How to configure/compile/install tork source code for KDE 4.1.2 Intrepid Ibex

[lotuseclat79]

Referencing the tork webpage entitled: What do I need to compile and install Tork?:

The following information covers what packages are minimally necessary over and above an Intrepid Ibex Kubuntu 8.10 Live CD environment with KDE 4.1.2 to configure and issue the make command successfully to build tork from the latest source (0.31-1) available (See 1. below) released 5 Feb 2009.

The following steps allow tork to be configured, and compiled:

1. Download and untar the latest source tarball of tork into the build
directory tork-0.31 which is created from the tar extract command.

2. As root, edit the file /etc/apt/sources.list to uncomment universe and
multiverse repositories

The following commands and packages are required to configure tork from a
regular user account:

3. sudo apt-get update
4. sudo apt-get install g++
5. sudo apt-get install libxt-dev
6. sudo apt-get install zlib1g-dev
7. sudo apt-get install libqt3-headers
8. sudo apt-get install kdelibs4-dev

Then issue the ./configure command in the tork-0.31 directory and follow the existing instructions from the webpage entitled Install from Source to complete the compilation and installation of tork.

Get:7 [url]http://us.archive.ubuntu.com[/url] intrepid/universe tork 0.29-1build1 [1398kB]

Isn't it already included in the official repositories? OK, it's version 0.29-1, but what has the newer version, 0.31-1 to offer? What has been improved?

Hi kyonides,

The ChangeLog for releases 029-2 dated 2008-07-11, 0.30 dated 2008-10-21, and 0.31 dated 2008-12-31 (in release and misdated as 2008-01-29) is posted at KDE-apps.org.

The official ChangeLog file in the release (for comparison) indicates the following changes in releases 0.29-2, 0.30, and 0.31 is:

2008-12-31 Robert Hogan <robert@roberthogan.net>
TorK 0.31
Bug Fixes/Feature Fixes
o Major update to German Translation from Hans-J. Ullrich <hans.ullrich at loop.de>
o Boilerplate Greek Translation
o Boilerplate Spanish Translation
o Allow proxy ports up to 99999. Bug reported by anonym.
o Allow MapAddress configurations to apply properly.
o Modify 18x12 icons to 16x16 and so prevent packaging violations in Debian and Suse.
Thanks to Marek Stopka and Patrick Matthai for pointing this out.
o Fix so that downloading of experimental vs stable tor works properly again.
o Don't crash if /dev/*/statistics/read does not exist.
o Always update new server info
o Fallback to default ORPort and Dirport if UPNP configured but unavailable


2008-10-21 Robert Hogan <robert@roberthogan.net>
TorK 0.30
Bug Fixes/Feature Fixes
o If firstrun wizard cancelled, then cancel out of TorK and re-run it
next time Tor is run.
o Detect netfilter properly on more recent linux kernels.
o German Translation updated by "Hans-J. Ullrich" <hans.ullrich@loop.de>
o Remove 'Change Identity' from main toolbar. It's available in the OSD
and the systray menu instead.
o Always de-configure server if 'Client' option selected.
o Wait twenty seconds before assuming there is a problem
connecting to Tor.
o Improve the handling of tor installations in the first run wizard
o Make stream-handling much more efficient for heavy loads
o Fix http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=502155
Minor Features
o Add warning when tork is configured to expect privoxy to be running at
startup but there is no sign of it
o Add feature to let Tor shut down gracefully.
o Ensure server settings are set correctly when launching Tor from
Tork (as opposed to just connecting).
o Add option to toggle between display of IP address and server name
in server list.
o Only display konqueror in application list if it exists.
Known Bug Not Fixed Yet:
o If router discovered and connecting to remote/local tor, server
settings may be applied even if user requests not to.

TorK 0.29.2
Bug Fixes/Feature Fixes
o Fix crash when restarting Tor after clearing down the .tor directory.
o Fix crash with --enable-live-cd configure option. Thanks to anonym for
reporting. Re-enabled hidden services under live-cd option.

Does it only work with routers? Because I just have a modem and every so often it showed up a popup window telling me that it couldn't find my router...

Hi kyonides,

I don't know, but you should be able to find out from the author, Robert Hogan, as noted via his email address in my previous message. Let us know what you find out.

Re: How to configure/compile/install tork source code for KDE 4.1.2 Intrepid Ibex

I am posting this to elaborate on my first post. I have started from scratch with the Live CD again and find that the installed package list needs to be increased. Also, I have adopted installation of the Synaptic Package Manager as the next step after making the universe and multiverse repositories available in /ect/apt/sources.list and issuing the sudo apt-get update command, and then disregard using Adept further.

The full list of necessary packages to configure, compile, and install tork-0.31-1 are:
1) g++
2) automake
3) libx11-dev
4) libxt-dev
5) zlib1g-dev
6) libjpeg62-dev
7) libpng12-dev
8) libqt3-headers
9) kdelibs4-dev

Do you want to continue? [Y/n/?]

As I don't really want to build it I canceled this but it gives you a good list. I have not been able to find an apt tool that would just list all the build dependencies, although I am sure that info is in the database.

Anyone know of such a tool?

Re: How to configure/compile/install tork source code for KDE 4.1.2 Intrepid Ibex

Thanks. Are those not runtime dependencies? Those are, or may be, different than build-dependencies. You may find that .debs not included in Debian (or Ubuntu) may not be compiled with support for all the options that are available in Debian and therefore have somewhat simpler dependencies.

[lotuseclat79]

Re: How to configure/compile/install tork source code for KDE 4.1.2 Intrepid Ibex

Hi mando_hacker,

Yes, for the most part they are runtime, but I think the first one is a build dependency if I am not mistaken. I am just now beginning to investigate .deb packaging, and it appears that the distinction between build vs. runtime dependencies is not very clear yet. If it is possible to make that kind of a distinction, then I agree with you about simpler dependencies.

Re: How to configure/compile/install tork source code for KDE 4.1.2 Intrepid Ibex

Actually a libxxx.deb package is a runtime library. The development version will be libxxx-dev.deb.
If you look at the command I used to get the list
sudo aptitude build-dep tork
you will see that it is satisfying build-dependencies. These are very well established in Debian. That is how Gentoo can "emerge" packages.
