Tidied up version of the patch
Thanks for the fix. I've talked with upstream and your patch is okay as a quick fix, but they told me it should be configurable like for cmake plugin and you should put it for a review request so it's fixed in upstream (at least for a while). kdevelop-4.6.0-2.fc19, kdevelop-php-1.6.0-1.fc19, kdevplatform-1.6.0-1.fc19 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 19. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2013-23014/kdevelop-php-1.6.0-1.fc19,kdevelop-4.6.0-2.fc19,kdevplatform-1.6.0-1.fc19 (In reply to Jan Grulich from comment #2) > Thanks for the fix.

The patch was committed upstream this morning, so I think it's fair to say that upstream thinks the quick fix is good enough for the moment, a more configurable fix would need deeper work in the UI as well. I will test the fixed package when it makes it into the testing repo. Package kdevelop-4.6.0-2.fc19, kdevelop-php-1.6.0-1.fc19, kdevplatform-1.6.0-1.fc19: * should fix your issue, * was pushed to the Fedora 19 testing repository, * should be available at your local mirror within two days. Update it with: # su -c 'yum update --enablerepo=updates-testing kdevelop-4.6.0-2.fc19 kdevelop-php-1.6.0-1.fc19 kdevplatform-1.6.0-1.fc19' as soon as you are able to. Please go to the following url: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2013-23014/kdevelop-php-1.6.0-1.fc19,kdevelop-4.6.0-2.fc19,kdevplatform-1.6.0-1.fc19 then log in and leave karma (feedback). kdevelop-4.6.0-2.fc19, kdevelop-php-1.6.0-1.fc19, kdevplatform-1.6.0-1.fc19 has been pushed to the Fedora 19 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. |
Created attachment 835631 [details] Proposed patch to fix problem for fedora Description of problem: The new 4.6.0 version of kdevelop has a new builder that can build using Ninja (an alternative to make). However it is hardwired to use an executable called "ninja" and won't evn load the responsible plugin if it can't find the executable. Unfortunately on Fedora (and maybe on Debian too) because of a name clash the executable is named "ninja-build" Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 4.6.0 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start up kdevelop Actual results: 1. Note error message on console: kdevelop(29851)/kdevplatform (shell) KDevelop::PluginController::loadPluginInternal: "Plugin 'Ninja Project Builder' could not be loaded correctly and was disabled. Reason: ." kdevelop(29851) KDevNinjaBuilderPlugin::KDevNinjaBuilderPlugin: Ninja plugin installed but ninja is not installed. 2. Ninja plugin not in list in help menu. 3. cmake builds using ninja hang Expected results: Plugin loaded and ninja builds build. Additional info: I've attached a patch which fixes the issue for me, although it's not very flexible as to executable name
