Dependencies qt5-* not needed #16

Open Deinorius opened 1 month ago

Deinorius commented 1 month ago

I was looking for some update on boehs, but because nothing changed, I looked for a fork and found yours. Thank you for continuing this work, Lightly just looks the best to me! I would like to contribute, but my capabilities don't go beyond scripting.

About those qt5-* dependencies. Why are those listed? I built the last boehs version without any qt5 installed. Just did it right now from this repo and it installed without any issues.

Arch, Linux 6.10.10, Plasma 6.1.5

They are listed because I wanted to make it work on plasma 6 as fast as possible, and the method for that was to just list every dependency I could find. You can help me remove some that are unneeded

There are a couple of QT5 dependencies which are now considered legacy since we are now on Plasma 6.

See https://github.com/Bali10050/Lightly/pull/18

I removed these dependencies and was able to successfully build on Fedora 40.

"cmake(Qt5Core)" "cmake(Qt5Gui)" "cmake(Qt5DBus)" "cmake(Qt5X11Extras)" "cmake(Qt5UiTools)" "cmake(KF5GuiAddons)" "cmake(KF5WindowSystem)" "cmake(KF5I18n)" "cmake(KF5CoreAddons)" "cmake(KF5ConfigWidgets)" "cmake(KF5GlobalAccel)" "cmake(KF5IconThemes)" "cmake(KF5Init)" "cmake(KF5Crash)" "cmake(KF5KIO)" "cmake(KF5Notifications)" kf5-kpackage-devel kf5-kcmutils-devel kf5-frameworkintegration-devel

The current set of packages for Fedora 40 contains a lot of legacy packages originally meant for Plasma 5. These packages are not required to build Lightly on Plasma 6.

On Fedora 40 I have tested Lightly builds successfully with only the following packages installed.

  1. git
  2. cmake
  3. extra-cmake-modules
  4. "cmake(KDecoration2)"
  5. kwin-devel
  6. kf6-kcolorscheme-devel
  7. kf6-kguiaddons-devel
  8. kf6-ki18n-devel
  9. kf6-kiconthemes-devel
  10. kf6-kirigami-devel
  11. kf6-kcmutils-devel

See https://github.com/Bali10050/Lightly/pull/19

At least for Arch, you can reduce the list even further because the rest is being installed as dependencies. So there's just:

  1. extra-cmake-modules
  2. kdecoration
  3. kcmutils
  4. kcolorscheme
  5. git

On the other side, every Plasma 6 user should have all three k* packages installed, as all are dependencies for kwin itself.
