problems with meld

Hi Juanito,

I gave it the old college try but, oddly, the same error message appears as before, which is:

--- Quote ---Couldn't set the locale: unsupported locale setting; falling back to 'C' locale
Meld requires GTK+ 3.20 or higher.
--- End quote ---
I saw no obvious errors during setup.py build or setup.py install --root=/tmp/pkg
I studied your 32-bit TCZ, used your tce.installed/meld file, and I found a few places where you edited the desktop file for the icon, and checked against submitqc --nonet.  After all that I think I made a good Corepure64 TCZ.  As an after thought, even though I have only Corepure64, is it possible I might be rebuilding a 32-bit version, as in a problem with default compiler flags...?

I have gtk+-3.24.13 so it seems that the version check isn't working or is a false failure.  Wondering if you have any additional suggestions?

On a related note, the meld home page mentions "meson" so I looked at http://tinycorelinux.net/11.x/x86/tcz/src/meson/ but it seems to be about "krb5".  Not sure if that is expected.

thx as always!
Billy

Hmm - looks like fat fingers, fixed now.

Maybe you were missing one of the run time deps - anyway, meld posted.

Rudock1:
Thanks very much. I bumped into the following error which I fixed with a tweak to the
/usr/local/share/applications/org.gnome.meld.desktop  by adding sudo on this line

Again, really appreciate your continuing support.

Juanito:
I just tested meld on a clean reboot of CorePure64 and didn't see any warning or errors messages at all when run using the default C locale from a terminal window.

You should not need to run meld as root - I suggest you delete /home/tc/.local/share/meld, check that /home/tc/.local/share is owned by tc:staff and try again.
