vim.tcz missing dependency libcanberra.tcz

[andrechalella]

Upon regular installation in Core Plus, vim won't run. It complains it cannot find some libcanberra file (I don't have the exact error message right now).

By loading libcanberra manually, the problem goes away.

Here is the current vim.tcz.dep:

Code: [Select]

ncursesw.tcz
gvim-base.tcz
There's a 2019 bug in vim's github about it, but I think it's unrelated, because it's about "vim tiny" -- I don't think this is ours, is it? I think I can't post links, but Google "libcanberra is linked with Tiny features build #4531".

dep file adjusted - thanks for reporting this.

Strange that the x86_64 version of vim does not need libcanberra..

weeeelll, why does vim depend on gvim?

weeeelll, why does vim depend on gvim?

Gvim-base contains non-executable files common to both vim and gvim. It's platform independent apparently, when I diff the 32 and 64 bit versions I get no differences. Vim.tcz and gvim.tcz are two separate builds and extensions so that X dependencies don't get pulled into the command line version of vim. The build dependencies are: gettext, fontconfig-dev, libXft-dev, xorg-server-dev, Xorg-7.7-dev, and gtk3-dev. Libcanberra is getting pulled in because libcanberra-dev is a dependency of gtk3-dev on 32-bit TC but not 64-bit. It would seem that libcanberra would need to be a dependency of gtk3 on 32-bit.

I try to keep the extensions between 32 and 64 bit the same. A few present some challenges.

[hiro]

so only gvim should be depending on gtk3 and thus libcanberra, right?

[andyj]

Right, but I've just recompiled it and it doesn't have the libcanberra dependency anymore. I'll need to recompile the 64-bit version to be sure, then I'll submit the updated extensions.
