LaTeXila - an integrated LaTeX enviroment for GNOME

English Open Build Service (OBS)
#1

I am trying to build LaTeXila in my OBS home directory and it does not build correctly. I don’t understand the build errors. However the Fedora RPM installs fine so I have it up and running, but this is not really the right way I guess and I want to contribute to openSUSE. Can anyone help me?

Hi
%cmake isn’t a macro, just use cmake.

You might want to have a look at;
openSUSE:Build Service cross distribution howto - openSUSE

Also remove the rm -rf %{buildroot} from the %install section for openSUSE builds.

The update desktop files is incorrect for openSUSE, see;
openSUSE:Packaging guidelines - openSUSE specifically openSUSE:Packaging guidelines - openSUSE

icon updates are done via new macros;


%post
%desktop_database_post
%icon_theme_cache_post

%postun
%desktop_database_postun
%icon_theme_cache_postun

openSUSE uses a changes file now so the changelog entries need to be removed from the spec file…

Thanks for the quick help. I tried to work on the .spec file and to follow the openSUSE guidelines, but there is now a new error message that I don’t understand.

Hi
Have a look here;
http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Packaging_Conventions_RPM_Macros#.25suse_update_desktop_file

For your categories it’s just name1 name2 etc no “;” required.

I tried to change that, but still no successful build. Maybe it is something more severe?

Hi
No, just the order…

I’ve fixed you package there were a few bits missing, plus some
additional stuff that wasn’t needed. I created request id 74344 which
you should see in the WEB interface;
