 Posted: Tue Jun 14, 2005 6:33 pm Post subject: Ebuild for qemu-launcher |
 |
|
G'day,
here's a quick ebuild I assembled today. Please tell me if it works: Any feedback is welcome, and if the user-base of qemu-launcher grows I'll consider submitting the ebuild.
Known issues:
- textdomain. not quite certain what dependency is needed or not. The patch solves the problem on my system
- qemu-launcher does not work well with qemu-0.7. There's an issue with the keyboard option. Patch below solves this by completely ignoring keyboard settings and not passing them to qemu.
You have to download the sources by hand, there seems to be some sort of (intended or unintended) fetch restriction - wget from the console didn't work. However, navigating to the site and downloading it with the browser worked.
Here is the ebuild:
| Code: |
# Copyright 1999-2005 Gentoo Foundation
# Distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License v2
# $Header: $
inherit eutils
DESCRIPTION="A GUI helper for the qemu emulator"
HOMEPAGE="http://emeitner.f2o.org/projects/qemu-launcher/"
SRC_URI="http://emeitner.f2o.org/debian/qemu-launcher_1.3-1.tar.gz"

src_compile() {
# do nothing, this package does not need "configure" and "make"
einfo "This package uses perl. No compilation required."
}
src_install() {
make install PREFIX=${D}/usr || die
patch -i ${FILESDIR}/textdomain.patch ${D}/usr/bin/qemu-launcher
patch -i ${FILESDIR}/keyboard.patch ${D}/usr/bin/qemu-launcher
}
|
Any better way of disabling the "src_compile" section? Leaving it out of the ebuild will just activate the standard src_compile mechanism 
Instructions for portage "overlay" newbies:
1. create /usr/local/portage/app-emulation/qemu-launcher
2. create a file (qemu-launcher-1.3.ebuild) in that directory and copy the source from above into that file. You will also need the patch (see below)
3. download the source (of the programme) and move it to /usr/portage/distfiles
4. cd /usr/local/portage/app-emulation/qemu-launcher
5. type "ebuild qemu-launcher-1.3.ebuild digest"
6. Add PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" to your make.conf
7. run ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge -av qemu-launcher
Here is the patch (required for my system). Put this into /usr/local/portage/app-emulation/qemu-launcher/files/ and call the file "textdomain.patch":
| Code: |

Ok, the emerge runs fine. But I get:
| Code: |
Undefined subroutine &main::bind_textdomain_codeset called at /bin/qemu-launcher line 1043.
|
at run time. Any ideas?
system is:
gnome 2.8.3
kernel 2.6.9
P4 2.8 ghz
if that matters. |

Hmm,
looking at the source of the programme, I can see that there's something commented out on line 1042:
| Code: | #bindtextdomain("qemu-launcher", "./,locale");
bind_textdomain_codeset( "qemu-launcher" ,''); |
As this programme is "only" a perl script, you might try removing that comment marker in line 1042 and put a comment marker at the beginning of line 1043.
If this does not work, I'd throw my guess at namespace problems.
Cheers,
geta

Finally got back to this and figured it out. You need a dependency on dev-perl/Locale-gettext and maybe perl-core/locale-maketext. Not sure about the second one, cause I emerged it first, and it did not run until I emerged the first one. Anyways now its ok. Thanks.

Thanks for your feedback. I'll try that solution. The solution I supplied worked without installing extra software, although it is too complicated for someone who wants to get on with the job (whatever that may be).
I'll also have to try and fix an issue with qemu 0.7.0 and the keyboard option in qemu-launcher.

graybeard, did I understand correctly: you got the original ebuild working?
I have to swap comment lines in the source (mentioned in my posting above), it won't work any other way. Installing locale-maketext didn't help (Locale-gettext was already installed). Maybe some version incompatibility. Are you using stable packages, masked packages or old packages?
