+ | ====== Installing gEDA rpm packages on SuSE ====== | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Available rpm packages ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | * geda (1.6.1) | ||
+ | * gerbv (2.3.0) | ||
+ | * pcb (20091103) | ||
+ | * ng-spice-rework (20) | ||
+ | * gnucap (0.35) | ||
+ | * gspiceui (0.9.98) | ||
+ | * gwave (20090213) | ||
+ | * gtkwave (3.3.3) | ||
+ | * dinotrace (9.4a) | ||
+ | * verilog (0.9.1) | ||
+ | * wcalc (1.1) | ||
+ | * xgsch2pcb (0.1.3) | ||
+ | * electronics-menu (1.0) | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Installing Packages from the SuSE Build Service ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | - Start Yast and go to “Change Installation Source” | ||
+ | - Add a HTTP source with the following properties: | ||
+ | * **Servername:** software.opensuse.org | ||
+ | * **Directory:** /download/repositories/science/openSUSE_11.0/ (Choose the directory for your distribution) | ||
+ | - Start “Install Software” in Yast, goto “Search” and look for gEDA. All packages appear. | ||
+ | - Install the packages as usual. | ||
+ | |||
+ | For more informations read the [[http://en.opensuse.org/Build_Service/User | generic installation notes]] of the [[http://en.opensuse.org/Build_Service | OpenSuSE Build Service]] | ||
+ | |||
+ | You can also browse through repositories first: | ||
+ | [[http://software.opensuse.org/download/science/openSUSE_11.0/repodata/ | openSUSE_11.0 repo]], | ||
+ | [[http://software.opensuse.org/download/science/openSUSE_11.1/repodata/ | openSUSE_11.1 repo]]. | ||
+ | [[http://software.opensuse.org/download/science/openSUSE_11.2/repodata/ | openSUSE_11.2 repo]]. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Distribution specific notes ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Each distribution version has it's own issues. Please read the notes below. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== openSUSE 11.0 ==== | ||
+ | * ... | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== openSUSE 11.1 ==== | ||
+ | * currently no electronics menu, all programs show up in the Education->Science menu | ||
+ | * ... | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== openSUSE 11.2 ==== | ||
+ | * currently no electronics menu, all programs show up in the Education->Science menu | ||
+ | * ... | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Desktop Integration ===== | ||
+ | This is a summary how the gEDA and other electronic packages are integrated into the desktop of openSUSE. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Electronics Menu ==== | ||
+ | Unfortunately the openSUSE distribution does not provide a electronics menu entry for all the nice gEDA programs. | ||
+ | Peter Clifton has created a menu entry for electronics. This menu package is available in the **electronics-menu** rpm. | ||
+ | It contains the menu item and some icons for it. The menu category is called **Edutainment**->**Electronics** in openSUSE. | ||
+ | |||
+ | If it is installed, it looks like this in KDE (manually combined with gimp): | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{geda:suse_electronics_menu.png}} | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Notes about rpm spec file ==== | ||
+ | openSUSE calls it's //SuSEconfig// program after every installation of rpm packages with YaST. | ||
+ | Thus it's not necessary to integrate all configuration calls into the //post// and //postun// rpm sections. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The only additions in the spec files are for the //Shared MIME Info//. It is described in this openSUSE [[http://en.opensuse.org/Packaging/SUSE_Package_Conventions/Specific_Packages#10.1.3._Shared_MIME_Info|SUSE_Package_Conventions/Specific_Packages]] | ||
+ | article. | ||
+ | |||
+ | PreReq: shared-mime-info | ||
+ | [...] | ||
+ | |||
+ | %post | ||
+ | if test -f %{_bindir}/update-mime-database ; then | ||
+ | %{_bindir}/update-mime-database %{_datadir}/mime >/dev/null | ||
+ | fi | ||
+ | |||
+ | %postun | ||
+ | if test -f %{_bindir}/update-mime-database ; then | ||
+ | %{_bindir}/update-mime-database %{_datadir}/mime >/dev/null | ||
+ | fi | ||
+ | |||
+ | Another addition is required to install the mimelnks properly in the KDE environment. | ||
+ | KDE does not take care of the mimelnks installed in //%%/usr/share/mimelnk/%%//, thus they have to be copied to | ||
+ | the KDE directory //%%/opt/kde3/mimelnk/%%//. This is done in the rpm spec file inside the %install section | ||
+ | |||
+ | %install | ||
+ | %makeinstall | ||
+ | kdemimedir=$(kde-config --install mime) | ||
+ | if test %{_datadir} != $kdemimedir ; then | ||
+ | mkdir -p $RPM_BUILD_ROOT$kdemimedir | ||
+ | mv $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{_datadir}/mimelnk/* $RPM_BUILD_ROOT$kdemimedir | ||
+ | rmdir $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{_datadir}/mimelnk | ||
+ | fi | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Installing rpm packages manually ==== | ||
+ | For those who don't use YaST for installation the SuSEconfig command has to be executed manually after installing or removing any rpm package. | ||
+ | You can either call the toplevel SuSEconfig command | ||
+ | |||
+ | /sbin/SuSEconfig | ||
+ | |||
+ | or call only the two required subconfiguration tools | ||
+ | |||
+ | /sbin/conf.d/SuSEconfig.desktop-file-utils | ||
+ | |||
+ | which calls | ||
+ | |||
+ | /usr/bin/update-desktop-database | ||
+ | |||
+ | and | ||
+ | |||
+ | /sbin/conf.d/SuSEconfig.gtk2 | ||
+ | |||
+ | which calls | ||
+ | |||
+ | /usr/bin/gtk-update-icon-cache --quiet --ignore-theme-index --remove-empty-cache "$SUBDIR" | ||
