Re: Etoile and PopplerKit

[Patryk Laurent]

Hi Dan,

I'm happy to report that I got the latest Etoile + GNUStep working under Ubuntu 12.04, with a few fixes required.

I've posted the procedure to a wiki page:

http://wiki.gnustep.org/index.php/EtoileOS_under_Ubuntu_Linux

I can mention my fixes on the etoile-dev list in case anyone wants to make them into patches.

Thanks!

Patryk

Hello Dan,

This was on Ubuntu 13.10.

Good point about packages moving around;  let me pause here try this out on 12.04.

Let's see about getting a desktop up and running... 

Thanks,

Patryk

I was trying to build Etoile for the first time, but got several compilation

offending lines ("When in doubt/Comment it out") and documenting the process

as I got along.

Hi Patryk,

Which version of ubuntu? (12.04, 13.10?)

I ask because ubuntu packages, imvho, tend to shift around in terms of
their names and what they can do. (That's my impression anyway, although
i have not kept any records :( )

Thanks for documenting the process and hope you succeed and it becomes
easy to install an Etoile desktop system. (Again, imvvho, what gnustep
needs is a desktop.)

However, PopplerKit seems to be having some major issues.

Is there some way to build Etoile without PopplerKit? PopplerKit seems

woefully out of date... and I see email discussions from Feb 2013 with no

resolution on how to get it working.

Thank you,

Patryk
