prereqisites

The dev version of all required libs has to be installed first

maksvn

Using Subversion: update to trunk svn head or to any other revision, and make scribus 1.5.2 or 'preBoxes' version.

Folders can be changed in editing the settings inside the file at its begining.

• path to Qt
• path for exec
• etc

Currently tested runs on:

• Ubuntu 14.04 (tested by JLuc, Dec2016)
• Ubuntu 13.10 (tested by JLuc, Dec 2013)
• slackware 14.1 (tested by John Culleton, Dec 2015)

Basic use

Plain maksvn updates the source to svn head (currently 1.5.1svn), compiles and installs it

Options

Various options enhances the use. the options order is important.

maksvn [-h]ou[-?] [diff [dest]] [-d]ou[clean] [-r #####] [-nomaj]

• -h or -? display this help
• -diff or diff : creates the diff file 'dest.diff' (or 'svnhead.diff' when no dest filename is specified) of the current files state, when they have been localy edited, agains the svn head.
• -d or clean : Deletes previous build files (not the execs)
• -r ##### : updates to old revision n°##### (default : update to head)
• -noup or -nomaj : dont update at all, but make and install

Settings

Other settings require to edit the file and change their default values.

You MUST have a look at them and change their value before launching the script, or create the folder structure according to them.

Here are their name and défault values :

• sourcepath=~/dev/scribus
• qtpath="/localbin/Qt5.4/5.4"
• execdirpath=/localbin
• makeexecname="scribus-1.5.0" : Once was scribus-1.5.0.svn but changed due to 1.5 approaching release. Might be edited for 1.5.1svn
• mylang="fr;en-us" : Edit to fit your langage !!
• cores=8 : edit to fit your cpu cores = compile is much quicker with parallel processes enabled
• suffix=15svn : postfix for executable. For example : when postfix is 15svn, executable will be scribus15svn
• revision setting sets the default revision for update and can be overwriten with command line option
  • revision="" : to update to latest svn
  • revision=19507 : to "update" to said revision```
  • revision="nomaj" or "noup" : no update at all, will compile source "as is"
• usercmakeopt=" -DWANT_DEBUG=1 " : More optionnal settings for cmake. Do include the -
• usermakeopt="" : More optionnal settings for make. Do include the -

Directory use	default value	setting variable name
main working directory and place for .diff files	~/dev/scribus	sourcepath
svn source files	~/dev/scribus/svn	$sourcepath/svn
build files	~/dev/scribus/15svn	$sourcepath/build/$suffix
for results of compile	/localbin/15svn	$execdirpath/$suffix
path for Qt	/localbin/Qt5.4/5.4	$qtpath

When the script is launched, it creates the scribus related folders in case they dont exist, but not the qtpath : Qt has to be installed first, and the script checks it is installed in the said place.

makgit

out of order due to lack of activity on the contributor's repo

Using Git: update to some branch of the contributors GIT repo's head and make scribus 1.5 version for that branch

Folder structure is the same with name of leaf folder depending on git branch

Todo

• DONE option to make 1.5.0 released version without having to mention the revision number

Maybe :

• preliminary checks to see if svn + gcc + cmake etc packages are installed
• add il8n functionality (translate the script prompts to other languages) [Discussion]
• use getopts to parse CLI options

Other script :

• install libraries and svn + compilers when required
• required ? offer other linux 'flavor' options...(involves mostly fine-tuning library installs)
• checkout and update plugin from github and compile ? (for ex https://github.com/aoloe/scribus-plugin-export-epub)
