Bug 280744 – [kde-testing] ebuild for kdebindings-ruby (kde 4)

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description Stefano Crocco 2009-08-08 13:32:54 UTC]

I wrote an ebuild for the kde 4 ruby bindings (korundum4). Currently, it only works for the live version, since the one I use. I'm installing kde 4.3 on another computer and, when it finishes, I'll be able to modify it for kde 4.3 (it will take some days however, as it's an old computer).

The ebuild I wrote builds the bindings for both ruby 1.8 and ruby 1.9. The user can choose which one(s) he wants with two use flags. To provide this feature, however, I had to significantly tweak the build system (there are comments on what I did inside the ebuild). Originally, I thought to write two different ebuilds for ruby 1.8 and ruby 1.9, but then I saw that there were a number of files which were in common between the two and had to change my mind.

Reproducible: Always

Custom cmake module needed by my ebuild

This cmake module is used in the ebuild I wrote to gather data about both ruby 1.8 and ruby 1.9. The one normally used by the kdebindings build system, which is included in KDE only uses the version of ruby corresponding to the ruby executable

patch needed to build the nepomuk bindings

Without this patch, some libraries needed to build the nepomuk bindings aren't passed to the linker

a small fix to the original ebuild

Sorry, the ebuild I originally submitted had a small problem. This one fixes it.

By the way, if it is not clear (it's the first time I submit an ebuild so I'm a bit unsure on how to proceed), the FindRUBIES.cmake file should be put in the files subdirectory of the directory where the ebuild is.

ebuild for kde 4.3

As I promised, here's an ebuild for kde 4.3. It's almost the same as the live ebuild I already posted, but it requires an additional patch to have the nepomuk bindings build with ruby 1.9

patch to make the nepomuk bindings compile with ruby 1.9

The issue fixed by this patch has already been fixed in kdebindings trunk, so this patch is only needed for the 4.3 ebuild

Great stuff. I've just tried it and it works like a charm. I had to fix bug 285073 though. Thanks!

When will this be included in the official repository?

Sorry, I did not notice your work when starting with kdebindings-ruby. 

It's in the tree now (for 4.4.0), so I'll mark this bug as resolved. 

The in-tree version provides support for multiple ruby implementations (via the ruby-ng eclass, which does similar tricks as you do manually), but I've only tested everything so far for ruby18. 

I'll go through your code and see what we can use.

I cannot build this, see bug 306067.
