Calligra on Windows: QtDBus

Hi Ivan,

I think your workaround has worked and that I have now built the 
libdbusmenu component. Thanks. I do have the following questions:

* The component above is normally built as part of "emerge kdelibs" which 
fails as discussed. Do you know whether the other components are built 
correctly, or is the build step interrupted and subsequent components not 
built?

* Is it safe to execute "emerge kdelibs" after your workaround, or would 
emerge redownload the defunct version?

Taco.

Hi Taco,

you are right, I left out a few tricks that should be applied.

If things are not changed since I did it, the archive containing the 
sources for dbusmenu-qt downloaded by emerge is named 
libdbusmenu-qt-0.9.2.tar.bz2 and the archive containing the sources for 
dbusmenu-qt downloaded by kdewin-installer is named 
dbusmenu-qt-vc100-20120130-src.tar.bz2. They have different sources inside 
and a slightly different directory structure.

Inside your KDEROOT directory you should have a "download" directory where 
emerge puts downloaded archives before installing them (you should see 
libdbusmenu-qt-0.9.2.tar.bz2 there).
I repacked the content of dbusmenu-qt-vc100-20120130-src.tar.bz2 with the 
same directory structure and name of libdbusmenu-qt-0.9.2.tar.bz2, you can 
download it from 
http://sites.google.com/site/ivanmiraglia001/dbusmenu-qt/libdbusmenu-qt-0.9.
2.tar.bz2

You should replace the official archive 
(KDEROOT\download\libdbusmenu-qt-0.9.2.tar.bz2) with my tricky archive. 
that will cheat emerge.
After that you can execute:
>> emerge --offline dbusmenu-qt
now dbusmenu-qt should build. 
I know that this is not a clean solution.

feel you free to ask if I was unclear or for any other problem.

I am trying to follow your suggestion and have installed (among others) the 
dbus and dbusmenu-qt components using the KDE installer. This has installed 
the sources and binaries of these components. However, it does not include 
the QtDBus directory of include files included by the Calligra sources, so 
I am still unable to compile Calligra.

Did you use the installer for all dependency components, or did you combine 
some installed components with the 'emerge' tool, and if so, how? If not, 
what is your source for the required directory of include files?

Your help is much appreciated.

Taco.

hello all,
I'm new in the development of KDE/Calligra, so I think that my 
suggestions may not be the best one, but since I encountered the same 
problem two weeks ago and I solved it somehow, I share my simple solution.

>From what I observed, the emerge tool downloads the source for the 
libdbusmenu-qt version 0.9.2 that are the same that I found at the 
following link:
https://launchpad.net/libdbusmenu-qt (I think it is the official site of 
dbusmenu-qt library).
This package is not suitable for building with Visual Studio as it is.

At the following link
http://windows.kde.org/download.php.
you can download an installer that allows you to install many components 
of KDE on Windows.
During installation process you can choose to download also/only the 
sources of KDE components (and their dependencies).
I downloaded the sources for libdbusmenu-qt. The version is 0.9.0 that 
is sufficient to continue the building process. I used it instead of the 
one downloaded by emerge tool.

I suppose that the same changes that are present in the sources 
downloaded by kdewin-installer can be merged into libdbusmenu-qt version 
0.9.2.
