01:02:38 luca: hi
01:03:49 luca: anyone can help me ?
01:07:03 wildintellect: luca, you have to ask your question before we know that
01:07:04 luca: sure
01:07:12 luca: I have installed qgis on ubuntu using apt
01:07:34 luca: and I am trying to use the tutorial on the qgis blog
01:08:09 wildintellect: which blog entry...
01:08:16 luca: why I cant find some file, i.e qgsmaptoolidentify.h and similar, in my installation ?
01:08:26 luca: I need to build from source ?
01:08:35 luca: tutorial #2 for example
01:08:42 wildintellect: can you post the link
01:09:19 luca: http://blog.qgis.org/taxonomy/term/1
01:09:21 sigq: Title: Tutorials in C++ | Quantum GIS Blog ( at blog.qgis.org )
01:09:32 luca: exactly
01:09:57 luca: I tried the zoom in zoom out pan add layer
01:10:13 luca: but for example whena i try to use the identify function
01:10:25 luca: i cannot find qgismaptoolidentify.h
01:10:31 luca: to include in the project
01:10:40 wildintellect: you need to have the source code on your system
01:10:51 wildintellect: wait, which version did you instal
01:10:59 luca: 1.0.1
01:11:03 luca: using apt-get
01:11:21 wildintellect: yes you need to install the source code too
01:11:34 wildintellect: so that when you compile your custom application you have the source
01:11:34 luca: so i need to install qgis from the source code ?
01:11:38 wildintellect: no
01:11:50 wildintellect: you don't need to compile qgis itself
01:11:58 luca: what do you mean .. "install the source code"
01:12:05 wildintellect: you just need to have the source files on your system
01:12:13 luca: I have it
01:12:18 luca: but
01:12:26 luca: when i build
01:12:39 luca: only the files in /usr/include
01:12:43 luca: are founded
01:12:55 luca: sorry /usr/include/qgis/
01:13:15 wildintellect: ya, you need to add them to your path or pass them to your build command
01:13:53 luca: can i also copy them in /usr/include/qgis ?
01:14:02 wildintellect: oh probably
01:14:11 luca: *.h and *.cpp too ?
01:14:14 wildintellect: but that's not the cleanest
01:14:40 wildintellect: to be honest I don't know, I'm not a c++ programmer
01:15:25 wildintellect: wait
01:15:29 luca: ok
01:15:33 wildintellect: at the bottom of the tutorial 1
01:15:36 wildintellect: did you see export LIB_DIR=/home/timlinux/apps
01:16:02 luca: yes but I have used different folder
01:16:09 luca: the tutorials works from me
01:16:11 wildintellect: do that right before you run make, with the path to your source
01:16:52 wildintellect: so things are working
01:17:03 wildintellect: but you're missing some files you think you should have
01:17:08 luca: sure
01:17:12 wildintellect: from which tutorial?
01:17:27 wildintellect: not all of the tutorials are up to date with 1.0
01:17:32 luca: I try #1and #²
01:17:37 wildintellect: so some things in them might not exist anymore
01:19:04 luca: I dont understand which is the right way to have on my enviroment all the files to use all the Qgis functions
01:19:59 wildintellect: maybe you should wait a few hours for tim to wake up, this is out my realm of expertise
01:20:31 luca: ok thanks
01:20:39 wildintellect: if you have the source code then you have everything
01:21:03 luca: agree.. I need to use it in the righ way
01:21:06 luca: right
01:21:15 wildintellect: best guess is you need to declare some export paths before you run make
01:21:47 wildintellect: if you want them to always be there add them to your .bash file of your user
01:22:34 luca: I ll try
01:22:45 luca: many thank : )

23:39:45 markusN: hi
23:40:22 macho: hi
23:40:41 markusN: quick question: we have installed QGIS 1.0.2 via OSGeo4W and my colleague managed to eliminate the legend bar on the left : )
23:40:45 markusN: how to get that back?
23:41:06 markusN: if we load a map, no legend visible and nothing relevant in the menus...
23:41:22 markusN: so: we see the map "fullscreen"
23:42:18 macho: you mean .. right mouseclick anywhere in the menubars -> legend?
23:42:30 macho: menubars=iconbars
23:42:35 macho: whatever it is called ; )
23:42:39 : * markusN tries
23:42:55 markusN: YEAH
23:42:59 markusN: cool
23:43:06 markusN: didn't know this trick
23:43:10 markusN: IRC rulez ; )
23:43:16 macho: not to myself -> should write it in the users manual : )
23:43:17 wildint: anyone know how to unmuck a source install of gdal
23:43:38 markusN: macho: would be nice
23:44:00 markusN: wildint: what do you mean whith unmuck?
23:44:17 wildint: well turns out I did a compile from source at some point and did a make install
23:44:24 macho: markusN: which chapter would you prefer for that information?
23:44:40 wildint: but that version is taking precedence over /usr/bin and is now obsolete
23:44:45 wildint: so I want to get rid of it
23:44:49 wildint: macho- online FAQ
23:44:59 macho: wildint: make uninstall?
23:45:19 wildint: apparently gdal doesn't have a rule in it's configure for make uninstall
23:46:07 wildint: macho - Chapter 4.2
23:46:21 wildint: that looks like a good place to mention how to get missing tools back
23:46:42 macho: wildint: is noted and ill do it once i'm back from abroad
23:47:21 markusN: thanks macho
23:47:22 markusN: ciao
23:47:31 macho: wildint: gdal problem sounds like: install it somewhere else with --prefix= - look whats inside - collect ( script? ) the names of that files - and do a rm
23:47:34 macho: markusN: np
23:47:37 wildint: guess I'll look at the packaged gdal, see what files it contains and track down it's equivalents
23:47:53 wildint: macho, good idea
23:48:37 macho: wildint: and send the script to Frank Warmerdam to include it in source distribution ; )
23:49:13 wildintellect: I'll make a list of the files, but changes of me making a script that works is slim
23:50:16 : * macho thinks there sould be a make uninstall included as it seems to be a rather old problem
