== KRENAME ==
[[En/trinity_desktop_environment#Applications]]
'''Krename''' is a tool handy to rename file and directory names in one single step. New names can be generated either from scratch or combining parts from the original ones. Moreover it is possible to recur to regular expressions and wildcards when renaming. Krename may prove helpful when it comes to '''rename hundreds of files and directories at once''' for example to reorder photo, book or music file collections and more. '''Krename was ported to KDE 4''', but the release I'll introduce in the article is the '''Trinity Desktop Environment''' compatible one. Were You in need of some Krename 4 functionality, please refer to the official [http://www.krename.net/ project home page].
== Krename and Slackware ==
'''No Krename official package was ever distributed along the Slackware releases''' in the years. To obviate the problem the [http://slackbuilds.org Slackbuilds.org] project provides a '''build script''' to consent users in need to obtain a package from the source archive. To build the TDE 3.5.13.2 included Krename release a script was written from scratch following the project rules and conventions:
* Directory '''/opt/trinity''' was set as package root directory.
* Some missing makefiles were created running the '''make''' command from inside the main directory of the code extracted from the source archive.
* The source code '''was patched''' in order to '''solve a version mismatch issue with libtool''': the source code was configured for release 2.2.6, but 2.4.2 is installed along Slackware 14.0.
* No specific option was issued through the '''configure''' command as no one seems needed.
Some script lines of code and related comments follow.
Some configuration scripts required by the build procedure are missing from the source tarball. We create the makefiles using the make command:
# Prepare the package for building (Create the configure script).
echo "(II) admin makefile run here" >> ${OUTPUT}/${PRGNAM}_configure.log
make -f admin/Makefile.common \
2>&1 | tee -a ${OUTPUT}/${PRGNAM}_configure.log
A patch is needed to solve a '''libtool''' package version mismatch conflict:
# Patch the admin/ltmain.sh script in order to solve a version mismatch.
patch -p0 -i ${SRCDIR}/ltmain_version_update.patch
'''The script specifically sets Qt libraries paths''' in order for other scripts to find them at build time:
# Add temporary paths to handle new libraries during build
export QTDIR=/opt/trinity
export PATH=/opt/trinity/bin:/usr/bin:$PATH
export LIBDIR=/usr/lib${LIBDIRSUFFIX}
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib${LIBDIRSUFFIX}:/opt/trinity/lib${LIBDIRSUFFIX}
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=:/usr/lib${LIBDIRSUFFIX}/pkgconfig:/opt/trinity/lib${LIBDIRSUFFIX}/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH
Finally the script runs the '''./configure''' command to configure source code in accordance to the destination environment:
# Configure the package
LDFLAGS="${SLKLDFLAGS}" \
CFLAGS="${SLKCFLAGS}" \
CXXFLAGS="${SLKCFLAGS}" \
../${PRGNAM}-${VERSION}/configure \
--prefix=${PREFIX} \
--sysconfdir="/etc/trinity" \
--libdir=${LIBDIR} \
--mandir=${PREFIX}/man \
--with-qt-dir=${QTDIR} \
--with-qt-includes=${PREFIX}/include \
--with-qt-libraries=${PREFIX}/lib${LIBDIRSUFFIX} \
--disable-rpath \
2>&1 | tee -a ${OUTPUT}/${PRGNAM}_configure.log
Once the configuration successfully concludes, the script runs the make command then goes on with packaging the software.
A full script can be downloaded from the following [http://www.giustetti.net/resource/slackbuild/tde/35132/krename.tar.gz link]. The output package can be installed using command '''installpkg''' as usual in Slackware Linux.
