Build drawing without gettext and intltool #153
Comments
that sounds quite absurd
i think what fails is the generation of the translated .desktop file (in
should kinda work. Then the line 15 will fail again, but that's the appdata.xml file used by GNOME Software, Plasma Discover, etc. so you probably consider it bloated and don't care |
Ok, it's not exact, it was to simplify. The dev has created a distribution with simplicity in mind. And to simplify, english is the default language. Each user can package the necessary software for the translation, but they are not in the main repository. A user can also package the necessary softwares for the community of Kiss Linux. Thank you for your help. I had a look again at my build instructions and with your help I created the following patch:
It compiles without problems, I'm just unable to start it, because python modules are missing, but that point must be discussed in the community of Kiss Linux. What remains:

do you really get the .desktop file installed with this patch?
once you'll know meson better than me (it shouldn't be long) you can implement it yourself, if it works i'll merge it
as i said the existing meson.build files are from GNOME Builder's "hello world", and are thus designed to work with flatpak, where it's not an issue. If it's not normal when installing it as a native package (after a little googling it is indeed weird and should be fixed), change the value of this option in build-aux/meson/postinstall.py |
No, good remark. But in fact I don't need it and unless somebody needs it, for the moment it will be enough. As I remember, it's necessary for desktop environment like KDE, Gnome or other or to use with
Ok, I'll test your software and then I'll have a look. For the moment, a patch is enough.
Ok, thank you for the information. I'll test your software and if I package it for Kiss, I'll have a look to modify the path. Can you keep this issue open until I have tested |
i'll keep it opened until someone from another distro complains about /usr/local/ |
also, i don't know what exactly you're building, but be careful, 0.4.x released versions are on another branch, master is not stable at all |
I built the 0.4.10 version. I need to think about it, I have a problem with the dependencies, and not sure if I can package it easily. I have to have a better look, some |
Hello, I would like to test
drawing
, but I'm unable to build it. I'm using Kiss linux and this distribution is targeted for english, so there is nogettext
andintltool
. When I builddrawing
, I get:Would it be possible to add a configure option to meson to disable translation ? And before it's done, I could patch the
meson.build
, but I don't know which part to delete.Thank you!
