 Posted: Wed Aug 09, 2006 10:36 pm Post subject: Mini How-To Slab (Gnome menu from Suse) |
 |
|
UPDATE 04-09-2006
This way to install Slab
Pre-requisite
first emerge layman wich permit to manage overlays :
Add this line to your make.conf :
| Code: | | source /usr/portage/local/layman/make.conf |
then update layman
You can have a list of available overlay with
Make sure your local portage is set in make.conf
| Code: | | PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" |
and directory present :
| Code: | | # mkdir /etc/local/portage |
Get the right files
Add the gentopia overlay :
| Code: | | # layman -a gentopia |
Then get all the patch files and ebuild from here : https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=140027
file to get :
01-control-center-fix.patch
02-slab-autogen-noconfigure.patch
03-configure.in-remove-gtk-doc.patch
slab-1.9999-r4.ebuild
unmask files if necessary
in /etc/portage/package.keywords :
| Code: |
gnome-extra/slab
net-misc/networkmanager
net-misc/dhcdbd
dev-libs/libnl
|
in /etc/portage/package.unmask
Create directories :
| Code: |
# mkdir /usr/local/portage/gnome-extra
# mkdir /usr/local/portage/gnome-extra/slab
# mkdir /usr/local/portage/gnome-extra/slab/files
|
Then places files in directories :
| Code: |
# mv *.patch /usr/local/portage/gnome-extra/slab/files/
# mv slab-1.9999.ebuild /usr/local/portage/gnome-extra/slab/
|
Emerge it
| Code: | | # emerge --digest -av slab |
Add the new gnome menu in the applet bar then enjoy!

Sorry about that. I just took the deps from the original ebuild. I'll update my ebuild in the bug, and hopefully stuart will follow suit with his ebuild. Then this step will be unnessessary 
If anyone's curious the bug that stuart took his ebuild from is #140027

I've followed your setup and I've also emerged gnome-common as suggested but I'm having a problem with the networkmanager dependency. When I do emerge --digest -av slab, I get the following:
| Code: | linuxclient portage # emerge --digest -av slab
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
Calculating dependencies |
emerge: there are no ebuilds to satisfy ">=net-misc/networkmanager-0.6.3".
(dependency required by "gnome-extra/slab-1.9999-r4" [ebuild]) |
How do I get networkmanager installed?
Thanks! |

[edit]
I guess this is in the guide allready...

The easiest way is to get the gentopia overlay.
Check the Gentoo Overlays: Users' Guide if you need instructions.

Thanks, I got networkmanager installed and I was able to emerge slab. The last part of the instructions say to add the new gnome menu to the applet bar. How do I do that?
Thanks! |

Right click on one of your panels, and select "Add to Panel..."
Scroll down until you see the Main Menu entries (there should now be 2 of them). For me the new menu was the one without the icon, select it, and click add.

I was able to get networkmanager installed but when I try to compile slab I get the following error even though I'm logged in as root:

Anyone know how I can fix this permissions issue? I'm using AMD64 btw. |

| grogblob, I don't know the solution but to clue you in. Even though you are logged in as root, that won't matter. Without FEATURES="-userpriv", portage drops root permissions and compiles as user portage. |

grogblob, are you using the latest ebuild. That looks like it was possibly using the old slab ebuild that had MAJOR sandbox violations. If you are check the first post for links to the correct ebuild to use. Make sure you get the attachment labeled slab-1.9999-r4.ebuild NOT the one labeled "slab ebuild".
If you are using the latest ebuild, could you pastebin a build log, and your emerge --info, and post links?

Sorry I haven't had time to update the ebuild, I've been working on the networkmanager backend, and haven't even had much time to do that.
Slab has been moved to gnome-main-menu. I believe that steev has an ebuild at http://dev.gentoo.org/~steev/files/gnome-main-menu-0.6.2.ebuild, I have not tested this, so you would have to contact him with any questions/problems.

Ok, I just tested, and the last slab ebuild still works as long as you rename it to gnome-main-menu.
Also as a note to the OP, you no longer need the gentopia overlay as NetworkManager is now in portage. Plus the version in portage is much newer and has patches for the Gentoo /etc/conf.d/net and for dbus-1.0
