MrProject 0.9pre

[Mikael Hallendal]

Hi!

We just uploaded a new preview of MrProject. It's called MrProject
0.9pre and can be downloaded as tarballs here:
ftp://ftp.codefactory.se/pub/mrproject/unstable/libmrproject-0.9pre.tar.gz
ftp://ftp.codefactory.se/pub/mrproject/unstable/mrproject-0.9pre.tar.gz

We'll put up RPMs later and Mikael Andersson has said he'll put .debs up
as soon as possible.

This pre-release includes Printing, Custom properties support for Task
view, Resource view and Project and Milestone tasks.

Please try them out and let us know what you think and if you find bugs.

Regards,
MrProject Team

Hi

That's excellent news!

Now I need a little help building it...
When doing the 'make install' for libmrproject, I get:

[***@Kronk libmrproject-0.9pre]# make install
Making install in mrproject
make[1]: Entering directory
`/root/libmrproject-0.9pre/mrproject'
cd . && \
--prefix=mrp_marshal mrp-marshal.list --body >>
xgen-gmc \
&& cp xgen-gmc mrp-marshal.c \
&& rm -f xgen-gmc xgen-gmc~
/bin/sh: line 1: --prefix=mrp_marshal: command not
found
make[1]: *** [mrp-marshal.c] Error 127
make[1]: Leaving directory
`/root/libmrproject-0.9pre/mrproject'
make: *** [install-recursive] Error 1

I had the same problem when compiling from cvs
yesterday. Looking back in the list archives, I see
that problem isn't new, but I also didn't see a
resolution.

I just upgraded to RedHat 8.0, and glib-genmarshal is
installed at version 2.0.7...

any tips?

tnx!

Hmm .. No idea what's causing this?

Have you been able to solve it?

We've seen this before, and I *think* that we came up with a solution...
I can't find any mails about it though :/

Hi folks,

I just upgraded to Gnome 2.2 using Garnome, and tried recompiling
MrProject from cvs. It worked! This was hardly a scientific study,
but it seems like the problem I had noted previously with mrp-marshal
is remedied by the update to 2.2 (as opposed to the Gnome 2.0 that
RedHat 8.0 ships with).

Interesting. I wonder if anyone has been successful compiling
MrProject with Gnome 2.0 (at least since v0.8pre of MrProject)?? I
wonder if its not a real dependency for compiliation, but I somehow
fixed it as a side effect of something I did during my upgrade?

I just went back and looked at the problem you were having (sorry -- I
had more or less ignored the mail when it first came up). For some
reason, things were failing int he AM_PATH_GLIB_2_0 macro that is run as
part of 'configure' and it was not setting the GLIB_GENMARSHAL test.
This _may_ have been apparent from a very careful examination of the
output of 'configure', but only after you already knew what the cause
was, I suspect.

So, this isn't some magic build problem that the guys have fixed
recently. Something was slightly broken with your previous setup and it
was not picking up all the GLib requirements correctly. In particular,
this command

pkg-config --variable=glib_genmarshal glib-2.0

was failing for some reason. If people see this problem in future, we
need to get them to run that particular command and check that it really
fails and then fix things so that it works.

(I am mostly just writing this out so that it appears in the archives,
since Richard mentioned it had appeared before).

Cheers,
Malcolm

While compliling mrproject-0.10pre I ran into this problem again. I
checked back in the output from the ./configure, and found the
problem. I neglected to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH before running the
./configure.

So thank you, Malcolm, for pointing out the source of the problem!

... and for posterity, if anyone searches these archives because they
had the same problem, I set my LD_LIBRARY_PATH thusly:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$GARNOME/lib:/usr/local/lib

I use garnome to build the latest gnome desktop, so
GARNOME=/root/garnome.

Debs for debian unstable now exist. Add this to your
/etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://www.mikan.net/~mikan/debian/unstable ./
deb-src http://www.mikan.net/~mikan/debian/unstable ./

The version on the debian packages is: 0.8pre09-1

Sincerely

Hi,

There are RPMS and SRPMS of 0.9pre now, you can get them at:

ftp://ftp.codefactory.se/pub/software/mrproject/RedHat/8.0/unstable

ftp://ftp.codefactory.se/pub/software/mrproject/RedHat/SRPM/unstable

Hi,
ftp://ftp.codefactory.se/pub/software/mrproject/RedHat/8.0/unstable
ftp://ftp.codefactory.se/pub/software/mrproject/RedHat/SRPM/unstable

There are at least ~5 rpm dependencies
which I can't provide with original packages of Mandrake Linux 9.0.
If I try to install some of new versions found on the net,
I have to resolve new dependencies and so on.

Could you not automatically generate
either a static linked i386 RPM
or a static linked binaries tar.gz
as an alternative for old distro (6 months old) ?

Hi!

First, this is development snapshot, they are thought to be for trying
it out.

Second, there are Mandrake RPMs for 0.8 in cooker so you should be able
to get all the dependencies along with last released MrProject from
there.
