[SOLVED] building Cinnamon (sid)

[xircon]

I have also tried it with the oneiric repos as well, still no joy.

Hmmm!

Great – and thanks for a desktop which respects the preferences of existing Linux users (currently with Gnome2).

The update came in today for “Lisa”. One question: will Cinnamon be available also for Debian-Wheezy once ist is stable and released (spring 2013)?

Edit by Clem:
It works in Debian Testing at the moment and it will be provided to LMDE users when UP4 is released (it’s already in their repository).

UP4 ?

UP4 ?

Update Pack 4

Okay, this 'apt build' is a neat trick. My kind of command. Don't know how to fly a plane? Apt build. Forgot your anniversary? Apt build.

I groped my way down a few blind alleys, but things are happy enough to compile and install. I think this is what worked, with the dependencies listed above.

Sid, virtualbox:

Code: Select all

~/Projects/mint $ git clone git://github.com/linuxmint/muffin
$ git clone git://github.com/linuxmint/Cinnamon
$ cd muffin
$ apt build
[ have a Snickers]
$ sudo make install
$ cd ../Cinnamon
$ ./autogen.sh
$ make
$ sudo make install
[log into gnome-session]
$ cinnamon --replace
OpenGL Info: Using XSHM for GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap
Segmentation fault

So close!

Deprecated, shmeprecated! It should power through the warning... I unfortunately don't know enough about the compile chain to offer useful advice. Try, uh, configure, make, apt build again?... that's a rough approximation to what I did

[xircon]

Decided to ignore muffin as I have the deb installed from yesterday's playing around. Compiled/installed cinnamon all went OK, tried "cinnamon --replace" and, bang, I get the shell version of "Aw Snap" with log-out and turn off extensions, but no errors. Logged out (no choice) and underneath is cinnamon (or at least the bottom bar is there), so I turned off all extensions log out/in and tried again, still crashes, but again we get closer........................

I was explaining to someone about different Linux distros, and different desktops, and the new Cinnamon desktop, and how there's this poster on the forum with a great signature, it says Ubuntu is an African word that means 'I can't configure Debian.'

"That's funny," she says. "What are you doing over there?"

Uh...

"Cause it sounds like--"

Nope! Just making sure, the, ah, kernel... Validates? With all the proprietary, you know. Drivers.

Hey, that's great!

apt build -d (suppress warning: libmuffin-dev unavailable) in Cinnamon@e0a7a33ffa gives me:

Code: Select all

dpkg-shlibdeps: error: no dependency information found for /usr/lib/libmuffin.so.0 (used by debian/cinnamon/usr/lib/cinnamon/libcinnamon.so).

make: *** [binary-predeb-IMPL/cinnamon] Error 2
dpkg-buildpackage: error: debian/rules binary gave error exit status 2

make has a permissions error with src/stamp-st-marshal.h. I'll keep trying.

Anyone have a reference for apt build? The apt(1) man page is for different stuff altogether.

[xircon]

I followed your bash log - still get the same error with muffin

[zerozero]

mockturtl, do you have muffin and its debs already compiled at that moment? if so install them before go to compile cinnamon, that dep (libmuffin-deb) is available as one of the debs you compiled;

i tried the apt build -d but it gave an error and i don't think it's a great idea anyway, because it tries to compile without checking;

once i had all the necessary deps (like 2 trucks of it ) compiling muffin was not hard; cinnamon was more difficult: first there's that dep loop, you have to install first the muffin debs before start the process (and i was banging my head against the wall for awhile there); then apt build failed a couple times but after ./autogen.sh things went smooth.

Code: Select all

cd Cinnamon
apt build
apt build
apt build
apt build
make
sudo make install
sudo ./autogen.sh
make
apt build
sudo make install

xircon, i dunno, hope this helps i based my "work" yesterday in your posts and mockturtl's

[xircon]

I can't compile muffin, but can install the debs, I can compile cinnamon with no problems

Gave it a shot, but better wait for the experts.

hi Gene, you need 2 things (and even then i'm not sure it gonna work )
- the deb-src for mint and debian repos;
- correct the pin-priority (i was stuck with libcairo2-dev until then), so the preferences file reads 700 for all repos (you already know the drawbacks of that- font rendering might go bummm )

[GeneC]

OK. Will give it another try. Sounds like fun.
I assume you are on 'testing' repos?

[zerozero]

yeahh, this was made on lmde-testing

Thanks, buddy.

Lets see what happens.
