I managed to install meld 3.14.2 and all the dependency packages by compiling each package from the source code, and they are all installed on the NFS share with --prefix=<base>/meld for the tool --prefix=<base>/meld/deps && --prefix=<base>/meld/deps for dependencies.
Finally, I called the tool and see the graphical interface. But when I try to do some functional testing, it gives me errors. I have never used a tool. So, I don't know how this should work for sure. But users pointed out the following error, and I think there could be many other errors. But the following is one of them.
$meld GLib-GIO-Message: Using the 'memory' GSettings backend. Your settings will not be saved or shared with other applications. II 1 Traceback (most recent call last): File "/applics/platform/meld/meld-3.14.2/lib/python2.7/site-packages/meld/newdifftab.py", line 117, in on_button_compare_clicked tab = self.diff_methods[self.diff_type](compare_paths) File "/applics/platform/meld/meld-3.14.2/lib/python2.7/site-packages/meld/meldwindow.py", line 647, in append_filediff doc = filediff.FileDiff(len(files)) File "/applics/platform/meld/meld-3.14.2/lib/python2.7/site-packages/meld/filediff.py", line 281, in __init__ from meld.gutterrendererchunk import GutterRendererChunkAction File "/applics/platform/meld/meld-3.14.2/lib/python2.7/site-packages/meld/gutterrendererchunk.py", line 33, in <module> class GutterRendererChunkAction(GtkSource.GutterRendererPixbuf): File "/applics/platform/meld/meld-3.14.2/lib/python2.7/site-packages/meld/gutterrendererchunk.py", line 38, in GutterRendererChunkAction MODE_REPLACE: load("meld-change-apply-right"), File "/applics/platform/meld/meld-3.14.2/lib/python2.7/site-packages/meld/gutterrendererchunk.py", line 30, in load return icon_theme.load_icon(icon_name, LINE_HEIGHT, 0) File "/applics/platform/meld/meld-3.14.2/dependencies/lib/python2.7/site-packages/gi/types.py", line 113, in function return info.invoke(*args, **kwargs) gi._glib.GError: Icon 'meld-change-apply-right' not present in theme
Please tell me what could be wrong?
The following variables I used during installation and while using the tool.
PATH, LD_LIBRARY_PATH, PKG_CONFIG_PATH, PYTHONPATH, GSETTINGS_SCHEMA_DIR
The reason for using all of these paths is that this is a fully customizable installation, since GTK versions, etc., were already running on the servers, etc. And we don’t want to break them and we want a separate setting for combining, and also so that One and the same installation shared on NFS can be used from multiple servers.
But, unlike the other tools that we usually install, meld has very serious dependencies, and we need to compile complex packages such as GTK.
Anyway, can anyone tell us what is wrong with the current installation? And do I need to install more variables and references, or do I need to install modules again with additional options? Now I have installed only recommended dependencies for each package and left optional package dependencies.
And as for the error, I can find the png file in my installation <base>/meld/share/icons/hicolor/16x16/actions/meld-change-apply-right.png , why can't the tool find it? What does the topic mean here?
I was actually very proud of myself when I saw the window, but now it seems that this is just an empty window with zero functionality :(
