How to install?

[Fabian42]

Similar to #17: I have no idea how to install this. I also guessed to enter sudo make (install), but that just gives this output:

xxd --include urn-gtk.css > urn-gtk.h || (rm urn-gtk.h; false)
/bin/sh: 1: xxd: not found
GNUmakefile:23: recipe for target 'urn-gtk.h' failed
make: *** [urn-gtk.h] Error 1

There is no file called something with "make" in the downloaded zip (also visible here on Github). There's also no script that I can see. What do I do to install this?

[ghost]

It's make then sudo make install, in case you meant something else, I realize you asked this a while ago.
It worked for me but this project seems abandoned so I may try to work on my own alternative that doesn't rely on gsettings.

[Fabian42]

Since this was a long time ago, the system doesn't exist anymore on which I tried to install this. So I made a Debian VM. First issue: libgtk+-3.0 is not a package in Synaptic (or apt-get). How to install it?

[ghost]

I don't use Debian, but have you tried libgtk-3-dev? It may be this package: https://packages.debian.org/sid/libgtk-3-dev

[Fabian42]

Worked!

Next: x11. There's no package with that name, but I have 20 packages installed that start with x11, so I guess that works, too? If no, please tell me, if yes, someone please update readme.

Next: libjansson: I have libjansson4 installed, I guess that's what is meant by that.

Next: make. Output:

cc `pkg-config --cflags gtk+-3.0 x11 jansson` -Wall -Wno-unused-parameter -std=gnu99   -c -o urn-gtk.o urn-gtk.c
Package jansson was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `jansson.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'jansson' found
urn-gtk.c:8:21: fatal error: gtk/gtk.h: No such file or directory
 #include <gtk/gtk.h>
                     ^
compilation terminated.
<builtin>: recipe for target 'urn-gtk.o' failed
make: *** [urn-gtk.o] Error 1

Sounds like that "jansson" package was not the right one maybe. So what now?

[ghost]

Can you also install the dev package for jansson: https://packages.debian.org/sid/libjansson-dev
It may be needed on Debian to compile.
However it seems you also have an error with trying to find the gtk/gtk.h header. If it happens, you may need to modify the Makefile and add -I/usr/include/gtk-3.0/ to the CFLAGS variable.

edit: btw I found a fork of this project with added features and fixes, as well as instructions for a Debian installation in the README: https://github.com/xPMo/urn/tree/master

[Fabian42]

After installing libjansson-dev, this is the output:

cc `pkg-config --cflags gtk+-3.0 x11 jansson` -Wall -Wno-unused-parameter -std=gnu99   -c -o urn-gtk.o urn-gtk.c

Then on sudo make install:

cp urn-gtk /usr/local/bin
cp urn.desktop /usr/share/applications
for size in 16 22 24 32 36 48 64 72 96 128 256 512; do \
  convert urn.svg -resize "$size"x"$size" \
          /usr/share/icons/hicolor/"$size"x"$size"/apps/urn.png ; \
done
gtk-update-icon-cache -f -t /usr/share/icons/hicolor
gtk-update-icon-cache: Cache file created successfully.
cp urn-gtk.gschema.xml /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas
glib-compile-schemas /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas
mkdir -p /usr/share/urn/themes
rsync -a --exclude=".*" themes /usr/share/urn
/bin/sh: 1: rsync: not found
GNUmakefile:26: recipe for target 'install' failed
make: *** [install] Error 127

What? rsync? Why would I need to install a cloud download/upload software?

Anyway, I installed it, then the output changed to:

cp urn-gtk /usr/local/bin
cp urn.desktop /usr/share/applications
for size in 16 22 24 32 36 48 64 72 96 128 256 512; do \
  convert urn.svg -resize "$size"x"$size" \
          /usr/share/icons/hicolor/"$size"x"$size"/apps/urn.png ; \
done
gtk-update-icon-cache -f -t /usr/share/icons/hicolor
gtk-update-icon-cache: Cache file created successfully.
cp urn-gtk.gschema.xml /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas
glib-compile-schemas /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas
mkdir -p /usr/share/urn/themes
rsync -a --exclude=".*" themes /usr/share/urn

Now Urn actually appears in the menu as a program, yay! Readme should definitely be updated a lot.

Next problem: I start it and it opens a file selection dialog. Why? What should I select? I can also close the file selection window, then I get a black square and a "File" menu with open, save, close, etc. But no "new" or anything that sounds like I could start timing stuff.

[ghost]

The file selection dialog is to select a splits json file to open. You can test it by opening sotn.json in the splits folder. Otherwise, you have to make your own splits file using this json format.

[Fabian42]

Awesome, seems to work great! I also installed it on my real computer now, worked fine as well.

But only in the default configuration. The readme says I need gsettings, which is indeed a command, but it doesn't tell me how to use it. I've tried stuff like gsettings --schemadir wildmouse.urn list-schemas and a few others, it always tells me:

Could not load schemas from wildmouse.urn: Failed to open file 'wildmouse.urn/gschemas.compiled': open() failed: No such file or directory

[ghost]

gsettings list-keys wildmouse.urn
But even I struggled to use gsettings to change the configuration keys and ended up modifying urn-gtk.gschema.xml and recompiling.

[Fabian42]

Seems to work fine for me:

fabian@debian:~$ gsettings get wildmouse.urn global-hotkeys
false
fabian@debian:~$ gsettings set wildmouse.urn global-hotkeys true
fabian@debian:~$ gsettings get wildmouse.urn global-hotkeys
true

Thank you a lot for your help! Now the only thing left to do is updating readme so that other people don't get the same issues.

When I try to compile I get

Error: 4 unsupported relocations
Error: 4 unsupported relocations
convert: MagickCore/opencl.c:1495: CopyMagickCLCacheInfo: Assertion `pixels == info->pixels' failed.
/bin/sh: line 1:  3944 Aborted                 (core dumped) convert urn.svg -resize "$size"x"$size" /usr/share/icons/hicolor/"$size"x"$size"/apps/urn.png
make: *** [GNUmakefile:28: install] Error 134

multiple times, however an executable is created, and when run it, I get

(urn-gtk:4021): GLib-GIO-ERROR **: 16:36:02.832: Settings schema 'wildmouse.urn' is not installed
fish: “./urn-gtk” terminated by signal SIGTRAP (Trace or breakpoint trap)

I'm completely clueless

[ghost]

For the error during compilation, this is because imagemagick is needed but the developers forgot to specify it as a dependency.

For the error during runtime, try to install gsettings-desktop-schemas.

[ptkato]

I have both packages installed already.

[ghost]

I'm unsure for the compilation error, I don't understand what makes imagemagick crash, but I don't think it's quite important since it's only installing the icon.
For the runtime crash, according to this github issue, running glib-compile-schemas /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/ as root could fix it.
I can't help much besides googling those error messages for you, I don't know GTK+ well.
