I managed to rebuild the Ubuntu-package, but had some significant errors so I won't add the created RPM to this report. No spec-file either.

It seems like python is involved in the build-process somehow. Tried building with py makedist.bat, but it didn't work.

It seems to demand python-vlc or should I say python-module-vlc which is NOT in Mga1-repos,

The newest version now is 5.5.20, but it demands python-apsw & xulrunner-sdk. I'll try to build specs for theese packages.

New version out: 5.5.23.

5.5.24 released.

There's a new version out, 5.9.20. Having some trouble building it since swift is missing in the Mageia-repo.

A newer version of this lovely thing has been released, but Mageia lacks of some dependancies it demands according to the readme.txt in the /Tribler directory.

Here's a working spec-file from PCLinuxOS that I've successfully built with

Here's the Cauldron-created src.rpm from PCLinuxOS:

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/56935780/RPM's/Tribler/tribler-6.0.4-1.mga3.src.rpm

Here's the Cauldron-created rpm-package built from the above mentioned src.rpm & I've tested it locally in a VM & it works like a charm. ;)

Some comments:

* License: MIT - this page kinda disagrees: http://www.tribler.org/trac/wiki/LicensingTerms

* BuildRoot: is not needed..

* rm -rf $RPM_BUILD_ROOT in %install section is not needed

* The whole %clean section is not needed anymore..

* I'm not 100% sure but AFAIK %update_menus and %clean_menus are ran automatically so those sections aren't needed either..

* %defattr(-,root,root) - these are defaults applied by default so also not needed..

* %doc *.txt - you should be able to merge %doc's. I see no point to keep them on separate lines.

* Categories=Network;P2P;X-MandrivaLinux-Internet-P2P; - shouldn't there be something Mageia related?

* the name of the spec file is wrong it needs to be the name of the software not with the name of the distribution you find the spec file for.


ON the spec file:


 remove the first comment we don't care about this, if we need to restrict build on some arch it will be added as BuildArch:

* cd ../ after %make is useless


* use %buildroot instead of $RPM_BUILD_ROOT

*  %update_menus and %clean_menus are done by filetriggers so useless here.

New spec.-file

Correct spec-file this time to build with?

Attachment 3316 is obsolete: 0 => 1

are you sure that you want to cd in "cd /Tribler/SwiftEngine" ?


in the desktop file you need to removed the Encoding line

I suspect the build might break because Tribler needs Swift to work as intended.

are you sure of "cd /Tribler/SwiftEngine" ?

Not entirely. Even thou the dir exists in the tar-ball the build fails.

As I suspected, the build stops here:

make: *** No targets were specified and no makefile could be found.  Stoping.
error: Bad endstatus from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.vE00iK (%prep)


RPM-builderror:
    Bad endstatus from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.vE00iK (%prep)

try to think a little of what you are doing and you will find the pb. It is really easy to understand here. 

and btw you give 2 != outputs so we can't help you. On the output you added thes is no such "*** No targets were specified and no makefile could be found.  Stoping."

Yes, since I haven't added THAT new error...............YET.

I have learned that Tribler uses scons to build & not make as first assumed according to the pclos spec-file.

Here's the current %prep-section that I've made after reading this link ( http://www.rpm.org/max-rpm/s1-rpm-build-creating-spec-file.html ):

%prep
%setup -q
%patch0 -p0 vlc-1.0.5-swarmplugin-switch-kcc-src-aug2010-renum110-r16968.patch

Anything else I need?

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BylXOvzRGqyUNnpWNUZaQklYZ2M/edit?usp=sharing is a folder with prepared stuff to run tribler from source.

The only thing missing to make it run seems to be a missing module called constructor.

I used urpmf constructor to look for it, but no hits as a result.

Can anyone solve this?

I hope the link works.

Just run ./tribler.sh from /tribler-directory

BuildRequires so far is: python-netifaces libwxPython2.8-devel wxPython-tools (not sure) wxPython wxgtk2.8 wxgtk libtorrent-devel python-libtorrent-rasterbar python-m2crypto rpmbootstrap debootstrap (perhaps debootstrap is not needed, but install just in case) and finally python-apsw.

Here's the latest error related to my latest problem

the error says :
from Tribler.dispersy.decorator import Constructor, constructor
ImportError: cannot import name Constructor

so Constructor should be in Tribler.dispersy.decorator

not an external dependency

maybe you can find help by looking at the Debian package

Anything wrong with theese related lines? It's taken from the tribler.sh file in the main directory of my archive.

> Anything wrong with theese related lines? 
I don't think so
but be sure that you launch tribbler with correct PYTHON_PATH, as did in http://sources.debian.net/src/tribler/6.2.0%2Bgit20130731.149555fa-2/debian/bin/tribler

Didn't work. Same result.

(In reply to Kristoffer Grundström from comment #34)
> Didn't work. Same result.

Same results ?
same results with what ?
what did you did exactly ?
did you really setup PYTHON_PATH to the location where you have your tribbler install ?
If you have tribbler in ~/tribler-directory
then you really need to have in your launch script something like:

#!/bin/sh
# Startup script 
_TRIBLERPATH="~/tribler-directory"
export PYTHONPATH="$PYTHONPATH":$_TRIBLERPATH
echo "Starting Tribler..."
cd $_TRIBLERPATH
exec python -O Tribler/Main/tribler.py "$@" > /tmp/$USER-tribler.log 2>&1

of course, set up path as need.

Sorry, can't help more, I don't have time for that.
but really, you should carrefully look at the Debian package and try to build yours from there, obviously you did something wrong, and all your indications about what you did or not or what you are actually testing are not clear for me.

Hi,

(Asking in several package requests at the same time:)

BugSquad has too few active members to take proper care of package requests, so we need to ask you to check some things yourself.

Please check in http://madb.mageia.org/ whether this package was already imported in cauldron, or whether there's another package with the same functionality that you can use.

If so, then please close this bug report, or, if the package isn't available in Mageia 5, change this report into a backport request.

If it is not available in cauldron, and there is no alternative that you can use, then please confirm that you still need this software.

Thanks,
Marja
