[SOLVED] building Cinnamon (sid)

[zerozero]

Dan,
let's see:
open a second terminal and sudo apt-get install (now copy&paste all the missing deps in that output)

Unmet build dependencies: libgjs-dev (>= 1.29.18) gsettings-desktop-schemas-dev (>= 0.1.7) libcaribou-dev libcroco3-dev (>= 0.6.2) libdbus-glib-1-dev libgnome-bluetooth-dev (>= 3.1.0) libgnome-desktop-3-dev (>= 2.90.0) libgnome-keyring-dev libgnome-menu-3-dev libgstreamer0.10-dev (>= 0.10.16) libgudev-1.0-dev libnm-glib-dev (>= 0.8.999) librsvg2-dev libxss-dev libpulse-dev libecal1.2-dev (>= 2.32) libedataserver1.2-dev (>= 3.0.0) libedataserverui-3.0-dev (>= 3.0.0) libfolks-dev (>= 0.5.2) libtelepathy-glib-dev (>= 0.15.5) libtelepathy-logger-dev (>= 0.2.4) libpolkit-agent-1-dev (>= 0.100)

mockturtl, maybe this

Oh, crap -- I didn't notice the timestamps the first time. That was just yesterday! The v9 libmozjs that I see a compile warning for just came in... that explains everything, I think.

yeahh the topic is moving too fast yesterday was like 2 pages ago

@ZeroZero
I did some removing and installing of some of the packages and was left with these to try to install.

dcihon@dcihon-linux-mint-debian:~/Cinnamon$ sudo apt-get install libcroco3-dev libdbus-glib-1-dev libgnome-bluetooth-dev libgnome-desktop-3-dev libgnome-keyring-dev libgnome-menu-3-dev libgstreamer0.10-dev libgudev-1.0-dev libnm-glib-dev librsvg2-dev libxss-dev libpulse-dev libecal1.2-dev libedataserver1.2-dev libedataserverui-3.0-dev libfolks-dev libtelepathy-glib-dev libtelepathy-logger-dev libpolkit-agent-1-dev

Here is the result:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libcroco3-dev : Depends: libxml2-dev (>= 2.4.23) but it is not going to be installed
libedataserver1.2-dev : Depends: libxml2-dev but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libsoup2.4-dev but it is not going to be installed
libedataserverui-3.0-dev : Depends: libebook1.2-dev (= 3.2.2-1) but it is not going to be installed
libgnome-keyring-dev : Depends: libgnome-keyring0 (= 3.2.2-1) but 3.2.2-2 is to be installed
libgstreamer0.10-dev : Depends: libxml2-dev but it is not going to be installed
libnm-glib-dev : Depends: libnm-glib4 (= 0.9.2.0-1) but 0.9.2.0-2 is to be installed
Depends: gir1.2-networkmanager-1.0 (= 0.9.2.0-1) but 0.9.2.0-2 is to be installed
Depends: libnm-util-dev but it is not going to be installed
libpulse-dev : Depends: libpulse0 (= 1.0-4) but 1.1-2 is to be installed
Depends: libpulse-mainloop-glib0 (= 1.0-4) but 1.1-2 is to be installed
E: Broken packages

That libxml2-dev relies on libxml2 which I can't remove because it would remove too many needed packages.
Should I just wait or try something else?
Thanks for helping.

@zerozero
those dependencies are for wheezy mostly aren't they?

[whirly]

I've been trying too
some fun
no joy
from what i gather i need to compile from the tar

[zerozero]

Dan, i can apt-get all those pkgs in testing (where i did the compiling) mockturtl and stz*j did it in sid, so you might refer to their posts as a guide, but i would start checking your etc/apt/preferences and make sure you have all the deb-src repos enabled; after that i believe it's a seek&hunt for the missing dep

@whirly, it depends: in my posts yes, in mockturtl's and stz*j's are for sid.

I thought I had it all set correctly for Cinnamon.

[zerozero]

yes you do, and you are using testing repos i don't get it, you have discrepancies with some v. that i can't explain

where are your v. number come from?

[kmb42vt]

First problem:

dcihon@dcihon-linux-mint-debian:~/muffin$ sudo autogen.sh
[sudo] password for dcihon:
sudo: autogen.sh: command not found

That should be:

Code: Select all

sudo ./autogen.sh

I believe.

Here are mine for the same packages:

got the tar
made it behave like other people
more fun
still no joy

[mockturtl]

I got my wheezy box upgraded to sid, and Cinnamon running (before, it would only SFOD). I did make sure to explicitly

Code: Select all

$ sudo aptitude remove libmozjs9d libmozjs-dev xulrunner-9.0 xulrunner-dev
$ sudo aptitude install libmozjs185-dev

Building the debs was totally straightforward.

Going back now to see whether Cinnamon breaks when compiled with the v9 packages present.

edit: Nope, doesn't break. According to my logs, libmozjs185 was used (and I couldn't remove it without breaking gnome-shell, etc.). Not quite sure what my problem was.

If all the necessary dependencies are installed, running these scripts should be all it takes -- note they'll output nice logfiles:

do-muffin.sh

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh
# use 'tail -f' to view the log in a separate terminal
sudo apt build > ../build-muffin.log 2>&1

install-muffin.sh

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh
sudo dpkg -i *.deb

do-cinnamon.sh

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh
# use 'tail -f' to view the logs in a separate terminal
sudo ./autogen.sh > ../autogen-cinnamon.log 2>&1 && \
sudo make > ../make-cinnamon.log 2>&1 && \
sudo make install > ../install-cinnamon.log 2>&1 && \
sudo apt build > ../build-cinnamon.log 2>&1

More secret sauce...

System monitor

Code: Select all

$ git clone git://github.com/merlwiz79/cinnamon-extensions-system-monitor.git

Extended places menu

Code: Select all

$ git clone git://github.com/merlwiz79/cinnamon-extensions-extended-places-menu.git

Instructions are in the README.

last night was funny
i saw the news and thought let's give it a try
better start by saying that i should be quiet after this
but,
- log in gnome-shell
- sudo apt-get remove cinnamon
- sudo apt-get remove libmozjs9d libmozjs-dev xulrunner-9.0 xulrunner-dev according to this ok i'm on testing but it shouldn't explode
- install from sid libmozjs185-dev and libmozjs185-1.0
- compile the 20110130 cinnamon
- segfault
- remove the "new" cinnamon
- reinstall the old one and it's up and running

very productive night
your, mockturtl was a lot better used, that looks very g00d

edit:
after going though my logs again i found out:
1- i compiled 1st time the new cinnamon without applying mockturtl's recipe,
2- it gave me a segfault,
3- tried to reinstall the "old" cinnamon > segfault
4- applying the recipy, the 20110130 segfaults, but the "old" one works,
5- i guess i'm missing something here (and should be obvious, but i couldn't see it last night)

[mockturtl]

That's very kind of you to blow yourself up on my account

- sudo apt-get remove libmozjs9d libmozjs-dev xulrunner-9.0 xulrunner-dev according to this ok i'm on testing but it shouldn't explode
- install from sid libmozjs185-dev and libmozjs185-1.0

I think I found out I couldn't get rid of them without losing libgjs-dev (here). It's getting hard to remember.

From PTS -- #653051 "It seems that Gnome Shell 3.2 in Testing is waiting for this bug"

I still can't imagine how you got it working in the first place. Come to the dark side. It's nice here.

If you have build logs, maybe grep them for 'mozjs', or 'warn'?

Hm. It looks like maybe you can get away with just libgjs0b, instead, and avoid the others?

[whirly]

you two @zerozero and @mockturtl are raising more questions as you answer others
those scripts look interesting...if i paste into terminal it (she or he?) doesn't seem to know where to look
so apparently nothing happens
but i've pasted other stuff in to terminal and am sure if i tell it do it does---what did it do?
after the previous compile experiments i have a muffin folder--i expect i'll need to remove it before trying again
but with these scripts.. does it assume my machine has a tray of muffins? or still only flour eggs butter sugar milk?
i also found a new clutter folder which i think is a result of this experimenting
lastly... the final compile experiment after i managed configure and autogen .sh told me i'll have a gstreamer dependency issue
Nobody has mentioned this issue yet so i can only assume it's my frankenstall
to summarize
1-- terminal is a he or she?
2--how do those scripts actually work?
3--Did terminal do something if i pasted it in? even if it looked like fail
4--will autoremove remove these newly compiled folders IFF they belong to the cinnamon compile experiment? is there a better way?
5-- If i've commanded my terminal to do something incorrectly with these scripts do i need to rescind the command? how
everything seems normal
one more thing-- i have cinnamon on my lisa, and i don't see your windows wobbling

[whirly]

oops
i need xuls for firefox and tor
i can't remove them
