Elementary OS Plank

Hi. One of the best dockbars is this one of Elementary OS. His name is Plank. Is there anyone who could try to port it? It is similar with this of Mac OS and it's amazing!
 
Hi,

In the past, I worked on this port, see my private repository:

Be careful, they are outdated (new LIB_DEPENDS syntax, and header, etc.). MASTER_SITES must refer to launchpad.net, and you need to install x11-toolkits/gtk30. But feel free to take maintenance.

With Xfce, you must activate the compositor, otherwise you'll get a black background behind dockbars.
 
The problem is that stack on gobject-introspection. It says that it needs version 1.8 and we have 1.36 so that is not going further.
 
By many programming standards, version 1.36 is newer than 1.8. These are not treated like normal decimal numbers, the portion after the decimal is considered a whole number. So 36 is greater than 8. If version 1.80 is needed, it would have that trailing zero.
 
I think I'm close to having Plank at least fully building. AFAIK I have all of the dependencies built and installed, but am running into Plank itself finding both the GTK-2.0 and GTK-3.0 headers and getting confused. Hopefully will have something to show soon :D

When you made it, tell me. Isn't just the best dock ever made? Also can you create a port of plank?

When I have something actually working I'll definitely be posting it here. Right now I'm working on Plank, so yes there will be a port when I'm finished. Ultimately I'd like to get most of the Elementary OS DE ported over, but I would like to have a fully Docky vs vanilla Plank.

EDIT: That should read: "Docky". :OOO
 
Another update:
Spent some time tonight working on Plank. I can now build, but cannot run. Here is the output:
Code:

The problem being of course:

Obviously I have something goofed up where GTK+2.x and GTK+3.x are being used. Any tips appreciated!

It's not clear which program you are trying to execute, but ldd(1) will show the shared libraries used by a given program/executable. Can you pastebin more of the build output? And also post your Makefile(s)?

This is when attempting to run plank. Getting the dependencies for Plank to build requires a lot of libraries and Makefiles -- which are you interested in? When I get home tonight I can post the output of the Plank build itself if that would help. I'll also check out ldd on plank.
 
Here is the output of ldd /usr/local/bin/plank: Pastebin

Suspicious:
Code: 
ldd /usr/local/bin/plank | grep gtk
	libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0 => /usr/local/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0 (0x80136d000)
	libgtk-3.so.0 => /usr/local/lib/libgtk-3.so.0 (0x8034f2000)
 
Here is Plank in my repo. Warning: It's still a bit messy with some hardcoded paths :beergrin

Let me know if you need anything else to offer clues.

I have ported/installed everything you listed, but perhaps one of them is messed up. AFAIK the only issue right now is the double link of GTK+ (2 and 3).

I updated my own ports of sysutils/bamf and x11-wm/plank. Feel free to use.

Everything compile fine under FreeBSD 9.2 (not tested on 10). I added libwnck3 in LIB_DEPENDS macro instead of USE_GNOME, because this port is not yet in ports tree, and I don't want to update Mk/bsd.gnome.mk.

Sorry in my previous comment, I mistook devel/libgee and devel/libgee06.

Don't use port, hosted by @NuSkooler, it's obsolete.

@olivier: Which portion of my port is obsolete? It's essentially the latest Plank with patches. Since you have a working copy, I'll probably re-do mine based on your work, but that was the original starting point for me anyway.

I'm still chasing the issue of the double GTK+ linking on my box. I don't see where the extra library is coming from. Plank itself brings in the libraries I mention above, but lddtree does not show any others. Yet, my Makefile does not mention GTK+2.

Tonight I'll re-sync from your repo and see how it looks on my end. If we have similar goals here (and to this point, I think we do) perhaps we can divvy up some work.

Concerning libgee. In ports tree, we have 2 ports:
- devel/libgee06, old API 1.0
- devel/libgee, new API 0.8 (don't ask why)

If you search libgee library on your system like that:

Code: 
ls /usr/local/lib | grep libgee
libgee-0.8.la
libgee-0.8.so
libgee-0.8.so.5

Or
Code: 
ldconfig -r | grep gee
513:-lgee-0.8.5 => /usr/local/lib/libgee-0.8.so.5

Read pkg-plist of devel/libgee06, it's the same.

gee.2 doesn't exist, so in your Makefile LIB_DEPENDS macro needs to be updated.

Currently, the latest release of Plank supports both API (1.0 and 0.8).

I've had a bit of time to play with this more, but no real progress. Using either @olivier's or my (updated as per @olivier's comments) port of Plank, it still links in two versions of GTK:
  1. libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0 (the old, which I do not want)
  2. libgtk-3.so.0 (the new, which I do want)

I've even gone as far as setting explicit PLANK_CORE_LIBS but it still manages to find and link the GTK+ 2.0 library... which ultimately warns with the message mentioned before and exits:
Code: 
[WARN 21:26:18.757809] [Gtk] GTK+ 2.x symbols detected. Using GTK+ 2.x and GTK+ 3 in the same process is not supported

Any suggestions? Does anyone else have this running?
