Skylendar 1.3 on SUSE 9.3
by Wolfgang Kutscherauer - Aug 6th 2005 09:56:21
Hello,
i used all the tips from this page.
I could compile it, create the database and skylendar started but i was
unable to connect to the database.
Are there any needs with postgres?

Round 2
by Jeff Milton - Jul 25th 2005 08:26:39
this is the 2nd time I have tried to compile Skycalendar... i agve up two
years ago afrer days/weeks of trying to figure it out. Now i'm at it again
freshly armed with Ubuntu 5.04 running KDE.
I start with
./configure --with-qt-dir=/usr/share/qt3 ... ok, this worked, which is
farther than I got last time.
root@apt:~/src/skylendar-1.2# make
...
make[3]: Entering directory `/home/jw/src/skylendar-1.2/skylendar'
/usr/bin/dcopidl ./astroprocess.h > astroprocess.kidl || ( rm -f
astroprocess.kidl ; /bin/false )
In line 38 : syntax error, unexpected T_EXTERN_C, expecting T_TILDE
make[3]: *** [astroprocess.kidl] Error 1
(insert many, many errors here)
if I run the offending line alone....
root@apt:~/src/skylendar-1.2/skylendar# /usr/bin/dcopidl ./astroprocess.h
<!DOCTYPE DCOP-IDL><DCOP-IDL>

<INCLUDE>dcopobject.h</INCLUDE>
<INCLUDE>qobject.h</INCLUDE>
<INCLUDE>qstring.h</INCLUDE>
In line 38 : syntax error, unexpected T_EXTERN_C, expecting T_TILDE
Now i'm stuck because I have no idea ho to fix this!!
<from yacc.cc.h>
00063 T_TILDE = 289,
00068 T_EXTERN_C = 294,
<astroprocess.h>
38:extern "C"
39:{
40:# include <time.h>
41:}
Has anyone else had this problem?
This is one of the more unfriendly apps I have ever tried to get running
:(
Does anyone have a compiled binary they would be willing to share?

Building and running
by Dave - Sep 14th 2002 20:09:14
Has anyone gotten this software to work? If so, where is the documentation
that would help me get it going? I don't think I DESERVE to use this
software because I cannot glean the clues from the DESERVEWARE file. Does
this software work or is it just a bunch of pretty screenshots? Is the
DESERVEWARE idea okay with the GPL?

I have no idea... I've tried this software twice, and gave up both times.
The author is truly bitter about this "deserveware" thing, and it seems as
though he'd rather NOT provide documentation. Besides, I'd prefer to use
MySQL, and not Postgres--but he doesn't develop 'that way', and I'd rather
not spend the time on helping his devlopment if he's just going to be,
well, bitter. Does it matter if it complies with GPL if no one can get it
to work?

Re: Building and running
by Joel Vandal - Jan 29th 2003 20:12:46
I've not tried this software yet but it's based on Astrolog 5.40. I've
found the famous password for the Cities database... a hint... first name
Henri and it's a french author.
I will lookup the source code on spare time but It's true that the mysql
support is a leak :(
(sorry for my bad english)

The charts are loosely based on astrolog, but its guts are 100% new. :)

Re: Building and running
by Kenelm - Mar 9th 2004 18:19:26
I have succesfully built the binary of skylendar 1.3 in a Fedora Core 1
environment, and decrypted the cities database (since the author himself
says info can be shared, the key is 'gouchon' as in Henri Gouchon).
HOWEVER - I still can't run the thing. Obviously my knowledge of
PostgressSQL is somewhat lacking as I still can't use the database having
decrypted it, and the program won't start without it!
If anyone else has got to this point I would like to hear from them. I
hope this software is worth the pain !

i finally got this to compile, actually to run it you dont
need the cities database, there is a database already
that is not encrypted, to make it work do this:
mkdir /usr/local/pgsql/data
chown postgres /usr/local/pgsql/data
initdb -D /usr/local/pgsql/data
su postgress
createdb astro
createuser
createlang plpgsql sky
psql -f skylendar-1.3/skylendar/pg_en.sql astro
psql -f skylendar-1.3/skylendar/pgadd_en.sql astro
then you can run skylendar, however i have not been
very lucky, cause the program crashes this is the
message i get:
[New Thread 16384 (LWP 9262)]
0x41370a86 in waitpid () from /lib/i686/libpthread.so.0

#9 0x080e2582 in AstroApp::AstroApp(int, char**) ()
#10 0x080e2ccc in main ()
I wish someone could help me with this.
also when i start the program i get this message in the
console:
WARNING: KLocale: trying to look up "" in catalogue. Fix
the program
WARNING: KLocale: trying to look up "" in catalogue. Fix
the program
any help will be apreciated
it took me a lot to get here, and now i am clueless :((

I managed to get this app working on a linuxfromscratch 5.0 source based
distro. I do remember having a similar crash as posted above. It seems the
'make install' doesn't copy everything needed over to the kde directories.
There are some icon files and other files mentioned in the documentation
that need to be in the $KDEDIR/share/apps/skylendar directory. If this
doesnt help send me an email and i'll do what I can to get you up and
running.
HTH

line 718 in swemplan.c change from "if (pname != NULL)" to "if (pname !=
NULL && plan_fict_nam[ipl] != NULL)" to remedy the strcpy error. The name
of the font file is skylendar.pfb that needs to be copied to ~/.fonts/. If
you get Astrolist errors, the changes to that set of issues are too
numerous to list here.
