[Gpg4win-devel] Building Kleopatra / KDE and current Git installer on Debian Squeeze

[Andre Heinecke]

Hi,

I wanted to add a little Patch kleopatra and updated the old kde/gpg4win 
buildscripts to work again with KDE in git and gpg4win in git and a lot of 
other software that changed over the years :) You can find the updated 
scripts at [1]

Ideally on debian squeeze you should now be able to install the dependencies 
[2] and just run:

mkdir gpg4win && cd gpg4win
svn co svn://anonsvn.kde.org/home/kde/branches/work/gpg4win/scripts
cd scripts/debian-xcompile
./make-all.sh

And everything would be honky-dory. But, as we do not live in an ideal world 
there are, of course, some pitfalls:

1. Glib: I've needed a newer build version as there is only version 2.24 on 
debian squeeze which does not contain the glib-compile-schemas tool needed to 
cross compile glib 2.32.0 that is used by gpg4win.

2. Glib again: I've run into the same Problem Colin Leroy mentioned before 
with __imp__pthread_mutex_lock and also had to swtich to gcc-mingw32

3. Boost: Software including boost 1.34 (like kleopatra) does not build with 
gcc-4.4 There was a Python script attached to the bugreport of boost [3] 
which I could modify to fix up the boost headers that are provided by the 
kdesupport package.

4. gtk: I've needed to add --disable-cups to the gpg4win_pkg_gtk_configure 
variable. Otherwise it would fail because cups.h was not installed in the 
target prefix but it did find cups-config. I've commited a fix for this.

5. Kdelibs: The kdelibs configure test for HAVE_STRCASESTR_PROTO fails on the 
native build step but on compile time you get an error because kde then 
redifines strcasestr. I could not figure out quickly what was wrong there, 
probably different compiler options during build / configure time. I just 
hacked it locally for me.


That was it. The rest of my problems are fixed in the beforementioned scripts 
[1]. I Hope the experince of my build odyssey helps someone that might run 
into the same issues ;) . In the long term I would really like to integrate 
the qt/kdelibs/kdepim build for kleopatra in the gpg4win installer scripts 
using more up to date versions of the software.

Regards,
Andre
