Hi!
Hi,
1/ I also want to get the gui tools, but I either have missing dependencies or have used the wrong flags with autogen.sh (either is entirely possible - I'm not terribly familiar with the linux build tools). I've tried variants on: ./autogen.sh --enable-deskbar-applet --enable-tracker-search-tool --enable-tracker-preferences --enable-tracker-applet --enable-libtracker-gtk --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc but the build config summary reports only the deskbar-applet being enabled (see below). Have you installed the development packages of "glib-2.0", "gtk+-2.0", "dbus-1", "libgnome-2.0","libgnomeui-2.0" and "dbus-glib"? When some of those packages are missing, those components are disabled and the compilation doesn't fail. I think we should show an error if the option --enable-X is used (the user explicitly enable that option) and the required libraries are not present.
Yea, that's exactly how it _should_ work. Maybe it is broken.
2/ I'm also have trouble with the dbus interface. I've tried to call the Text method of org.freedesktop.Tracker.Search interface but it returns with "can't find method in interface with args xxx" type error. (On the other hand I can call GetVersion method from org.freedesktop.Tracker interface). This was code that worked for the version of tracker that shipped with hardy (0.6.6), but doesn't work on trunk... There is a small change in the DBus API. In 0.6.6, there were one Tracker object with 5 interfaces. Now we have 5 objects with one interface (per object). So, instead of connect to Object: org.freedesktop.Tracker Interface: org.freedesktop.Tracker.Search You should use: Object: org.freedesktop.Tracker.Search Interface: org.freedesktop.Tracker.Search The "Version" method is working because that interface keep the same name and object. To explore the DBus API of tracker, try d-feet (https://fedorahosted.org/d-feet/). It helps a lot to check objects/interfaces/methods/signatures.
This is good advise! :) We use d-feet to test our interfaces too, so I can fully recommend it too. -- Regards, Martyn _______________________________________________ tracker-list mailing list tracker-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/tracker-list
