I am trying to build a Sailfish OS app, and I need to use *.wav files, which are to be distributed through the *.rpm package. In my case, these files are to be put in /usr/share/[application_name]/sounds/*. How do I set up the *.pro and *.yamp files accordingly?
This isn't a RPM question per se: you seem to be asking how to configure
your application through *.pro and *.yamp if you deliver content in
*.rpm packages.
The packaging answer is: Patch the configuration files exactly the same
as if you were installing the *.wav files manually (i.e. not through *.rpm).
You will need to copy the *.wav content into the %buildroot tree that
is used to stage the files to be included in the package, as well as the
modified *.pro and *.yamp content. All the files to be included in the
*.rpm package will need to be mentioned in the %files manifest exactly
as they are to be installed (i.e. w/o the %buildroot prefix used for
staging files while building).
I finally found an answer!
I want to thank to the owner of that project:
https://github.com/krig/metronom-sailfish
From the .pro and the .yaml files of this project i found out how to deploy the files. First, we declare that constant:DEPLOYMENT_PATH = /usr/share/$${TARGET} which seems to hold the path to /usr/share/[appname]. Next, we define some kind of a variable (TODO: find a more detailed explanation of that). The definition of that first sets the path to the files, for example, data.files = data (the second data is the folder). Next, we set data.path to $${DEPLOYMENT_PATH}. We list all the files in OTHER_FILES and add the setting, in our case, data, to INSTALLS. Now, that we are finished with the .pro file, we move to the .yaml file for the .rpm and we add to the necessary line to the Files: section, in our case, - '%{_datadir}/%{name}/data', the last being the folder we need to add. TODO: to whoever is more experienced, please provide a more detailed answer.
Did you check https://sailfishos.org/develop-packaging-apps.html carefully? May helps.

Question
a) How do we add library paths where the project should look for depended libraries in Qt Creator?
b) How are the settings in project >> Run >> Build Environment related to similar in .pro file? Does the environment variable listed there applies to .pro file as well (well they don't) so what are they exactly?
Context/Details:
Visual Studio has a various environment variables for folders where a project looks for include files, library files or executable files etc. This is rather confusing in Qt Creator and I havne't seen good documentation on it.
The only thing which is obvious is INCLUDEPATHvariable which points to the directories where to look for the include files (.h)
However how do I set the library paths, the path where it should look for dependent libraries/dlls etc? I can specify the exact library with LIBS variable in .pro file, there don't seem to equivalent of LIBPATH variable where it should look for other libraries if not found in current folder.
I have worked around this be adding library path the following way basically using LIBS variable but dropping the library file name and that seems to work and add the path but I don't see this documented anywhere.
LIBS += -L"$$_PRO_FILE_PWD_/Xerces/bin/"
But what makes things more interesting is the settings in Projects >> select 'Run' from current configuration and expand the Run Environment settings.
''
Here there is LIB variable and LIBPATH variable but there are clearly not .pro environment available. It also says here that these settings are local to user and saved in .pro.user file which perhaps suggest it's a different way to set but it doesn't say how to set them in .pro file but it does suggest to set them there if want to apply for all users!
Likewise there are DEPENDPATH AND VPATH and it is not really clearly what they are used for.
I don't have enough Rep to add comments to your question, So am adding my comment in form of answer. I am pretty new to Qt and have been developing Qt GUI application on Linux.
I set this LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable with the path to my Qt libraries. Am not sure how much it will be helpful to you since you are using visual studio on windows.
in Projects property go to Build Environment and add a variable with the libs path, example NAME_LIBPATH. So in the .pro file add the following:
# your lib configuration
LIBS += -L$$(NAME_LIBPATH) \
-llibname
I was given an Ada source file from a co-worker to include in an existing project. This source file wants to include the win32.ads which I see in c:\gnatpro\include\win32ada . But my installation of GnatPro doesn't look into this folder area, only the version-specific c:\gnatpro\6.2.2... I'm not sure what I need to change to force the build tools to see c:\gnatpro\include as well (if it was C/C++ I'd add -i).
Any suggestions on how to modify my build command to include c:\gnatpro\include ?
Add the environment variable ADA_INCLUDE_PATH=dir to include the folder into the build process.
I am working with sbt-thrift plugin 0.6 and SBT 0.12.
In my thrift files I have mentioned the namespace as below.
namespace java abc.xyz
//some
//thrift
//codes
But the generated files goes to
gen-java/abc/xyz
(gen-java prefix is added automatically). How can I change this into
abc/xyz
?
There is an -out <outdir> option which does exactly that. In your case, specify the current folder . as the outdir.
Note that, unlike with the automatically generated gen-* folders, the outdir directory must exist. In other words, you have to make sure the folder is created before calling the Thrift compiler.
The --help option gives more information about all the other switches.
Regarding SBT, if the information on https://github.com/bigtoast/sbt-thrift is true, then you should contact the author of that software to add the option thriftJavaOutputDir as it seems missing.
BTW, the question looks very much like a duplicate of How to change default settings of sbt-thrift plugin in SBT? I would recommend to NOT ask ten thousand copies of similar questions on SO.
I want to run two different Meteor apps on the same server (on different ports) but I want to change something in one of Meteor's core packages and I want one app to use the original package and the other app to use the modified one. How could I do it?
A bit more straightforward answer, based on answer from here :
Create packages folder in your project and change location to that folder ('cd yourproject' && 'mkdir packages' && 'cd packages')
Fetch files from git ('git clone https://github.com/YOUR_PACKAGE_ADDRESS' - you need to have git installed)
Inside fetched package folder find package.js and edit inside 'Package.describe' name value, for example by adding '-manually-modified'
Edit files you need to modify inside fetched package folder.
Add package to project (meteor add package-name-manually-modified)
You can get the package's files at the github repo : https://github.com/meteor/meteor/tree/master/packages
Fetch the files you want except the package.js files and add them to your project. Of note is you need to ensure their loading order sometimes so you might have to modify the file names, to have a look at the loading order have a look at package.js. By default meteor orders file by name but packages don't necessarily use that.
You can avoid renaming the files if you just mod the package and add it back using meteorite : https://github.com/oortcloud/meteorite

I have my packages in my user folder at its root as a hidden folder called .meteor.
Perhaps you can check there? On a mac it would be under:
~/.meteor/packages/your package name
You must also now go into a file there os.json, and change the "length" variable for the file you changed to match the new byte file size. Otherwise it might not compile, but try compiling first and see if its an issue that you changed some package code.
I have a bunch of JAR files (from a maven2 project) and maven reports some package could not be found (org.openanzo.client.jena to be exact). I want to dig into the JAR files downloaded as the result of maven dependency resolution and find what packages are thus available from these JAR files. Insights?
UPDATE: Apparently, the only good solution to inspect insides of a jar file is the "jar" utility or one can use the facilities of their IDE to do so.
jar tvf filename.jar will show you the contents of a jar file without requiring you to extract it.
But I think that maybe what you are really trying to do is find the right coordinates for the dependency that you are missing, since obviously none of the ones you have right now are supplying the package you are looking for (in other words, checking their contents is not likely to help you).
I confess that the first place I would suggest to check is Sonatype's public Nexus instance. A search for your example turns up nothing, though. Usually that means the project is not trying to get their stuff into Maven Central or other major repositories (which is okay), so you have to resort to a web search. Usually the first two sections of the package tell you where to look (openanzo.org in your case).
If you are on Linux or a Mac, you could go to the terminal at the root of the folder containing your JARs and type:
# grep -ri "org.openanzo.client.jena" *
It will return a recursive list of all JAR files that contain that package name. If it returns 0 results, then none of those JARS contain that package.
If you wanted to do a more exhaustive search, you could unJAR the JAR files. The directory structure and .class files will be organized by packages in folders.
# jar xvf filename.jar
If you are on Windows, you can unJAR a JAR file using a tool such as 7Zip.
#Carsten
you do not have to rename a .jar file to .zip. You can directly open the jar file in winzip/or other zip utility (assuming windows OS)
#ashy_32bit
try using "jar class finder" eclipse plugin from IBM. Simple plugin for finding classes (if you know the class name)
OR
as carsten suggested... set the jar files as lib files and manually look it up
OR
create a batch file called a.bat (where you have all your jar files directly under a single folder) and paste the following 4 lines
#ECHO OFF
dir /b *.jar > allJarFilesList.txt
FOR /F %%A IN (allJarFilesList.txt) DO jar -tf %%A > list_of_packages.txt
FOR %%B IN (list_of_packages.txt) DO FIND /I "com/sun" %%B
NOTE the "com/sun" in the last line.. it is hard coded, you can pass as argument as well...
I know this is very basic form and can be improved "a lot" like looking up in various sub directories.
hope this helps :-)
.jar files are just ZIP compressed archives, rename it to zip, open it with your favourite unzip programm, and traverse through the directory.
If you add the jar file to a eclipse project, you can traverse through the lib in th project explorer.
HTH
Assuming maven downloaded the jar files,the files will be loaded in to a local repository.
You could use maven browser that comes packaged with Eclipse to browse and search for artifacts in your repository.(usually in userdir/.m2/repository)
Note:You can explore your repository directly if you want. You will understand the packages that were downloaded. But I suggest using the plugin.
If you are using Intellij IDEA, each project contains a tree called External Library that allows you to search and explore your libraries.
