Example 003-DE build system: Mate

[ncmprhnsbl]

Hmmmm. I didn't check that one until you reminded me. Logically zenity doesn't work, and I can't find zenity-light. But I do remember that you already pointed me once in the direction of the yad-light alternative. I don't know if it will still be active. Anyway, it needs to be compiled with devel module via trizen or other AUR helper.

after a little look at it, the trick at this point is build/use an older version circa 3.41(or actually 3.44.3) with -Dwebkitgtk=false build option. a matter of adjusting a PKGBUILD. (i'll be looking into this for cinnamon. i can share my existing package if you like)
compilation directly with makepkg for these type of custom packages is just as easy too.

It would be nice to include 7z v. 23-10

i guess you mean v23.01 which is called 7-zip-full in the AUR?
and it looks like for engrampa to use it, a git build is required, or least 1.27 (arch packages 1.26) (like some other software the mate project designates version_ending_in_odd_numbers as the development or unstable releases)
again, a matter of adjusting the official PKGBUILD.
edit: although i'm not sure that'll work, it might need p7zip

here's a (untested) 'zenity-light' 3.44.3 PKGBUILD:

Hope someone will help me out. I ran my Mate today and this what I found today.



I didn't see it when I made the post the other day when I made it a week ago. Hope you understand this message.

Hope you understand this message.

looks like you're using adwaita icon theme. (or maybe not by the look of those folders)
1. is that the icon theme you want to use?
2. the icon theme you use will need a link to /usr/share/icons/kora/mimetypes/scalable/application-x-xzm.svg to have an icon for modules
eg.for adwaita (as root)

Code: Select all

# cd /usr/share/icons/Adwaita/scalable/mimetypes
# ln -s /usr/share/icons/kora/mimetypes/scalable/application-x-xzm.svg  application-x-xzm.svg
# cd /usr/share/icons/Adwaita
gtk-update-icon-cache -f /usr/share/icons/Adwaita

this might work for other icon sets that inherit some icons from adwaita, too.

[Jack]

Can I uninstall these 2 modules? If so what is the command line? If not I will try what you posted.

Code: Select all

adwaita-cursors-45.0-1
adwaita-icon-theme-45.0-1

[Jack]

gtk-update-icon-cache -f /usr/share/icons/Adwait

I try this but it didn't work. And I did it su and toor.

Code: Select all

[porteus guest]# gtk-update-icon-cache -f /usr/share/icons/Adwaita
gtk-update-icon-cache: Cache file created successfully.
[porteus guest]#

Most icon themes inherits the hicolor standard theme, so let's try the same but with the hicolor fallback icons:

# cd /usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/mimetypes
# ln -s /usr/share/icons/kora/mimetypes/scalable/application-x-xzm.svg application-x-xzm.svg

As a last option:
# ln -s /usr/share/icons/kora/mimetypes/scalable/application-x-xzm.svg /usr/share/icons/application-x-xzm.svg

[M. Eerie]

-D webkit2gtk=false

This results in an error.

hi M.Eerie, nemesis it have the arch repositories available so why don't pick zenity from the arch repo: or have i missed something...

Hi beny.

See the first post in the thread.

"So I don't want zenity pulling in gtk4 and all it's deps(that get's used by nothing) ... "

zenity 4.0.1-1 depends on libadwaita that in turn depends on gtk-4... Just by installing zenity the resulting module size is more than doubled.

My goal is to build a "mate-short" version.

[beny]

have you seen this link: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/adw-gtk3-git

[M. Eerie]

I don't know how I could link it to the zenity-light PKGBUILD posted by ncmprhnsbl.

My knowledge is very limited when it comes to compiling packages.

I did see that there is this version of zenity that avoids the fat dependency: webkit2gtk
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/zenity-git

[beny]

ok, i can try to build it and make a package, i have to switch to arch..

[beny]

ok, try if it is useful for you: https://www.mediafire.com/folder/j840djsf33b1g/adw-gtk3 inside two files
in nemesis seem that packages work, in setting we have only gtk3 option to adwaita

[Jack]

Most icon themes inherits the hicolor standard theme, so let's try the same but with the hicolor fallback icons:

Not sure what you want me to do?
