Bug 184023 – fme-1.0.3 (new ebuild)

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Raphael Dehousse 2007-07-02 20:18:34 UTC]

Fluxbox Menu Editor (FME) is a graphical editor for the Fluxbox WM menu.
It helps user to edit his menu with drag and drop for moving lines, file chooser dialog for selecting icons and nice undo/redo functions to avoid bad acts.

I joined an ebuild

To install it, you just have to :
./configure
make
su -c make install

FME 1.0.0 ebuild (improved)

I've reorganized the original ebuild attachment, marked the keywords as unstable for now, and added src_install().

I'm testing the program on amd64 without a problem and have added it to portage through an overlay. The only problem I'm facing is that when running "make install", there is a sandbox violation as it apparently tries to write to the filesystem directly. As soon as I figure out why this is happening I'll attach a patch either for the ebuild or the package itself.

Note that by running:

FEATURES="-sandbox" emerge fme -a

the program compiles without a problem.

To know more about the sandbox and this problem in particular check this forum thread: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-613649-start-0-postdays-0-postorder-asc-highlight-.html?sid=e6070d5b367250f3fb57374c8e23cfaa

The good one

Just change to make DESTDIR=${D} install

Works for me
But I'm getting a seg fault with FME now, I'm searching why...

[Comment 5 Raphael Dehousse 2007-11-12 21:04:49 UTC]

No panic

The segfault is a bug only when fluxbox has never been run by the user attempting launch FME.

So, it works fine with the last ebuild

Thanks !

See http://fme.rhymux.info/bugtracker/?do=details&id=13 for more details about this bug

[Comment 7 movrev 2007-11-14 03:20:20 UTC]

I can confirm that the latest ebuild can install without giving a sandbox violation and is thus ready for inclusion in portage. The program is working without a flaw in the amd64 arch, so that could potentially be marked stable, after some more testing.

I wonder how we can get this in portage soon, as I'm not a developer.

Thanks for this ebuild, very good!  There were exactly 3 (very minor) issues:

1) emake needs a '|| die ...' in case it fails
2) You need to quote "${D}" in case it has spaces in it
3) You should have a 'dodoc' which installs the documentation files.

I have added these changes and put x11-misc/fme-1.0.3 into the tree.  Thanks again!
