Using Lightweight2 right now......fast little browser and no problems yet.I already used Arora occasionally anyway so no problem using it in Polarpup.

Polarpup-001 with Qt4-4.8.0 libs inbuild

#78 Post by Billtoo »

@pemasu

I did manage to compile vlc in polarpup and made a pet of it, playing
audio worked fine but as soon as a video is loaded it locks the
computer up so it's back to square one I guess.
The new2dir script is not working in the polarpup devx,installwatch_lucid-1.6.1.pet
that 01micko made fixes it.
I'll try again and upload it if I'm successful, don't know when that
will be of course.

Billtoo. Thank you of your huge effort in this VLC project. Will you be succesfull or not, I will appreciate this hugely. I grant you with Grand Master of Polarpup virtual nomination right now. You can bow virtually and accept this highly appreciated title.

And thank you of that new2dir bug fix pet. I remember when that struggle was in lucid devel thread, but since I dont use new2dir at all, I forget to implement the fix. I use plain commands, strippkg (included in my builds), splitpkg (included).
The compiling commands vary so much and QT have its own set for compiling like qmake and cmake, so I dont trust new2dir enough. Also locales has so different folder namings that splitting locales often needs manual steps also.

I am right now compiling Firefox. Billtoo, you were right, I need to include more dev-libs to the devx sfs. Lets see if I am succesful. If I am, I will post my steps so other people can try it with latest 5.X Firefox also.

Lol. I launched the freshly build Firefox-5 and I saw the name Aurora. My mind translated it as Arora. It took several relaunching before I understood that code name for this development build is .....Aurora, lol.

My compiling time notes copied from Notecase which I use for notetaking. Yes, I do my Puppy Linux notes in english and here is also a lot Playdayz notes from his Firefox compiling thread.

My needed extra libs:
libasound2-dev
libpthread-stubs0-dev
libx86-dev
libx11-dev
libxt-dev
mesa-common-dev
libgl1-mesa-dev
libsm-dev
x-dev
libice-dev
perl-modules
http://packages.ubuntu.com/natty/i386/yasm/download

2. Download Firefox source code
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/ ... /releases/ >>take biggest number

download -> firefox.source.tar.bz2

2b. Also download and install yasm, which is necessary for Firefox to support webm video.
http://packages.ubuntu.com/natty/i386/yasm/download

Webm test files -> http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic ... &t=1919639

3. Unpack the source code:
Code:
# tar -xjf firefox.source.tar.bz2

(Don't try to use Xarchive--it takes forever)

4. Open the unpacked folder and open a terminal in that folder
(right-click in the folder background and choose Window -> Terminal Here), in console execute next rows:

export CFLAGS="-O3 -march=native"
export CXXFLAGS="-O3 -march=native"

./configure --prefix=/usr --disable-dbus --disable-hal --disable-crashreporter --enable-strip --enable-application=browser --disable-libnotify

make -j4 (for quadcore)

make install DESTDIR=/mnt/home/firefox-5

Next I need to strip unneeded stuff out and make a pet, but that is another story.

First time when I have compiled Firefox. I packaged it using Playdayz great Firefox pet as template.
Anyway, this is compiled in Polarpup. Might be working.

Conclusion. VLC package in first page is not fully functional. Luckily my compiled Smplayer and Umplayer works fine. Support for Tano will be lost with those but you cant get everything.
Well, anyone can try that vlc sfs and give error reports but I am now sure that it does not work fully.

About compiling VLC in Polarpup. I wish luck and determination if somebody wants to do it.
I will use Smplayer and Umplayer atm.
I compiled a new vlc-1.1.10-i686.pet and I enabled some more stuff, snapshot,and some codecs.I don't know if it supports the subtitles that you want and I have no way of testing because I don't have that type of avi file.

Compiling vlc in Polarpup is a nogo, the devx is about 30mb smaller than lucid 525, in my experience anyhow.

Billtoo, thanks for the new vlc. where can download?

Had Tano working somewhat, could get channel program names with schedule times. I'm convinced tano does not stream but records and you then can play back. It says is recording but then can't find the recorded file.

After changing gtk colors saved and started Tano it crashed. This is the first time got this error so here it is.

code:
# tano
QGtkStyle was unable to detect the current GTK+ theme.
libvlc-qt "0.4.0--git" initialised

@pemasu

I wasn't able to get a working vlc pet compiled in polarpup but this link is to the one that I made in lucid525, it's big and I doubt that it will fix your subtitles problem but it has some extra codecs enabled and also snapshot which allows takes a screenshot of a running video (pretty nice)

http://www.datafilehost.com/download-7cbfb49e.html

I'm taking a rest from trying to compile vlc in polarpup.

Billtoo. Thank you hugely of your effort. You did your best and that is enough.
I did test your latest VLC. It worked again in my brief test. Subtitles...well...they still dont work, but I still suspect that main reason is the wrong location of Qt libs regarding of compile time location.
It misses after /usr/lib/libQtCore.so but played video at short test.
I stripped it and splitted it to main, dev, doc and nls packages and uploaded them to the ftp site under Pets_Gt4
http://www.smokey01.com/pemasu/Pets_Qt4/

The main vlc-1.1.10-i686 is about 5 Mb.

The problems with subtitles. I dont know if this is part of problem:
Blocked: call to setlocale(6, "")
(process:4289): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library.
Using the fallback 'C' locale.
But this is:
[0x830f074] subsdec decoder error: cannot convert from ISO-8859-10: No such file or directory
[0x810815c] signals interface error: signal 17 overriden (0xb6cc4130)

I think I solved how to get Qt applications to use present gtk theme. There wasnt need to install libgnomeui or gconf stuff. I had already enough of them installed. There is though need to feed one theme manually before the Qt applications starts to use gtk themes, like below command executed in console:

Code: Select all

gconftool-2 --set --type string /desktop/gnome/interface/gtk_theme Polished-Blue
In attached pet is the needed fix for /root/.xinitrc and pinstall.sh which executes above command.
So install the pet and restart X to be sure. Now you should have gtk themes applied to the QT applications also.

Hey pemasu, works for me!

Jim3630. Great news. I suppose you had gtk style selected in qtconfig or you tested the behavior after selecting gtk style.

I retuned originally Sheepy`s posted GUI interface for xcompmgr. It creates menu entry to the Desktop section.

Xcompmgr is already installed in Polarpup.

both, gtk preselected, qtconfig then recognized it, changed gtk style saved to qtconfig and no errors.

Since I am not satisfied with QtWebbrowser I compiled freshly Firefox-5.0. It is still Aurora but this is the real one. Well, I am Firefox man, though I just installed Playdayz`s compiled SM2 in Ice Puppy...and almost liked it. It was sure fast enough for me. But Firefox.....
Compiled in Polarpup.

And if you want nice collection of Puppy links, install attached bookmarks file. History > Show all history > Import and backup > restore > choose file your downloaded file.

If your browser collection is not yet full, here is real perl. Small, but real fast and in quick test looks promising.
And it is little smaller than Firefox.
