Hi Folks, I just checked out Akregator from SVN, looking forward to nibbling away on some bugs, and maybe working on a QT-SQLite archive backend. However, as the subject says, I am having a problem even getting the new checkout to compile. I checked out from svn://anonsvn.kde.org/home/kde/tags/KDE/3.5.1/kdepim/akregator and everything seems to download fine. I went into the akregator directory, and ran "make -f Makefile.cvs" I get the following two errors: make: Makefile.cvs: no such file or directory make: *** No rule to make target `Makefile.cvs'. Stop. if I run "make -f Makefile.am" I get the following make: *** No Targets. Stop. Running automake and autoconf don't seem to have any affect either. I'm sure this is something simple (or something related to my distribution which is Suse 10.0). All I'm looking for is hints. |

Good plan! If you have any questions, e.g. about the backend interfaces, just ask here, or on IRC: #akregator on freenode (e.g., irc.kde.org). Have you followed the recent thread "Akregator problem" on this list? > However, as > the subject says, I am having a problem even getting the new checkout to > compile. > > I checked out from > svn://anonsvn.kde.org/home/kde/tags/KDE/3.5.1/kdepim/akregator Better use the branch: svn -co svn://anonsvn.kde.org/home/kde/branches/KDE/3.5/kdepim tags/KDE/3.5.1 is what was released as 3.5.1 in a frozen state, branches is what will become 3.5.2, so bugfixes have to go there. > and everything seems to download fine.

Akregator depends on libkdepim, which depends on libkcal... To get a minimal build, you'd need to compile the following dirs in the given order: libkmime, libemailfunctions, ktnef, libkcal, libkdepim, akregator (see http://akregator.pwsp.net/blog/?p=25 for a dependency graph) But unless you are short of disk space and/or have a very slow processor, it's not worth the hassle.

Hi Frank, thank you very much for the help, my home-built kdepim is now up and running, with a stub in place for the QT-SQLite archive backend. I am probably not going to have much evening time to work on this, so I hope you weren't opening for a patch this week (grin), but I will be working on it as and when I can. I ran across the "Akregator problem" thread when I ran into the same issue, however, in my case, upping the number of files ran into a different issue (I was getting invalid QThread handles I think). Just to give you a bit of my background, I have been working on computers since the early 80's (I was around 13 when we got our first one). For the last 10 years I have been working with databases in one form or another (Notes, SQL Server, MYSql, Oracle, Objectivity) but this is my first time getting involved in an existing project (so I will probably have more beginner questions as I go). I've been using Akregator for about a year now, and like it quite a bit, but as with all software, there are occasional things that bug me. Speaking of beginner questions, for now I still feel more compfortable working in an IDE, any messages in the archives about developing for Akregator in KDevelop? Thanks for reading all this, and for (hopefully) putting up with my newbie-ness. Nigel |

The limit is increased to about 500 feeds now, so I hope most people won't run into this limit anymore. > Just to give you a bit of my background, I have been working on computers > since the early 80's (I was around 13 when we got our first one).

Great, then setting up db tables and some SQL queries should be no problem for you ;-) I created a (yet empty) wiki page, where I will (hopefully soon) outline the tables needed: http://akregator.pwsp.net/wiki/SQLDraft > Speaking of beginner questions, for now I still feel more compfortable > working in an IDE, any messages in the archives about developing for > Akregator in KDevelop? I use kdevelop as an editor (because I find it easier to navigate in a class tree than in a list of files), but do all things like compilation, installation and gdb stuff in plain konsole. I haven't got warm with the IDE features of kdevelop yet, especially for KParts and plugin stuff, I find it easier to manage things on konsole. I think make, make install should be the only "IDE features" needed for the SQL plugin, anyway... ;-) Frank |
