++ 19/11/01 15:26 +0000 - Michael Collette: | Trying to do up a new port here for an app called Kinkatta. Been doing a | fair bit of reading in the porting handbook and looking over other KDE ports | to try and get this to play. Also just trying to learn how to perform this | bit of magic. I'm actually friends with the author, and he was bugging me to do a port and I have one in my local tree. It's on my todo list for tonight (to commit it). | At this point I've come very close to getting the basics done. I've got the | distfile made, and pretty close to a correct pkg-plist for this. The program | compiles and installs without error as well. With all that being said, got a | couple of problems still yet. There were a few issues in having it respect CFLAGS. | If I don't do an "export KDEDIR=/usr/local" prior to running the make it | fails on configuration. I'm not seeing this handled in other KDE application | ports other than to specify the kde libs to be used. Is there some step I'm | missing, or do I need to put this into Makefile somehow? I just have USE_KDELIBS_VER=2, and things went OK for me. | When I get past this point the app compiles and installs, but then when I run | it up the darn thing can't find it's own graphics files. A number of icons | and such get installed, but the path gets mucked up somewhere along the line. | Where might I look to find this type of setting? Is there some patching I'm | going to need to write up to make this play? This is a prefix issue. It works if you install in /usr/local, so that's what I'm doing for now. I'm working up some patches to give to my friend to fix this. BTW, you should try out the version of kinkatta in CVS -- it supports plugins and is really quite cool :-) I'll drop you a line once I commit this tonight. -pete -- Pete Fritchman [petef@(databits.net|freebsd.org|csh.rit.edu)] finger petef@databits.net for PGP key To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
