Problems found by the CI system
Hi all, It seems lately that people have been breaking builds and not fixing the results, and some builds are extremely unreliable. It would be appreciated if these could be fixed. Frameworks folks, when pushing binary incompatible changes, please ensure you push them to the frameworks in the correct order, and wait for builds to complete before moving on to the next one. I've now fixed, by issuing rebuilds, two recent Binary Compatability breaches which caused kde-runtime among others to fail to build. Bindings people, please investigate the failures in smokegen. This tool is extremely unreliable in the CI environment and has failed many times previously. It is currently causing smokekde to fail to build, which in turn blocks perlkde, korundum and kimono. If you need a backtrace, please let me know. From what I can tell, this tool is incompatible with a Qt built in debug mode (ie. with assertions enabled). Baloo developers, please take a look at the failure in this log - http://build.kde.org/view/FAILED/job/baloo_stable/80/console. When referencing projects outside your own, it is imperative the correct include statements are used in the CMake logic. KDE Workspace devels, please do not attempt to host a framework within a repository which then uses this framework. This prevents people without a previous installation of it from being able to build it - an environment the CI system provides. Packagers will be unable to build it as well.

Re: Missing application icons of many KDE apps on MacPorts/OSX
Hi Marko and Thomas,I have been pursuing a different line of enquiry on this problem.Firstly, I am finding exactly the same, on Apple OS X, as Marko. Some KDE appsare installed with icons that appear on the Apple desktop and in the Apple filetree for applications: others get just a generic (Apple-related) icon.Without exception, AFAIK, all the KDE Games (there are about 40 of them) haveicons that work fine in the Apple OS X environment. And also, AFAIK, all thegames have essentially the same simple icon-installation strategy (they weremostly drawn by the same artist). Each game's source contains fileshiNN-app-.png, where NN = 16, 22, 32, 48, 64 and 128 and theCMakeLists.txt files contain kde4_add_app_icon(_SRCS "${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/hi*-app-.png")kde4_install_icons( ${ICON_INSTALL_DIR} )On 23/03/2014, at 7:42 PM, mk-li...@email.de wrote:On 23 Mar 2014, at 08:56 , mk-li...@email.de wrote:I haven’t crosschecked with other apps from my long list, but I guess that explains it.I have found that the ports with an app icon on OSX actually do have an ICNS file installed:—$ find /Applications/MacPorts/KDE4 -name "*.icns"/Applications/MacPorts/KDE4/dolphin.app/Contents/Resources/dolphin_SRCS.icns/Applications/MacPorts/KDE4/kapptemplate.app/Contents/Resources/kapptemplate_SRCS.icns—And yes, all the games seem to have a Contents/Resources/_SRCS.icns fileinstalled in Apple OS X: and so do a few other KDE apps that also have icons visible in theApple OS X desktop. Vice-versa, the KDE apps with missing icons do NOT have a .icns file.KDevelop is the only one missing the 128x128 icon, which seems to be the reason for displaying the generic icon in dock if the app is not started.I do not have KDevelop installed, so I tried the Konqueror browser instead. Similarly towhat you found, Marko, Konqueror has only a generic icon when it is not running, butthis changes to a nice Konqueror icon as it starts to run, and changes back again whenit finishes. Now here is the strange part …The icon Konqueror shows is NOT the one in its repository at:https://projects.kde.org/projects/kde/applications/kde-baseapps/repository/revisions/master/show/konqueror/picsThe attached tiny screenshot shows two Konqueror icons. The one on the left is fromthe repository (I think it might be just an old KDE 3 icon: there has been no change inits .png file for 8 years). The one on the right is what appears in Apple OS X when yourun Konqueror: it also appears in the Dock.So where is this NEW Konqueror icon coming from? The files in pics/indicators seemto be far too small to be a big icon like that.Cheers, Ian W.

Re: Missing application icons of many KDE apps on MacPorts/OSX
Hi Thomas and Marko,
I guess I am like the old cow's tail: always running along behind … :-)
Sunday was my final birthday party, actually a triple celebration: my second
son, my daughter and I all have birthdays in the same week.
I had a look at the missing icons issue, but was too tired to post earlier.

I notice there are TWO kde4_add_app_icon() macro refs in that CMakeLists.txt.
The other
one has no "_bin" in it … seems odd ...
Also there is no kde4_install_icons() there, but I found one in
kdevelop/pics/CMakeLists.txt.

In the (master) repository for develop/pics at:
https://projects.kde.org/projects/extragear/kdevelop/kdevelop/repository/revisions/master/show/pics
I see hiNN-app-kdevelop.png, but only for NN = 16, 32 and 48. So where did you
get a
128 icon from, Marko? Did you make your own?
And, Marko, can you point me to something that will crack one of Apple's ICNS
files? e.g.
a) list the contents, icon sizes, etc.
b) display the icons.
That bit of Appletech is new to me …

Need to search now which port contains that kcmshell4.
Is there perhaps another way to define the standard web browser at install time
in such a way that Safari would be used as the initial default?
Not every user might install all KDE ports - including konqueror - just to
install e.g. KMyMoney.

It must have worked to some degree, since the ICNS file contained the image
with size 128 pixels.
Well, although the big icon now exists in there the app still doesn’t show the
wanted icon in the doc - as KMyMoney does.
Something’s still missing.

No, I don't think so. If you can see the Help->Report Bug… menu item in your test app, it should work. The whole Help menu is standard kit in KDE apps. > Please, correct me if I am wrong there. I tried Help->Report Bug… and clicking on the "Launch Bug Report Wizard" button in the KDE application I am currently working on (Palapeli). It fails however I run it: Linux-style or Apple style. The older Palapeli which Macports installed for me also fails. In all three cases, an icon appears in the Dock (task bar equivalent) and vanishes too soon to see what it is. Additionally, I am finding messages on the Apple OS X Console log (see attached). Can a KDE guy tell Marko and me what is going wrong here? And perhaps where else to look to narrow down the problem? Any ideas? Regards, Ian W. PalapeliBugReport.log Description: Binary data >> Visit http://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-devel#unsub to unsubscribe <<

Simply giving KDevelop the missing icon is not yet enough to make it work in the dock and finder… :-( >> Visit http://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-devel#unsub to unsubscribe <<

I have found that the ports with an app icon on OSX actually do have an ICNS file installed: — $ find /Applications/MacPorts/KDE4 -name "*.icns" /Applications/MacPorts/KDE4/dolphin.app/Contents/Resources/dolphin_SRCS.icns /Applications/MacPorts/KDE4/kapptemplate.app/Contents/Resources/kapptemplate_SRCS.icns /Applications/MacPorts/KDE4/kdevelop.app/Contents/Resources/kdevelop_SRCS.icns /Applications/MacPorts/KDE4/kfind.app/Contents/Resources/kfind_SRCS.icns /Applications/MacPorts/KDE4/khelpcenter.app/Contents/Resources/khelpcenter_KDEINIT_SRCS.icns /Applications/MacPorts/KDE4/kmymoney.app/Contents/Resources/kmymoney_SRCS.icns /Applications/MacPorts/KDE4/kompare.app/Contents/Resources/kompare_SRCS.icns /Applications/MacPorts/KDE4/kuiviewer.app/Contents/Resources/kuiviewer_SRCS.icns /Applications/MacPorts/KDE4/kwrite.app/Contents/Resources/kwrite_KDEINIT_SRCS.icns /Applications/MacPorts/KDE4/lokalize.app/Contents/Resources/lokalize_SRCS.icns /Applications/MacPorts/KDE4/okteta.app/Contents/Resources/okteta_SRCS.icns /Applications/MacPorts/KDE4/umbrello.app/Contents/Resources/umbrello_SRCS.icns — KDevelop is the only one missing the 128x128 icon, which seems to be the reason for displaying the generic icon in dock if the app is not started. >> Visit http://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-devel#unsub to unsubscribe <<

Perhaps because there is no 128x128 pixel PNG yet?!
KMM has it, guess I’ll have to crosscheck the other apps or simply supply an
appropriate PNG resized to 128x128.

Re: Missing application icons of many KDE apps on MacPorts/OSX
And now I see that there is also this line in KMM’s cmake file: QT4_ADD_DBUS_ADAPTOR(kmymoney_SRCS org.kde.kmymoney.xml kmymoney.h KMyMoneyApp) which is most certainly also important for something… ;-) How would that have to be adapted to e.g. KDevelop? >> Visit http://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-devel#unsub to unsubscribe <<
Re: Missing application icons of many KDE apps on MacPorts/OSX
Hi Thomas,
I indeed can’t find the needed statement in any CMakeLists.txt file in
KDevelop’s sources:
—
$ find . -name CMakeLists.txt -exec grep -l KDE4_ADD_APP_ICON {} \;
$
—
I haven’t crosschecked with other apps from my long list, but I guess that
explains it.
Thanks again,
Marko
