Re: running GTK

[bill-auger]

there is something wrong with the arch package - someone 
should open a bug report - it is indeed missing GTK.star
and a few others; but according to the published build
recipe, those files should be present - probably you can
just grab the PKGBUILD and run makepkg on it

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/archlinux/svntogit-community/packages/smalltalk/trunk/PKGBUILD


diff between compiling from source (left)
and the package in the arch repos (right)

$ diff <(ls /usr/share/smalltalk/*.star) \
       <(pkgfile -lq smalltalk | grep .star | sort)
3d2
< /usr/share/smalltalk/BloxGTK.star
6d4
< /usr/share/smalltalk/CairoSDL.star

diff between a package built using the published arch PKGBUILD (left)
and the package in the arch repos (right)
(these should be identical)

$ diff <(ls pkg/smalltalk/usr/share/smalltalk/*.star | sed

       <(pkgfile -lq smalltalk | grep .star | sort)

if the program is designed to run only if installed properly, then
that is how it's developers work on it - the developers would never
have a package installed - they would probably be developing in a
clean dev environment, not an "every-day" use system

  # edit code
  $ make && sudo make install && test-it
  # repeat
