After reading July's Linux Journal, I put together and ebuild for Quadkonsole which is mentioned in an article. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
Created attachment 60530 [details] Quadkonsole Ebuild
The .desktop file included is useless for us, I've changed the ebuild to install a .desktop file with make_desktop_entry. A part from that, it seems to work on amd64. If nobody disagrees I can take care of this.
I would like to see the changes you are recommending. I am always willing to learn something new about an ebuild.
Created attachment 60588 [details] Ebuild with new .desktop Here it is. Always good having users who cares about ebuilds :)
This ebuild does not work with 3.4.1 which is the stable version now. It tries to find kdelibs-2.0 and does not find any ebuilds for that. After removing need-kde 3.2 I get the following error in configure: checking for KDE... configure: error: in the prefix, you've chosen, are no KDE headers installed. This will fail. So, check this please and use another prefix! I will try to find out how to correct this and get this working with 3.4.1.
Also the homepage does not work and the description would be better as follows: DESCRIPTION="QuadKonsole is a KDE program which embeds multiple Konsoles" HOMEPAGE="http://nomis80.org" That page is listed as the home page in Freshmeat. I also think it is better to say multiple Konsoles because you can after all have more than 4 of them. I will attach an ebuild with these changes after I get something working.
I've found a couple of annoying problem with quadkonsole, probably it's worth waiting for a new version hoping that fixes them. I'll take care of the new version if it comes out.
No updates since march. If there ever will be another version, open a new bug please.
Reopen to dupe.
