Stask from rpm not working

English Programming/Scripting
1

I have small issue, while upgrading to KDE 4.3 RC1 i lost stask, by lost i mean it didn’t show up in the panel and didn’t work at all. So i went to kde-look.org Someone posted a patch for it, i applied it to header and cpp files.
Issue: installing by make then make install works like a charm but silly thing is that on my home repo using THE SAME source package it doesn’t work, it builds fine etc. but it doesn’t work at all!!

What could be the reason?? Could anyone help me with that? Could anyone look at the spec file if there’s anything wrong with it?? It’s on my home OBS BenderBendingRodriguez.

Hi
The only thing is to compare the build outputs to see if there are any
differences, also check it’s the four files being installed?

PS, you should really include the patches/changes to the original
source, not re-package manually edited files etc into a tarball.

Yes, four files as are installed. The same? as if i would install with make & make install.

Hi
Yes, if you do a manual make/make install do you see only four files
installed?

Next it would look at comparing each with md5sum, then run strace on
each to see whats up.

If your still having problems, can you provide details on the patches
you applied?

The patch is on kde-look.org, it was provided by a person, i looked at it to check what changes it makes, all it did was changed some classes name (one got changed or renamed) so i renamed them as per the patch. I wonder what is different between building it on OBS and my system. Maybe the rpm’s are somehow broken or something?

P.S. Someone reported earlier before the patch about that change.

Hi
Does seem strange, maybe strace the application and it may shed some
light. Maybe the flag options, do you set those when manually building?

I didn’t set anything special besides using the same thing as in install insctructions for stasks. I used spec file from stask from KDE 4 Community repo but it shouldn’t matter or should it? (I just removed one patch note in the spec file and left everythng else intact).

Hi
If you look at the build log from the OBS, you see the following flags
set, this is the only thing that may be causing the issue that I can
think of.


+ export 'CFLAGS=-fmessage-length=0 -O2 -Wall -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2
-fstack-protector -funwind-tables -fasynchronous-unwind-tables'
+ CFLAGS='-fmessage-length=0 -O2 -Wall -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2
-fstack-protector -funwind-tables -fasynchronous-unwind-tables'
+ export 'CXXFLAGS=-fmessage-length=0 -O2 -Wall -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2

+ CXXFLAGS='-fmessage-length=0 -O2 -Wall -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2

One thing is coming to my mind, buschmann on the Community KDE 4 repo applies patch by using a diff file while i was using the whole file, nevermind this, i don’t need to build it anymore but thank You for your valuable time and knowledge. You helped me anyway. Thanks!!
