Hi Xiaofan,
Thanks for posting this announcement. My ancient PicStart+ finally died
after nearly 10 years of service (RIP), so I upgraded to an ICD2. (I also
bought the dsPICDEM 1.1 eval board!). The bad news is that piklab is a KDE
app and it's a pain in the ass to build KDE apps on Fedora. But I managed
to finally figure it out, so maybe someone else can benefit.
I've recently upgraded from FC3 to FC4, and my system is an Athlon64.
Like with pikdev, when I configure piklab I get this error when I
./configure:
...
checking for KDE... libraries /usr/lib, headers /usr/include/kde
checking if UIC has KDE plugins available... no
configure: error: you need to install kdelibs first.
Now, this is a lie, because kdelibs and kdelibs-devel are both installed.
After searching around on google, I found you can get around this
./configure bug by editing the ./configure script and changing the line
from:
if test -f actest.cpp && grep klineedit actest.cpp > /dev/null; then
to:
if test -f actest.cpp && grep KLineEdit actest.cpp > /dev/null; then
This is on line 29856. I found the solution here:
http://www.skepticats.com/linlog/entries/2005/08/14_1024/
This gets me through the configure script. But now, "make" gives this error:
Making all in devices
make[3]: Entering directory `/home/scott/tars/piklab-0.4.1/src/devices'
/bin/sh ../../libtool --silent --mode=link --tag=CXX g++

This isn't a lie, because on 64bit machines this library is located in
/usr/lib64/ ! So reading between the lines and picking up a hint here and
there I deduced you need to actually configure like this:
./configure --enable-libsuffix=64 --with-qt-dir=/usr/lib64/qt-3.3/
--with-qt-libraries=/usr/lib64/qt-3.3/lib/
Success! I can now configure. But compiling is another story. There are
thousands of QT warnings and one piklab error. Line 324 of
DirectPrgConfigWidget.cpp reads:
Direct::ConfigWidget::ConfigWidget(QWidget *parent)
: ProgConfigWidget(Device::User::DirectProgrammer, parent,
"direct_prog_config_widget")
But should be:
Direct::ConfigWidget::ConfigWidget(QWidget *parent)
: ProgConfigWidget(Device::User::DirectProgrammer, parent,
"direct_prog_config_widget")
After this fix I *finally* built a KDE app on an Fedora Distribution!
Piklab does indeed run too. However I did have to run as root to allow
connection:
Connecting ICD2 Programmer on USB Port with device 10F200...
Incorrect firmware loaded.
Could not find firmware file "ICD07??????.hex" in directory ".".
So at this point, I believe that I'm now ready to connect to my
development PCBs and do some real work. Finally!
Scott
