[patch] OptionalPackages - Caya

[Barrett]

I have created an updated package of Caya and the patch to add it as optional package. I have followed the doc on haiku-os.org anyway if there is any error / problem..let me know : )

[Barrett]

Oops..forgot that the package is hosted here :

​http://bluehq.altervista.org/caya-0.0.1-prealpha-x86-gcc4-2011-04-09.zip

[bonefish]

BTW, the packages are in lexicographical order in OptionalPackages.

add caya as optional package

[scottmc]

Barrett, Can you put together a working .bep file so that Haikuporter can automatically build this? Put it in haikuports/haiku-apps/caya Once you have a working bep file attach it to this trac ticket and I'll add it into Haikuports svn. If you need an example bep file to see how it would needs to be formatted check some of the other bep files in the haiku-apps directory.

[Barrett]

Just a question, we have two repositories, one for MIT code (Caya + aim plugin) and another for GPL plugins (xmpp, msn, yahoo)...looking at the beps guide on haikuports seems that it is not possible to have two repositories for one package (correct me if i'm wrong), so i'm doing two bep files one for Caya itself and one for "Caya-gpl-plugins"...only to notice you in case i'm doing something bad.

[scottmc]

That should be ok.

patch to build caya with haikuporter

[scottmc]

Added to haikuports in 1529, but it's not building cleanly. Barrett, perhaps you can try it on a fresh install and see if there's any other dependencies other than curl that I might have missed. Let's leave this open until we verify it's building right and gets added into the OptionalPackages.

[Barrett]

Maybe the problem is that Caya need gcc4, is there a method to disable gcc2 builds or something?

[scottmc]

ok, gcc4 worked, but there's a handful of warnings you may want to investigate. I got: application/views/ContactPopUp.cpp:19 warning: the result of the conversion is unspecified because '1025' is outside the range of type 'windoew_feel' and a few others.

I'll update the .bep to mark it as gcc4 only.

[scottmc]

caya builds, but then caya-gpl-protocol is complaining that the Caya library is needed! Is there a specific location this needs to be located for the gpl-protocols to build?

[scottmc]

Replying to scottmc:

@Barrett, Now that GSoC is over, maybe you can take another look at this when you find time and suggest what to do next?

Patch fixing the problems with caya's bep file

[Barrett]

Hello, sorry for delay...i had completely forgotten this task. I have attached a patch that fix the problem.

[scottmc]

patch to add caya as an optional package

[scottmc]

@Barrett, I have attached a diff to allow for adding caya into haiku as an optional package. Please use this to patch your OptionalPackages file and then build caya into Haiku. Verify everything works as expected, including checking of the About System copyright entries, as I'm not sure how they will show up for this one since there are two entries. Make sure everything is in order and if not fix up what needs fixing and let me know. If you need to update the .bep file(s) please open a new ticket on HaikuPorts and attach them there.

I tried to build it, but Caya hrev240 crashes on startup. (gcc2hybrid). So I'd suggest we don't make it available yet :)

[Barrett]

Have you compiled all with gcc4? Which rev of caya-gpl-protocols are you using? Looks strange, you are the first person telling me about a crash on startup. It seems something like old plugins in the install directory.

Is there something else to clean besides /boot/common/apps ?

[Barrett]

No, all caya binaries are contained in /boot/apps/Caya/. There are just some headers installed, but they aren't the problem. Are you using alpha3?

[pulkomandy]

No, this is hrev43105. I think it was working in the alpha...

[Barrett]

Ok, i'll look at it. Yes it's working as well on alpha3.

[scottmc]

What's the status on this one?

[Barrett]

I'm close to release a new prealpha, so i've planned to begin with the optional package with that release. At the moment i've finished the work on Caya itself, in the next days i'll send a patch to the haikuports trac.

[korli]

Was there something submitted on HaikuPorts?

[Barrett]

Submitted just now :

[mmadia]

Barrett has provided me with some updated archives. I'll be updating OptionalPackages shortly.

[mmadia]

Added in hrev44193. Thanks!
