Would it be possible to write a jhbuild module set for the svn and tarball bits?

@Martin, done! Have a look at http://maemo.org/maemowiki/HildonDesktopPortability now. :-)

I seems it's autogen.sh instead of autogen

But I can get further than the first step. When trying to build maemo-gtk-2-10 it fails with the next error.

file=./`echo hy sed 's,.*/,,'`.gmo \
&& rm -f $file && /usr/bin/msgfmt -c -o $file hy.po
hy.po:160: number of format specifications in 'msgid' and 'msgstr[1]' does not match
/usr/bin/msgfmt: found 1 fatal error
make[2]: *** [hy.gmo] Fout 1
make[2]: Map '/home/swatje/Projects/N800/maemo-gtk-2-10/po' wordt verlaten

Please mail me for further testing

Ok, everything seems fine, I just had to time make a couple of times, and it builds further.

I will tell you if I get an other problem

@Cauwe, I’ve fixed the problem in Maemo GTK+ build. The guide is updated with autogen.sh also. Thanks!

I had to install libesd0-dev too, before I could compile hildon-1.

In last message I ment “I just had to type ‘make’ a couple of times”

For hildon-deskop I installed dbus-glib-1-dev

but it still doesn't build:

I get the following error:

@Cauwe, fixed! Could you try now? Thanks!

There seems to be a copy past error;
one of the 2
svn co https://stage.maemo.org/svn/maemo/projects/haf/trunk/hildon-theme-cacher

should be:
svn co https://stage.maemo.org/svn/maemo/projects/haf/trunk/hildon-theme-tools

I also think that there is a 't' from 'tar' missing in the line for extracting the icons for non debian users.

Next problem i get with jhbuild. First after installing jhbuild in my home with make install, the directory /home/swatje/bin is still not in my search pad.
So I have to execute:
swatje@Titan:~/Projects/N800/jhbuild_modules$ /home/swatje/bin/jhbuild -f ./hildon-desktop.jhbuildrc -m ./hildon-desktop.modules build

instead of just:
jhbuild -f ./hildon-desktop.jhbuildrc -m ./hildon-desktop.modules build

After that I get an error.

Traceback (most recent call last):

@Cauwe,

I’ve fixed the page. The “ar” is tool for managing archives and the suggested command works fine.

About your jhbuild issues, I generaly replace “bindir=$(HOME)/bin” with “bindir=$(HOME)/.bin” in the Makefile of jhbuild, and add ~/.bin to my $PATH in ~/.bash_profile. :-)

The error you’re getting when running jhbuild is because the files (hildon-desktop.jhbuildrc and hildon-desktop.modules) are not being found. You can provide a full path to the files to make sure they’re found by jhbuild.

Thanks!
