 Posted: Thu Jan 20, 2005 4:10 am Post subject: Gnome-Launch-Box |
 |
|
I just found this http://micke.hallendal.net/gnome-launch-box/
It is based off of Quicksilver for the MacOSX. I have heard a lot from friends how nice that app is.
I tried installing it, but run into problems with deps. Here they are:
| Code: |
configure: error: Library requirements (gtk+-2.0 >= 2.4 gnome-vfs-2.0 libgnomeui-2.0 libgnome-menu libebook-1.2) not met; consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if your libraries are in a nonstandard prefix so pkg-config can find them.
|
Any help with them would be great. The only ones i need are libgnome-menu, and libebook. They are not in portage  . What do i do?

| libgnome-menu is probably part of the 'gnome-menus' pack that comes with GNOME 2.9/2.10. You'll probably need that environment in order to get a successful build. Not sure offhand about ebook. |

woah, i started on an application similar to this awhile ago (i stole the idea from AppRocket for windows). I put the project on the backburner since school started back up -- but this looks a lot cooler than what I had so far...  |

Ya 2 apps that we need for linux are things like Approcket and Quicksilver. I have never used them before, but If so many people like them, something must be worth while

libgnome-menu can be found on BMG (gnome-base/gnome-menus) if you get the latest gnome-panel.
But i couldn't build this apps because we miss a dependency: evolution-data-server-1.2 which isn't in portage (neither in BMG or elsewhere...).
Too bad, this app looks good. |

A small update to this thread...
An ebuild + patch for gnome-launch-box can be found in ecatmur's public overlay: http://home.jesus.ox.ac.uk/~ecatmur/gentoo/trees/capella.catmur.co.uk/gnome-extra/gnome-launch-box/gnome-launch-box-0.1.ebuild
http://home.jesus.ox.ac.uk/~ecatmur/gentoo/trees/capella.catmur.co.uk/gnome-extra/gnome-launch-box/files/gnome-launch-box-0.1-exec.patch
I tried it out, and at first got an error regarding a Gentoo sanity check and libtoolize. Adding a line of code to the ebuild (following the tip in another forum thread) solved it for me. It compiled correctly and runs.
The 'fixed' ebuild:
| Code: | # Copyright 2004 Gentoo Technologies, Inc.
# Distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License v2
# $Header: $
inherit gnome2 eutils
DESCRIPTION="An application launcher influenced by Quicksilver for Mac OSX"
HOMEPAGE="http://micke.hallendal.net/gnome-launch-box/"
SRC_URI="http://ftp.imendio.com/pub/imendio/$PN/src/$P.tar.bz2"
LICENSE="GPL-2"
SLOT="0"
KEYWORDS="~x86"
RDEPEND=">=x11-libs/gtk+-2.4
>=gnome-base/gnome-vfs-2.0
>=gnome-base/libgnomeui-2.0
>=gnome-base/gnome-menus-2.9.4
>=gnome-extra/evolution-data-server-1.1"
src_unpack() {
unpack ${A}
cd ${S}; epatch ${FILESDIR}/${PN}-0.1-exec.patch
libtoolize --copy --force
autoconf || die
} |
What I added is: libtoolize --copy --force
Hope that helps anyone.  |

the ebuild doesn't compile because the interface of gnome-menu changed.
is there any gnome-launch-box cvs or svn ebuild? |

| ah, i see. if you first launch it, it stays in memory and if you call the app a second time, the first instance is called again, so it avoids running more than one instance at a time. |
