Created attachment 16666 [details, diff] makefile patch for the qt library path
Hi, Thanks for doing this. What's the process for getting it into the mainstream emerge flow? I'm just a user. don't really know how to use the files you've put here. So, when will this be available? (I'm going to try to figure out how to use your work though.) thanks, Mark
Hi, I got kaconnect installed using your ebuild. It seems to work, as far as I can test right now. I'm actually remotely logged into the machine via ssh I installed it on, and I'm getting an error message in my xterm that says: libGL error: XF86DRIAuthConnection failed then ALSA Sequencer successfully opened and then the GUI comes up. I'll test locally later to make sure this isn't some strange ssh problem. thanks for doing this! Cheers, Mark
Hi - did my checking locally. Everything is working fine. Thanks for doing this.
well, you obviously figured out how to use the files but just in case: #mkdir -p $PORTDIR_OVERLAY/media-sound/kaconnect ( check your /etc/make.conf for the exact $PORTDIR_OVERLAY. this is _not_ environmental variable the way $PATH is, for example! if it's not defined you have to do it. otherwise the next emerge sync will wipe out all of your changes) #cp kaconnect-1.1.1.ebuild $PORTDIR_OVERLAY/media-sound/kaconnect #cd $PORTDIR_OVERLAY/media-sound/kaconnect #ebuild kaconnect-1.1.1.ebuild fetch #ebuild kaconnect-1.1.1.ebuild digest #cp makefile_kaconnect $PORTDIR_OVERLAY/media-sound/kaconnect/files #emerge kaconnect Each new ebuild, I think, is assigned to a maintainer @gentoo. who checks it (when he finds the time), and if things seem to be alright merges it in the portage tree as masked ebuild. after the ebuild proves stability (no bug reports etc.) it will be unmasked by the maintainer. Cheers, Rossen
I'll take a look at kaconnect and its sister packages.
kaconnect is in portage.
