timer-applet failed load to panel

configure flags?

[perberos]

I remember that problem, but I do not remember the solution. Its on the rpm/configure flags.

[raveit65]

configure
--disable-scrollkeeper
--disable-static
--enable-mixer-applet
--enable-polkit
--enable-ipv6
--disable-cpufreq
--enable-timer-applet

[raveit65]

include the automatic rpmbuild flags for x86_64 it looks like this

./configure --build=x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu --host=x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu --program-prefix= --disable-dependency-tracking --prefix=/usr --exec-prefix=/usr --bindir=/usr/bin --sbindir=/usr/sbin --sysconfdir=/etc --datadir=/usr/share --includedir=/usr/include --libdir=/usr/lib64 --libexecdir=/usr/libexec --localstatedir=/var --sharedstatedir=/var/lib --mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info --disable-scrollkeeper --disable-static --enable-mixer-applet --enable-polkit --enable-ipv6 --disable-cpufreq --enable-timer-applet

[stefano-k]

why ./configure and not autogen.sh ?

[raveit65]

For building rpm's i've to use ./configure for getting the automatic flags.
This is necessary!
That's the way to build rpms!
I use
NOCONFIGURE=1 ./autogen.sh
./configure
--disable-scrollkeeper
--disable-static
--enable-mixer-applet
--enable-polkit
--enable-ipv6
--disable-cpufreq
--enable-timer-applet

NOCONFIGURE=1 to avoid double configure work in the build prozess.

Edit:
If i build without ./configure all files are in /usr/local because the automatic flags are missing.
Trust me, for rpm-based distros you need ./configure

[raveit65]

It seems to be that the build process ignore the libexec prefix in
/mate-applets-1.3.1/timer-applet/data/TimerApplet.server.in.in

oaf_server iid="OAFIID:TimerApplet_Factory" type="exe" location="@LIBEXECDIR@/timer-applet"

But after building i have in usr/lib64/matecomponent/servers/TimerApplet.server

oaf_server iid="OAFIID:TimerApplet_Factory" type="exe" location="/usr/lib64/mate-applets/timer-applet"

That's strange because with all the other applets the @LIBEXECDIR@ prefix work well.

[raveit65]

I did it!
There is wrong code in mate-applets-1.3.1/timer-applet/data/Makefile.am
Changing to

$(server_in_files): $(server_in_files:.server.in=.server.in.in) Makefile
sed -e "s|@LIBEXECDIR@|$(libexecdir)|" $< > $@

fix the issue.

[raveit65]

do you agree with me that the problem is in the code?

[stefano-k]

yes,
fixed ba4817c
thanks
