libreoffice 3.5 - scm extension request
Jason W:
I don't see why loading gdk-pixbuf2 should have made a difference as all the libs and files are present in the gtk2.scm extension. I did create the loaders file for gtk2.scm though that did not help, but it should be there anyway. For now installing gdk-pixbuf2.tcz will be the workaround.
netnomad:
thank you for your contributions and thoughts.
but one thing no one mentioned...
is there a way to get scms in the ondemand-menu of the windows-manager?
or what's the easiest and fastest way to load a scm ondemand?
thank you for your hints and ideas.
Jason W:
I have tried several things, and libreoffice uses the gtk2 theme when run as root without gdk-pixbuf2.tcz installed, but not as user.
When I build a package natively into /apps/pkgname all seems to work as expected. But using a prebuilt binary can run the risk of some things being expected in certain places, like gdk-pixbuf2. If I had time, I would just build all packages outright into /apps, but I am one person and I don't have the time resources to build every app with deps right now, though most everything works as is and may need a little workaround, like installing gdk-pixbuf2.tcz.
Maybe one day if others are involved in scm package creation, we can build everything from source like with the tcz's and that could eliminate some of these unexpected results.

Small OT.
I'd like to know how to do but (apart from a tight time) I think it's out of my ability.
Rather one day I knew how to do it I would not hesitate to make them.
Jason W:
It is fairly simple with the 'buildscm' script, it exports the variables needed and the build scripts for the packages themselves are include files that will build it and it's dependencies. The command "buildscm emelfm2-sc.inc /apps/emelfm2" is used to build emelfm2, once the emelfm2 include file named emelfm2-sc.inc is made and gtk2.scm installed, or rather the development tarball in the repo named gtk2-dev.tar.xz is unpacked into /apps.
It just takes a time of course, which I had a bit of in Dec and Jan, but lately and in the near future not so much, but that's life. In a few weeks things should lighten up and I will get back into compiling scm's. Though I do look forward to others building some scm's, I have to admit I have enjoyed sort of having the playground to myself for a while.
