Jhbuild support integrated

[PCMan]

Hello,
I just applied the patches provided by Veeti.
Now the whole lxqt can be built with jhbuild.

Please use the new jhbuild config files here.
https://github.com/lxde/jhbuild

If you don't use jhbuild, everything still works as before and was not affected.
Thank Veeti for the patches.

ehrm,

how is it expected to work, please?

It checkouts read-only working copy from github here. No cloning from git.lxde.org. And mainly - url specified for lxde.org is not an url of "developer" checkout (unable to commit again).
Should I take it as a read only tool for packagers/end users?

Just because I find to work with many independent repositories one by one as a mission impossible ;)

Also how is that jhbuild "install" tree used in testing? I'd expect issued with QSettings here (but maybe is this part reworked already) as QSettings expected hardcoded path to /etc/... (different per distro).

So should I set all these env vars as in jhbuildrc + PATH + LD_LIBRARY_PATH and then run xephyr (or something similar) with lxqt-session? Or is there something easier?

thanks,
petr

Detailed instructions here:
https://developer.gnome.org/jhbuild/unstable/getting-started.html.en#getting-started-bootstrap

Jhbuild creates a locally installed environment for ease of testing only.
So, the programs are NOT installed to the system and will NOT
overwrite the installed old versions.
It's mainly a tool for the developers to test different branches or
the latest code without screwing up your system.
To really build and install the components, it's not the right tool.

This can be fixed by changing one url in the config file.
I haven't change it to git.lxde.org yet. Fixing it is easy.

I guess it's in ./install/etc? Jhbuild does a local install.

To run a locally installed DE:
jhbuild -f jhbuildrc run install/bin/startlxde-qt

To avoid typing -f jhbuildrc everytime, you can copy the file to
~/.config/jhbuildrc.

FYI: I added new set of config files into the jhbuild repo. These files operate with git.lxde.org repositories with developer-writable URL.
jhbuild-dev-rc is the main script for this set of repositories.

cheers,
