What happened with Gambas IDE?

[raregazz]

Gambas IDE 2.16 is in the repos but nothing happens when installs in Sabayon 5.2.

Spanish forum doesn't know anything, please tell me how to install this app.

Thanks in advance.

Hola, raregazz. ¿Que tal?

The Portage maintainers pulled the Gambas ebuild from Portage.

However, you can get the latest ebuild as follows:

Download the ebuild for gambas-2.16.0.ebuild from the following mirror:

http://piotrkosoft.net/pub/mirrors/gent ... 6.0.ebuild

Then go to the Gentoo Bugzilla Bug Report No. 302136 page and download the diff file gambas-2.20.0.ebuild.diff and use it to create the new ebuild for version 2.20.0 in a local overlay:

/usr/local/portage/dev-lang/gambas/gambas-2.20.0.ebuild

Then download from the same Gentoo Bugzilla page the file gambas-2.20.0-FLAGS.patch and put it in the directory:

/usr/local/portage/dev-lang/gambas/files/

Then create a manifest for the package using the ebuild command, and finally merge the package using the emerge command. Don't forget to do an emerge --sync && layman -S beforehand.

Hello Fitzcarraldo.

I downloaded the file http://piotrkosoft.net/pub/mirrors/gentoo-portage/dev-util/gambas/gambas-2.16.0.ebuild and the diff file with the patch, but I don't know how to do to make the new ebuild for version 2.20.0 in a local overlay.

I make the /usr/local/portage/dev-lang/gambas/ directory and I put the 3 files inside.

Code: Select all

raregazz-laptop gambas # ls
files  gambas-2.16.0.ebuild  gambas-2.20.0.ebuild.diff  Manifest
raregazz-laptop gambas #


I add this line to make.conf

Code: Select all

PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage"

I create de manifest with

Code: Select all

raregazz-laptop gambas # ebuild gambas-2.16.0.ebuild manifest

Also...

Code: Select all

emerge --sync && layman -S

and then, I don't know more to do... (How should I create the gambas-2.20.0.ebuild?)

Code: Select all

raregazz-laptop gambas # emerge -pv gambas

Many thanks and sorry for my poor English

Well, you could have used Google to find out how to apply a diff file, which is what I have just done now. Actually, if you look inside the diff file, this particular diff file is so simple that you could edit the ebuild file manually. See the line with the minus sign in front of it? That means "replace this line in gambas-2.16.0.ebuild with the line after it here with the plus sign in front of it". See the the line with the plus sign in front of it? That means "put this line in gambas-2.16.0.ebuild to replace the line shown here with the minus sign in front of it".

But, to do it automatically (I'm assuming you downloaded the files to your Desktop), you could use the commands:

Code: Select all

# cd /home/raregazz/Desktop
# patch < gambas-2.20.0.ebuild.diff
# mv gambas-2.16.0.ebuild gambas-2.20.0.ebuild

Delete the diff file that you copied to the /usr/local/portage/dev-lang/gambas/ directory, as that should not be there. The purpose of the diff file is to show the difference between the files gambas-2.16.0.ebuild and gambas-2.20.0.ebuild.

You need to build the latest version of Gambas (gambas-2.20.0) so why did you create a manifest for the old version 2.16.0?

Here's what you should have done after you created the file gambas-2.20.0.ebuild, either by manually editing it or by applying the diff file, assuming the files are on your Desktop:

Code: Select all

# mkdir -p /usr/local/portage/dev-lang/gambas/files/
# cp /home/raregazz/Desktop/gambas-2.20.0.ebuild /usr/local/portage/dev-lang/gambas/
# cp /home/raregazz/Desktop/gambas-2.20.0-FLAGS.patch /usr/local/portage/dev-lang/gambas/files/
# cd /usr/local/portage/dev-lang/gambas
# ebuild gambas-2.20.0.ebuild manifest
# emerge -1v gambas

Before you do the above, make sure that the file /etc/make.conf contains the line:

Code: Select all

PORTDIR_OVERLAY="${PORTDIR_OVERLAY} /usr/local/portage/"

While you're at it, also add the following line in case Gambas requires a licence agreement:

Code: Select all

ACCEPT_LICENSE="*"

And, just to get rid of Portage's nagging about a missing name for your local overlay:

Code: Select all

# mkdir /usr/local/portage/profiles
# echo "local_overlay" > /usr/local/portage/profiles/repo_name

I have not tried to build Gambas myself, so I don't know if it will build.

[raregazz]

Thanks for yor reply and sorry for "diff patch".

I' ve make all you said but impossible to install.

Code: Select all

raregazz-laptop gambas # emerge -1v gambas

I am desperate, I don't know more to try.

Thanks man!

Just to see what happens, before we try to sort through the problem with the 2.20.0 version, try to build the 2.16.0 version using the original gambas-2.16.0.ebuild downloaded from the site I gave the link for earlier:

Code: Select all

# cd ebuild /usr/local/portage/dev-lang/gambas
# cp /home/raregazz/Desktop/gambas-2.16.0.ebuild /usr/local/portage/dev-lang/gambas/
# ebuild gambas-2.16.0.ebuild manifest
# emerge -1v gambas

[Fitzcarraldo]

Looking quickly at your error messages, some other things to try:

Code: Select all

# USE="-gtk qt3" emerge -1v gambas

Code: Select all

# USE="-gtk" emerge -1v gambas

Code: Select all

# USE="-qt3" emerge -1v gambas

Code: Select all

# USE="qt3" emerge -1v gambas

[Fitzcarraldo]

Looking at your error message again and Comment #6 in the Gentoo Bugzilla Report that I linked to earlier, you also have to switch off the xml USE flag, so add "-xml" into the list of USE flags before the emerge command.

[raregazz]

Thanks Fitzcarraldo for your answers...

I tried all possible combinations that you told but it's impossible.

Neither 2.16 , 2.20. I think that the problem resides in qt3 libraries that aren't available (¿incompatibility?) in Sabayon 5.2 version.

Otherwise many thanks for your comprehension and help.

I desist of installing this great IDE in Sabayon. The solution will be to install another distribution with VBox to work there with Gambas 2.20.

Thanks and best regards from Spain.

[Fitzcarraldo]

OK. Due to the Eyjafjallajokull volcano eruption I'm stuck half way around the world from home, so it's not a good time for me to look at it in more detail at the moment. When I eventually manage to get home I'll have another try, to see if I can find a way to get it to build. Until then, saludos.
