHD_LINE" > $$XSESSION_FILE;
echo "$$XSESSION_TMP" >> $$XSESSION_FILE;
fi
fi
The make install tries to write directly to /etc/X11/Xsession, which is not allowed while make the pkg.
How do I solve this problem?
The pkgbuild so far:

So this won't work on arch. Should the file be removed from the pkg? And should it be replaced by another deamon file that does work?

Making PKGBUILD for iPhoneEthernetDriver

Someone could make the PKGBUILD for these drivers? --> http://giagio.com/wiki/moin.cgi/iPhoneEthernetDriver
Thanks

WOW, nice!!
well, i really really hope this week i will have time, if someone else won't make before i will.
OR! it might happen tonight (israel time, +2:00 GMT), depends on my "motivation mode" which is not quiet well at the moment (sleepy)
well. i had some time and i created, works just fine , finally!
First you need this PKGBUILD of usbmuxd-git (the aur is outdated)

cmake .. -DLIB_SUFFIX= -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RELEASE || return 1

make DESTDIR="$pkgdir/" install || return 1
This is the usbmuxd-git.install (save it in the same dir of the PKGBUILD of usbmuxd-git)
post_install() {
echo ">>> You should also create a 'usbmux' user that has access to USB devices on your"
echo ">>> system. Alternatively, you can pass a different username after the -U argument. (/lib/udev/rules.d/85-usbmuxd.rules)"
then install libiphone-git from the AUR (it looks dated, though i created my own PKGBUILD without noticing there's one in the AUR)
then use this PKGBUILD from the AUR of the ipheth i created: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=34953
any question you can leave in the AUR comment or via my mail.
have fun

PKGBUILD for custom kernel issue

Hi all,
Last night I was putting together a PKGBUILD for a kernel I'd like to compile that has the ck patchset, grsecurity (latest testing), and had broadcom-wl on it already so I don't have to keep reinstalling it from AUR and doing depmod each time as it keeps making me have to find an ethernet cable. I used the kerne26 Arch PKGBUILD as a base and included parts of kernel-netbook for broadcom-wl, kernel26-grsecurity, and kernel26-ck and altered name variables and links etc so it all works and all sources are downloaded. I also got the two .patch files (semaphore and something else) from the kernel-netbook tarball to build the thing with, I don't know if it would work without them.
However when I get into the build() a few patches are applied before I get messages about patches already applied or reversed, and then it says build failed because of an error, I can't tell which package is causing thins or why (it all goes by too fast, and the error says failed without reason, and the reversed patch messages are what is immediately previous to it). I have not yet gone all the way through the pkgbuild - especially towards the end, and I felt that the standard setup of init file system creation and such were ok, and if anything does need altering about it, I can deal with it once I get these first troubles solved.
Below is my pkgbuild so far. Hopefully there are people out there who can aid me with this.
Thanks,
Ben.

Thank you. I guess trying the abs method wouldn't hurt. My main issue was configuration. I've only just skimmed the PKGBUILD so I'm not aware of how it handles it. I suppose I could write my own as described in the wiki as well. Thanks again.
Edit: Further research has revealed to me that the kernel headers are merely there for when the full source tree isn't. Seeing as the full tree is present in my case, the headers are unnecessary. I may take graysky's advice though and use pacman to manage my kernel.

Help with PKGBUILD for nvidia driver cards

Hello, I'm trying to make a PKGBUILD for the new geforce beta driver for the kernel26-mm kernel, geforce-utils went just fine, but the the geforce package was more tricky, here's the PKGBUILD:
pkgname=geforce-mm
pkgver=173.08
_kernver='2.6.25-mm'
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="NVIDIA drivers for kernel26mm."
arch=(i686 x86_64)
[ "$CARCH" = "i686" ] && ARCH=x86
[ "$CARCH" = "x86_64" ] && ARCH=x86_64
url="http://www.nvidia.com/"
depends=('kernel26mm' 'geforce-utils')
install=geforce.install

Anybody have a clue?

It seems I was wrong! I found a patch on the nvidia forums which actually makes it works
I don't know if it will work for you, or how safe it is, but I guess it is worth a shot.

Thanks for that 'sberman' - because my iPhone is backed-up to my work computer (only at this stage) I have had to call our IT Department in Adleaide. (4 times this morning). The last guy managed to get the phone into 'DFU Mode' - no more recovery mode screen - (kind of 'asleep' perhaps) from my understanding of same. I am awaiting a call again from IT so they can get my computer to actually recognise my iPhone on the C Drive. This also happened to one of my colleagues in Newman (WA). She got so frustrated with the whole process that she bought another phone the next time she was in 'civilisation.' She hasn't had any problems since. (Cross fingers).
Thanks again, Sandra2474.

Why is iMessage taking my incoming emails and then not making them available for my PC to get? Why can I not send a text msg with photos when iMessage is turned off (but MMS is still on).

Apple is great!
Why is iMessage taking my incoming emails and then not making them available for my PC to get? Why can I not send a text msg with photos when iMessage is turned off (but MMS is still on).
I compose an iMessage with the destination as my email address and I attach 2 photos I want on my PC. I send them several times from my iPhone 5C but they never arrive. I look at my ipad later and realize that it's iMessage app is getting ( and swallowing) these emails. I then turn the ipad off. Still can't get the photos through because iphone is now getting them on it's iMessage. I turn off the iMessage feature and try to send photos from text msging. Phone tells me it can't send photos unless iMessage it turned on. What happened to regular MMS text messaging? I go and try to send photos as an email attachment and see that there is no option to attach from the stupid email program. I look up online to learn about the brave new world of apple attachments and send them.
Why is iMessage taking my incoming emails and then not making them available for my PC to get?
The email program on my iphone is not configured to remove messages from the server.
If iMessage is turned off I don't have the issue.
Why can I not send a text msg with photos when iMessage is turned off (but MMS is still on).

Did not work. I've selected iMessage to ON and left it. After a few hours I recieved a message "activation unsuccessful. Turn on iMessage to try again". This has been going on for the past 3 days.

I used to use the free version of Adobe Reader to convert my publisher files to pdf files. When I was making a booklet for our hockey team, it said I had to buy it. Now I bought it and it won't convert the files. I am ready to throw this computer out the window!! Can you tell me what is the problem? No it does not exceed 100 M. either.

Adobe Reader never converted Publisher files to PDF, for free, never. I suspect you use to have the (paid for) Adobe Acrobat. Sometimes people have Acrobat (more than $300 worth) and install Adobe Reader over the top, losing that valuable software.
That said, if you subscribed to PDF Pack it should do this conversion. What exactly happens now.

Dynamically making read only for a field in get_data(CL_EHHSS_INC_BINFA_UI_FRM)

Hi Experts,
I am making read only for a field based on condition in get_data method of class CL_EHHSS_INC_BINFA_UI_FRM.
But it is not working. Pls find the code for the same.
LOOP AT CT_FIELD_USAGE INTO lw_field WHERE NAME = 'OC_INC_TYPE'.
   lw_field-read_only = ABAP_TRUE.
   MODIFY ct_field_usage FROM lw_field TRANSPORTING read_only.
   ev_field_usage_changed = 'X'.
ENDLOOP.
Pls help me what is wrong in this coding.
Regards,
Reny Richard

Hi Richard,
Please check if   this loop is executing for the correct desired event(say on click or from the start ). & the field name specified is correct or not through debugging. And check by placing the parameter ev_field_usage_changed = 'X'. after the loop statement.
Below is a sample code for making the field read only.
field-SYMBOLS: <fs_field> like line of CT_FIELD_USAGE.
   loop at CT_FIELD_USAGE ASSIGNING <FS_FIELD>.
     case <FS_FIELD>-NAME.
     when 'OC_INC_TYPE'. " name of the field
         <FS_FIELD>-READ_ONLY = 'X'.                " ' ' for editable
     ENDCASE.
CV_FIELD_USAGE_CHANGED = abap_true.
Regards,
Harsha

How to search for a dashboard widget

Can someone tell me how to search the Dashboard site for a specific widget?
http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/
The ridiculous thing is, I think I asked this same question within the past year and someone answered it. But I'll be damned if I can find the search button again. It just is not intuitive. And when a friend asks me how to do something and I need to tell them I have to ask on the Apple website it's sort of embarrassing.

Type in Dashboard or widget as well as the name or description of that widget into the text field at the top right of the page. Press Enter.

Finding a PKGBUILD for the 2.6.21.4 kernel (for Asus EEE )

I'm trying to build a kernel that will support the Asus Eee's non-source drivers out of the box without ndiswrapper. I also would like to install the whole thing using my pacman. Is there any way to get a complete PKGBUILD for this kernel? If possible, I'd also like to get the associated patches, etc if possible.
I'm basing my hack on some things listed here:
http://cliffhacks.blogspot.com
I played with the CVS for awhile, but couldn't find a way to get the kernel 2.6.21.4 PKGBUILD, and I'm not sure if CVS would even do this.
After this, I'll have to compare the PKGBUILD with the config that Asus used on their kernel. We'll see how it goes. Thanks for any help or tips.

Normally PKGBUILDS for kernels are not provided in arch.
However, one has been inserted into the aur mix by raymano and it is for kernel 2.6.23.9-1.
What are you talking about - I thought the PKGBUILDs were publicly available. Atleast I can see them - and you could certainly create your own although with a little difficulty for such an early kernel - but It should be possible

Nobody get back to me on my other question, so I'm going to try again. I am making a PowerPoint for a meeting and I want to take a 3D PDF and have it spin or rotate on a continuous loop. How can I accomplish this?

Please ignore PowerPoint comment, I can make the 3D PDF no problem with my converter plug-in for AutoCAD. Once it is made though you can spin it by hand/mouse in Adobe. but I want a video like scene with the object spinning by itself for modeling purposes?

Help to create a pkgbuild for harpia

hi i want to create a pkgbuild for the harpia program http://s2i.das.ufsc.br/harpia/en/home.html
searching in the aur and in the net i couldn't find something
harpia exist for ubuntu and the .deb file is hosted here http://packages.ubuntu.com/oneiric/all/harpia
can someone help me create a working pkgbuild for arch through the .deb file
i tried to create a first approach by creating the following PKGBUILD:
pkgname=harpia
pkgver=1.1
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="Image Processing/Computer Vision Automatic Prgm. Tool"
arch=('any')
url="http://s2i.das.ufsc.br/harpia/en/home.html"
license=('GPL2')
depends=('')
source=("http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/h/harpia/${pkgname}_${pkgver}-0ubuntu1.1_all.deb")
md5sums=('56c6cb146ea5652e41b77506ad8ec263')
build() {
bsdtar -C "$pkgdir" -xvf data.tar.gz
however when i am running the program i am taking the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/harpia", line 32, in <module>
from harpia import harpiagcfrontend
ImportError: No module named harpia
i guess that the problem might have to do with some dependencies or with the python library, can you provide me with some tips
thanks

Well, I'm not going to tell you every little thing .
I found a likely candidate for python-gnome2 in pacman using a judicious choice of search terms. As for the rest, I suggest you go to the Debian or Ubuntu package lists. The Debian ones are easy to find in Google. These lists contain lots of information about what packages contain and what they provide and where the source code is from.
Do some detective work, you will figure it out.
