Hi,
I have been trying to build and install the klash4 plugin on my Linux x86_64
system running KDE 4.2.2, to be usable in konqueror, without success so far.
Digging through the build and installation procedure, I came across a couple
of issues that I'd like to discuss here.
First of all, I could not spot any decent documentation describing konqueror's
plugin interface. Can anybody give a pointer?
Issue #1: The klash4 plugin is built as a libtool module, which produces three
files: libklashpart.a, libklashpart.la, and libklashpart.so. The static
library certainly is not required?
Issue #2: It is an established convention not to use a 'lib' name prefix for
loadable modules, shouldn't the 'lib' prefix be dropped?
Issue #3: The module loader code does not use libltdl and therefore does not
use the .la file, shouldn't it be excluded from the installation?
Issue #4: The module is installed in 'kde4/plugins'. On my system, there are
lots of other modules, all of which are installed in 'kde4', shouldn't the
klash4 plugin go there, too? I tried this, and konqueror apparently was able
to find and load it.
Issue #5: When run, konqueror displays the following error message:
-
konqueror(17573)/kdeui (kdelibs): No such XML file "klashpartui.rc"
Calling appendChild() on a null node does nothing.
-
I guess this is because the plugin does not have any gui elements to merge
with the containing application. Shouldn't a dummy file be provided, just to
avoid the error message?
thanks,
Thomas
