LeoK Posted August 12, 2005 Report Share Posted August 12, 2005 I am trying to install the Linspire Clear theme onto Mandriva 2005 LE. The source can be found on a link on this page: http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php?c...ad&tan=97529096 I know the title says it's an RPM for suse, but there is a link to the source in the comments. However when I download it there is no ./configure file in the tar ball. So how and I suposed to install it? Has anyone got a Mandriva RPM for the Linspire Clear theme? Thanks for you help, Leo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyme Posted August 12, 2005 Report Share Posted August 12, 2005 is there an autogen.sh? if so, run that: ./autogen.sh then you should be able to ./configure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeoK Posted August 12, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2005 Nope there is not one of those, there is a ./configure.in.in, but that will not run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyme Posted August 12, 2005 Report Share Posted August 12, 2005 i'm at home now, i'll grab the package and take a look at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyme Posted August 12, 2005 Report Share Posted August 12, 2005 right...i don't see any way to compile this. i say contact the guy who packed it and tell him his package is missing a configure script, and that you can't build it. it's simply broken!

bvc Posted August 12, 2005 Report Share Posted August 12, 2005 (edited) suse installs to /opt...mandriva to /usr It is not supposed to compile as it is not a source pkg. Use the rpm at your own risk, or get the tgz and manually put things in there rightful place. If the rpm works (and I'd like to know....I don't have kde), put it up at kde-look for others, just give me credit for re-packaging it for mandriva (so...its name isn't right....oh well). ;) http://kwh.kernow-gb.com/~bvc/theme/test/L...11-2.noarch.rpm http://kwh.kernow-gb.com/~bvc/theme/test/L...eClear-1.11.tgz Edited August 13, 2005 by bvc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvc Posted August 12, 2005 Report Share Posted August 12, 2005 (edited) k, I just booted le2005 and the rpm installs correctly but I like I said, I do not have enough of kde installed to actually test it. Enjoy! Edited August 12, 2005 by bvc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvc Posted August 12, 2005 Report Share Posted August 12, 2005 what the hay...I'm been meaning to do it anyway so I installed 20 or so rpms and gave it a whirl. The rpm works http://kwh.kernow-gb.com/~bvc/theme/screen...eclear-test.png Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeoK Posted August 13, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2005 Hmm, out of interest how were you able to create the RPM from tha source without ./configure? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvc Posted August 13, 2005 Report Share Posted August 13, 2005 In ubuntu it can be done 2 ways. 1. Use alien to convert the rpm to a tgz, edit the directory structure for mandriva, use alien to to convert the tgz back to an rpm. This is the one I used. 2. Use file-roller (archive manager) to uncompress the rpm, edit the directory structure, close the archive. It is just a theme, no source is needed. You can't optimaize graphics for an arch so what would be the point? Optimize a lib/theme file (.so) for an arch? Again, pointless and nothing to gain even if it is an engine or something.

HJ Posted August 14, 2005 Report Share Posted August 14, 2005 I am trying to install the Linspire Clear theme onto Mandriva 2005 LE.

Thanks for you help, Leo <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Since tyme is such a noob and couldn't figure it out ( =P ) for those that don't use rpm and can't find a package for their distro, you compile that source ( http://software.linspire.com/pool-src/los/...spire0.1.tar.gz ) using... make -f Makefile.cvs ./configure --prefix=`kde-config --prefix` make make install Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyme Posted August 14, 2005 Report Share Posted August 14, 2005 <-- NOOB :unsure: the guy needs to fix his package anyways, it refers the user to the INSTALL file, which is just the standard one - referring the user to ./configure - so I was half right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where's the INSTALL file? I don't see one. If this is true then I need to fix the mandriva rpm http://kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=27730 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyme Posted August 14, 2005 Report Share Posted August 14, 2005 it's in the README file of the source package Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvc Posted August 14, 2005 Report Share Posted August 14, 2005 (edited) Oh, sorry, I thought the suse rpm referenced an INSTALL file. I see what you mean about the source. What HJ said isn't in the INSTALL file and and there's no autogen or configure.....so I agree....source pkg is broken.
