@eliminater74, it might sometimes be useful to use the strace command from a terminal the following way:

$> strace bcompare

I hope it helps!

eliminater74 commented on 2022-04-20 23:20 (UTC)

I keep geting: "usr/bin/bcompare: line 47: 42996 Segmentation fault (core dumped) /bin/bash -c "exec -a $0 $EXEC $ARGS > /dev/null 2>&1" $0"

any ideas?

byteatom commented on 2022-04-10 13:30 (UTC)

it seems that the context menu for kde5 depend on kinit package

Musikolo commented on 2022-03-18 21:46 (UTC)

Updated to version 4.4.2.26348.

Enjoy!

dimavs commented on 2022-02-18 21:27 (UTC)

BTW, I've fixed my issue - just switched to Wayland. So, it doesn't work with X11, but it is fine in Wayland.

dimavs commented on 2022-02-15 10:14 (UTC)

I've got the same exit code - 216. Where I can check the logs? Funny thing, it doesn't work on my home computer, but works fine on my work PC.

G4Zz0L1 commented on 2022-01-23 15:36 (UTC)

I've got a similar output of that guy in that thread, even without config folder and after recompile and reinstall of bcompare, but nothing useful.

Runtime error 216 at $000000001D20207F
  $000000001D20207F

If it works for everyone else it means it has to be something on my end, but I don't know how to debug a runtime error...

I'm getting an 32-bit binary installed on my 64-bit system:

/usr/lib/beyondcompare/bcmount32

Also, there are missing dependencies for some of these files:

File "/usr/lib/beyondcompare/BCompare" from package "bcompare" is missing dependency "lib7z.so"
File "/usr/lib/beyondcompare/BCompare" from package "bcompare" is missing dependency "libQt4Pas.so.5"
File "/usr/lib/beyondcompare/libQt4Pas.so.5" from package "bcompare" is missing dependency "libQtGui.so.4"
File "/usr/lib/beyondcompare/libQt4Pas.so.5" from package "bcompare" is missing dependency "libQtCore.so.4"
File "/usr/lib/beyondcompare/qt4/libQtGui.so.4" from package "bcompare" is missing dependency "libQtCore.so.4"

Also, the install script is raising an error (but ultimately succeeding):

==> Starting package_bcompare()...

@G4Zz0L1, I don't know reason why you're getting that error, but I found this link that could be useful.

I hope it helps.

G4Zz0L1 commented on 2022-01-17 11:10 (UTC)

This package started reporting error 216 when run (graphically or from the console) with no other output. Any idea how to debug it or why it happens?

Musikolo commented on 2021-12-21 15:01 (UTC)

Updated to version 4.4.1.26165.

Thanks @Musikolo, the BC context menus are working again in Thunar!

Musikolo commented on 2020-07-15 04:24 (UTC)

Updated to version 4.3.5.24893. Added support for thunarx-3.

Enjoy!

stonyboy commented on 2020-07-14 09:19 (UTC)

I am really looking forward to the new 4.3.5 version, as Scooter Software has now fixed the Thunar context menus according to this email I got this morning:

We've released a Beyond Compare context menu that supports Thunar 1.8/GTK3 in Beyond Compare 4.3.5.

XAVeRY commented on 2019-10-24 22:27 (UTC)

It looks like 4.3.1 ships all the Qt4 dependencies alongside the binary - perhaps the qt4 dependency is no longer needed.

Aerion commented on 2019-07-16 16:19 (UTC)

@rku I wondered the same thing about the need for Qt 4 as it has been unsupported since 2015, so I contacted Scooter Software today.

This was their response:

"We're working on a Qt 5 version of Beyond Compare. As an intermediate step, we might release a version of Beyond Compare 4 for Linux that includes Qt 4 in the package for distributions that no longer support it.

Beyond Compare 4.2.10 on Mac is only available as a 32-bit application. Apple will drop support for 32-bit apps in macOS 10.15 (September or October). Work on a 64-bit Mac version has dominated our development calendar. Once we have a the 64-bit Mac version of BC officially released then we'll be able to schedule more time on other issues, such as Linux Qt 5 support or bundling of Qt 4."

So it looks like we will be stuck with Qt 4 for a while longer, although a Qt 5 version is coming. All in all good news then.

renehsz commented on 2019-06-06 11:01 (UTC)

@Musikolo it works now, perfect!

Musikolo commented on 2019-06-01 02:53 (UTC)

@renehsz, I understand now what the was.

Please, try again and let me know if the issue persists.

Thank you.

renehsz commented on 2019-05-31 14:50 (UTC) (edited on 2019-05-31 14:50 (UTC) by renehsz)

@Musikolo If your /bin/sh is symlinked to /bin/bash (which is default on Arch Linux, but can be changed), then the install.sh script runs fine, but if it is symlinked to a non-bash but still posix-compliant shell like dash, it will cause a syntax error. A possible fix is simply calling the script with bash instead of sh to make sure it always runs with bash:

72c72
<   sh install.sh --prefix="${_install_dir}"
---
>   bash install.sh --prefix="${_install_dir}"

Musikolo commented on 2019-05-31 00:54 (UTC)

@renehsz, if you know a way to solve that issue, please feel free to share a possible fix. Since I don't know what exact issue you are having, I'm unable to solve it.

Thank you.

renehsz commented on 2019-05-30 18:20 (UTC)

I think the install.sh script doesn't seem to work with a posix compliant but non-bash shell. So it should either be called with bash or the bashisms should be removed. I might be wrong though...

Musikolo commented on 2019-05-30 02:57 (UTC)

Updated to version 4.2.10.23938.

Enjoy!

Musikolo commented on 2019-05-07 01:47 (UTC)

@rku, yes, it is required. This is what you get when qt4 is missing:

rku commented on 2019-05-06 06:25 (UTC)

Is qt4 dependency required? qt4 is no longer in repos so it pulls in a lengthy build from aur.

Musikolo commented on 2019-03-10 05:53 (UTC)

@nathanandelson, you should find current and old versions of bcompare at https://bit.ly/2XOI3rt

In keeping with the strace output you shared, I noticed a lot errors at the end of the trace when accessing the bash.mo file. I'm not getting those errors when I run strace bcompare in my machine. I'm not sure if it could be related with the locale or something like that.

I hope it helps.

nathanalderson commented on 2019-03-07 20:26 (UTC)

@Musikolo, unfortunately scooter software doesn't seem to host older versions of beyond compare, so I can't running one of those. If you have a previous version stored somewhere you could share with me, that would be great. You can email me at my username at gmail.com.

I posted strace output as a gist https://gist.github.com/nathanalderson/74b415d243ff98574eeda00b76a957e6 in case anyone wants to take a look.

Musikolo commented on 2019-03-06 04:50 (UTC)

@nathanalderson, I would try installing the previous version to confirm whether the issue is still happening or not. If it happens, then you should check what you installed recently.

Another interesting option that could be very helpful is launching bcompare with strace:

strace bcompare

I hope it helps.

nathanalderson commented on 2019-03-05 16:34 (UTC)

I'm hitting a core dump while trying to run beyond compare on my system. I have described the issue in detail here: https://www.scootersoftware.com/vbulletin/forum/beyond-compare-4-discussion/linux-aa/79856-core-dump-on-arch-linux

I can't reproduce it in a vanilla Arch docker image, so maybe it's an interaction with some other package I have installed. Any thoughts?

rku commented on 2019-01-17 07:54 (UTC)

Hey @Ivellios it seems like copying lib is not necessary at all. I enabled option in settings (never knew it was there. duh!). It did not work immediately but after fiddling a bit more (which included restarting dolphin and closing bcompare) lo and behold menu became visible.

Musikolo commented on 2019-01-17 02:54 (UTC)

Updated to version 4.2.9.23626

Enjoy!

Ivellios commented on 2018-11-09 01:57 (UTC)

@Musikolo

Yes as you mentioned, KDE Plasma only needs bcompare-kde5. However "makepkg -si" in bcompare will install the entire group, i.e. bcompare and the extension for all DEs, that's why I still made the change to bcompare-kde4, which actually point bcompare-kde4 and bcompare-kde4 extension to same library so that Plasma doesn't get confused.

Uninstall all other extensions except bcompare-kde5 works fine on Plasma, and no other manual settings required.

Thanks.

Musikolo commented on 2018-11-08 02:01 (UTC)

@Ivellios, I'm not completely sure I'm understanding well, but if you have KDE Plasma, you only need bcompare-kde5 package. You shouldn't have installed bcompare-kde4, if this is causing conflicts with Dolphin.

Thank you.

Ivellios commented on 2018-11-07 08:50 (UTC) (edited on 2018-11-07 12:28 (UTC) by Ivellios)

plasma-desktop 5.14.3-1
dolphin 18.08.2-1
bcompare 4.2.8.23479-2

Finally made context menu work in KDE Plasma 5 + Dolphin.
As @Musikolo said, already enabled in "Tools -> Options -> File Manager Integration", and in "Dolphin -> Control -> Configure Dolphin -> Services", beyond compare service already enabled, but still not shown in right click context menu.

bcompare-kde5 /usr/lib/qt/plugins/kf5/kfileitemaction/bcompare_ext_kde5.so

See what's missing? There is no service file for bcompare-kde5.

If you check bcompare_ext_kde.desktop, it will load library bcompare_ext_kde.so. However if you check the library, you will get: qtplugininfo: bcompare_ext_kde.so: No plug-in meta-data found: Failed to extract plugin meta data from './bcompare_ext_kde.so'. If you check kde5 plugin: 

qtplugininfo /usr/lib/qt/plugins/kf5/kfileitemaction/bcompare_ext_kde5.so

you will get:

IID "org.kde.KPluginFactory" Qt 5.6.2 (release)
User Data: {
    "KPlugin": {
        "Icon": "bcomparefull32",
        "MimeTypes": [
            "application/octet-stream",
            "inode/directory"
        ],
        "Name": "Compare/Merge files with BeyondCompare",
        "ServiceTypes": [
            "KFileItemAction/Plugin"
        ]
    },
    "MimeType": "application/octet-stream;inode/directory;"
}

The "Name" string matches what listed in Dolphin service.

So it looks Dolphin loads the kde4 service file, but only kde5 library works.

Simply solution:

cp /usr/lib/kde4/bcompare_ext_kde.so /usr/lib/kde4/bcompare_ext_kde.so.backup
cp /usr/lib/qt/plugins/kf5/kfileitemaction/bcompare_ext_kde5.so /usr/lib/kde4/bcompare_ext_kde.so

Now you can use Beyond Compare from context menu.

Musikolo commented on 2018-10-30 04:28 (UTC)

Just found the way to make KDE Plasma 5 service menus working. It is required to enable File Manager Integration under Tools -> Options from Beyond Compare interface.

Enjoy!

Musikolo commented on 2018-10-30 03:45 (UTC) (edited on 2018-10-30 03:55 (UTC) by Musikolo)

Updated to version 4.2.8. Integrated new KDE Plasma 5 dynamic service menus, although unfortunately it still does not work.

Enjoy!

stonyboy commented on 2018-10-22 20:31 (UTC)

I have now reported the issue mentioned below to Scooter Software.

The problem is now on their todo list for an upcoming BC release. No ETA at the moment.

stonyboy commented on 2018-10-21 15:10 (UTC)

I have not been able to see the context menus in Thunar lately.

Looking at the installed Thunar extensions on my system, it looks like bcompare is the only one that tries to use the thunarx-2 interface, where all the other extensions are using thunarx-3.

I suspect that this is why there are no menus showing up. Has anybody else seen something similar?

Musikolo commented on 2018-09-16 01:51 (UTC)

@scooterchris, thanks for the heads up!

The bug is now solved.

Please, let me know if you have any further issues.

Thank you!

scooterchris commented on 2018-09-14 17:29 (UTC)

The 4.2.6 AUR doesn't install HTML help to the correct location so opening Help > Contents fails.

Help files on 64-bit Linux should be installed in /usr/lib64/beyondcompare/help/, but the AUR installs help in the folder /usr/share/doc/beyondcompare/, this causes Help > Contents to fail.

Help should be placed in the help subfolder of the executable's folder or there should be a symlink in that folder pointing to the help folder.

Workaround for 64-bit Arch: ln -s /usr/share/doc/beyondcompare/ /usr/lib64/beyondcompare/help

Musikolo commented on 2018-07-14 02:37 (UTC)

Updated to version 4.2.6.23150

Enjoy!

Musikolo commented on 2018-06-21 05:08 (UTC)

@rku, I've tried really hard to get a new bcompare-kde5 package ready. However, no matter what I do it doesn't work. I can see the service listed under Dolphin --> Control --> Configure Dolphin... --> Services, but when you right click one or more files, there is nothing in the service menus (Actions). I've tried everything single thing I've been thought about, and nothing worked.

The situation it's a bit strange: 1.- The desktop file is installed under /usr/share/kservices5 which matches the output of kf5-config --path services command. I've seen other services being installed under /usr/share/kservices5/ServiceMenus but this changes nothing. 2.- The binary plugin file is installed under /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/plugins. However, the output of kf5-config --path qtplugins is /usr/lib/plugins/:/usr/lib/qt/plugins/plugins/ in my machine. None of these two directories exist. Nonetheless, I've noticed all KDE plugins I've got installed are located under /usr/lib/qt/plugins. No matter which location I use for the plugin, it doesn't work.

So, I've got the feeling that either the KDE5 BCompare service menu is buggy or KDE Arch Linux has something wrong in the plugin system (not very likely though).

If anybody has additional ideas, those would be more than welcome.

I'll let you know as soon as I get any update.

Thank you!

rku commented on 2018-06-20 06:59 (UTC)

Thank you for the update. This version introduced context menu option for plasma5 desktop. Could we get that in aur package as well?

@Salzi: in pacman 5: "the ability to build a single package in a PKGBUILD has been removed" Sounds like your AUR helper isn't up to date.

@vith: You should have kde4-config if you want to use bcompare-kde package. In that case, you should have kdelibs available, as shown in the next command: [musikolo@MyPC ~]$ pacman -Qo /usr/bin/kde4-config /usr/bin/kde4-config is owned by kdelibs 4.14.15-1 If you aren't interested in KDE at all, please just ignore the error altogether because the install.sh script it's assuming the file existence when checking KDE version. It seems to be a small bug, but nothing be worried about. Please, let me know if anything else is needed. Thanks for you feedback.

vith commented on 2015-12-24 13:26 (UTC)

Seems to work fine but I saw this weird message when installing with `pacaur -S bcompare`.

blueyed commented on 2015-11-12 01:13 (UTC)

"bcompare-gnome" fails to install with "pacaur -S bcompare-gnome". This is likely true for all extra packages (see similar reports for yaourt): ==> Validating source files with sha256sums... bcompare-4.1.1.20615.x86_64.tar.gz ...

Wesley_Chan commented on 2015-10-26 08:12 (UTC)

@Musikolo, I've never tried to use Thunar in KDE. My apology. I have no problem in naming the packages. Here's context menus for Cinnamon and MATE2/3. Tested. http://pastebin.com/Y8B1vGyC But in the case of MATE, I think ScooterSoftware made a mistake. The directory should be "extension2" rather than "extension3". A pull request has been made to the GitHub. To make it work, a small patch can be applied to install.sh. But I suppose we should wait for the upstream. Hope this helps.

Musikolo commented on 2015-10-23 04:39 (UTC)

@Wesley_Chan: I'm open to any suggestion, of course, but you cannot use Thunar in KDE unless you have all Xfce core libs installed. So, in the end, every window manager has its our file explorer and every file explorer depends on the window manager it was created for. On top of that, it's true that for Gnome and Xfce, we could use bcompare-nautilus and bcompare-nemo names, but this is not the case for KDE, because the service menus are not for Dolphin only, they are for any KDE-compatible file explorer. So, I don't see the point in using the file explorer name in some cases and the window manager in others. I think that by using the window manager it's (reasonably) clear what its package is intended for. Lastly, there used to be some people complaining about the fact that service menus were installed all the time and they didn't want to have them at all. Having all service menus in one package is not as flexible as having it in separate packages. You could find people that wants to have service menus for Nautilus, but don't want to have it for Nemo. For this reason, I truly believe that having everything separate is the best option. Does it make sense to you?

Wesley_Chan commented on 2015-10-23 01:23 (UTC) (edited on 2015-10-23 01:59 (UTC) by Wesley_Chan)

@Musikolo, I'm sorry but shouldn't it be bcompare-thunar, bcompare-nemo, bcompare-nautilus etc.? I mean, you can definitely use nemo as file manager in Gnome, or thunar in KDE. It should be named after FM, rather than DE. What do you think? P.S.: And what is a person supposed to do if he uses both nemo and thunar? He couldn't possibly install both the packages. So please re-consider separating them. Thanks. P.S. again: Oh, I can see those separate packages are only installing menu entries. Sorry. Still, I personally think it's better all-in-one. The latest version support more than that now. I'll try to do an update. Thanks.

Musikolo commented on 2015-10-21 04:39 (UTC)

@petrovo: You are right. It should be fixed now. Thanks for your support! ;-)

petrovo commented on 2015-10-20 14:05 (UTC)

The problem really is that the package is created and in the file "/usr/bin/bcompare", 1st line, is into the path "BC_LIB" added the installation directory before "/lib/beyondcompare". Correctly be only: BC_LIB=/lib/beyondcompare I can't find where it is in the scripts.

Salzi commented on 2015-10-20 06:14 (UTC)

Musikolo commented on 2015-10-20 04:40 (UTC)

Added support for i686 platform, plus Gnome and Xfce service menus. There is now a separate package for the service menus of each window manager. @Wesley_Chan: Thanks a lot for your support!

Dear @Musikolo, Well, I can help test it today. The bcompare-beta package was stolen from yours. I'm currently using Thunar and it works. Maybe you want to do a merge. PS: Yeah, it works. http://imgur.com/D5Oa7QP Cheers,

Musikolo commented on 2015-10-16 03:46 (UTC)

@Wesley_Chan: I'm trying to update the package to support i686 build as well. However, I have no longer any i686 PC in which to try. I'm planning to set up a i686 VM to cover this kind of situations in the future. This, however, it take me some time... In addition, I'm a KDE user, so I have no way to know where Thunar and GTK context menu files should be place. Any help is more than welcome. Thank you!

Wesley_Chan commented on 2015-10-14 01:50 (UTC)

Dear @Musikolo, i686 source seems to be missing from the PKGBUILD. Nautilus and Thunar context menu support is also missing. Would you please fix it? Thanks. Since there is a "bcompare-beta" package, I think they should be conflicted with each other. https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/PKGBUILD?h=bcompare-beta It would be nice if you can merge them back. Cheers,

Musikolo commented on 2015-10-12 22:13 (UTC)

@vinibali: I have verified both dependencies. You are right in that qt4 is a required dependency, so I have added it to the depends entry. However, gtk2 is not a dependency because I have been able to run the bcompare without having gtk2 installed at all. If you have any case scenario in which it's needed, I would appreciate further details to re-evaluate. Thanks a million for your feedback! ;-)

vinibali commented on 2015-10-12 18:36 (UTC) (edited on 2015-10-12 18:37 (UTC) by vinibali)

For who needs the Beyond Compare 3.x version, pls feel free to try the following package: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/bcompare3 This package is for those who don't want to upgrade their Beyond Compare 3 license or who is using a cracked license.O(∩_∩)O The PKGBUILD is almost the same as the one in package 'bcompare' version 3.3.12. I just update it to version 3.3.13 and add a file 'bcompare.install' which is imported in 'bcompare' version 4.0. 各位需要 Beyond Compare 3.x 版本的大神，请试用以下包: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/bcompare3 本软件包提供给那些不想升级 Beyond Compare 3 注册码的用户和那些在使用网上流传的注册码的用户。O(∩_∩)O PKGBUILD 文件基本与包 ”bcompare“ 版本为 3.3.12 的该文件相同。 我仅仅升级软件至 3.3.13 并且增加一个在 “bcompare” 版本 4.0 中引入的文件 “bcompare.install”。

For the AMD64.deb file I get the checksum: 927352a353c43dc1453828d909a92fb4 while for the tar.gz I get: 24a53347bb86e62bf002e4dbe82ed630. If you unpack the tar.gz file and cd into directory then run the following command: "sudo mv BCompare /usr/lib32/beyondcompare/" it fixes the issue. Not sure if possible to have this file put into the PKGBUILD tar.gz file.

The application does not start up and work normally - at least, not if you don't have a license and wanted to use a trial license. I tried a version that I installed from a tar.gz from the official website and it runs without this error appearing.

Musikolo commented on 2012-12-21 19:26 (UTC)

@phunni & @Mahara: Yes, I can confirm the "Trial information is corrupt" error is occurring, but I cannot do anything since we only have the binary program. The same program version didn't show this error before and I don't know what might be causing it now. Anyway, after displaying the error, the application starts up and works normally. I hope the problem is fixed upstream in the next release. Thanks for your notice. Regards.

phunni commented on 2012-12-21 12:25 (UTC)

Not to be a pain, but is there any progress on the "Trial information is corrupt" error?

commented on 2012-11-27 10:25 (UTC)

"Trial Information is corrupt" is also present on the first run on the latest ArchLinux x86_64 with KDE.

Musikolo commented on 2012-09-14 23:53 (UTC)

@rbellamy: I don't have Gnome, so if you find a fix, I'll be happy to include it. Regards.

rbellamy commented on 2012-09-14 00:14 (UTC)

Any possibility of getting the Nautilus integration working? I too am getting the "Trial Information is corrupt" error.

phunni commented on 2012-08-10 16:01 (UTC)

Also getting the trial information is corrupt error

Musikolo commented on 2012-07-20 16:58 (UTC)

Updated to version 3.3.5! Best regards.

shaurz commented on 2012-05-31 19:45 (UTC)

Missing a few dependencies: lib32-libxinerama lib32-libxcursor lib32-libxft Also when I run it, it says the trial information is corrupt.

BertiBoeller commented on 2012-05-21 22:49 (UTC)

Hi Musikolo, I can confirm your dependency list but I needed to have 'lib32-libsm' installed also. Otherwise Beyond Compare wouldn't start. Best regard.

Musikolo commented on 2012-04-22 19:26 (UTC)

@BertiBoeller: It's true that lib32-qt is no needed, but lib32-zlib isn't either. However, I have find out that the following is needed: depends=('lib32-libxinerama' 'lib32-libxcursor' 'lib32-libxft' 'sh') Can you please confirm nothing else is required? I will release a new update when confirmed. Besides, I need to do some tests on i686 architecture too. Thanks for your contribution! Best regards.

BertiBoeller commented on 2012-04-19 20:21 (UTC)

/usr/lib32/libz.so.1 is provided by lib32-zlib. When I remove this library on my system I have the same error. lib32-qt3 is definitely not needed to run Beyond Compare. Namcap unfortunatley wasn't able to find this dependency.

commented on 2012-04-19 19:16 (UTC)

System x64. Installation works without error. When launching, I got an error message: Some Shared Libraries were not found linux-gate.so.1 => (0xf77b0000) libz.so.1 => /usr/lib32/libz.so.1 (0xf7774000).... It seems to come from some missing QT lib. Therefore, I manually install lib32-qt3. It works after that. I think you should set back the dependance. BTW, also got directly the key requirement (without having any trial period). Thanks a lot

BertiBoeller commented on 2012-03-12 10:03 (UTC)

@Musikolo: Thanks a lot! Regarding the service menus: It would have been nice if there were some more opinions. Maybe it's just me who likes the user preferences settings better...

Musikolo commented on 2012-03-10 18:33 (UTC)

@BertiBoeller: Removed unneeded lib32-qt3 dependency for x86_64 architecture. Thanks for your notice. @Everybody: In order to find a solution the different opinions regarding whether KDE service menus should or shouldn't be installed globally, I have included a question in the build script asking you for this. By default, they will be installed. So, if you do not want them to be installed, simply reply No to the question. I hope everybody is happy with these changes. Regards.

BertiBoeller commented on 2012-03-10 14:06 (UTC)

@Musikolo: Regarding the service menus: I think this depends on the preferences of the user. If you have lots of programs which install entries in the service menu it can become cluttered and you can't disable the "Edit" and compare with file menu entries. But it's your package so it's up to your preference what you chose as default. It should be save to remove the "lib32-qt3" dependency. I've installed Beyond Compare without that dependency and it seems to run just fine. Namcap doesn't complain also.

Musikolo commented on 2012-03-07 22:08 (UTC)

@fnine: Thanks for your notice. There was a bug while building the package on i686 architecture, but the new PKGBUILD file sorts it out. The issue didn't affect x86_64 users, so no changes for them. Regards.

fnine commented on 2012-03-07 11:59 (UTC)

I just ran into this. Package installation fails with "==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build()". Reason is that you hide the error message, but not the error :-) Adding "|| true" to the kde_context_menu line fixes this. Regards, /alex

Musikolo commented on 2012-03-05 19:42 (UTC)

@BertiBoeller: I'm aware about the error caused while trying to find the 'menu.ini' file, but I didn't find any problem because of this: the service menus were generated fine. That's why the script hides this error by using 2> /dev/null. If find anything wrong with this, please, let me know. Regarding the fact of installing the service menus globally, I think when you install a package as root (or with sudo) the purpose is to put it at the service of all the users of that PC. Otherwise, the user should do his own local installation, rather than relying on a global one. Besides, I don't see anything wrong in making the service menus available to everyone as the binary of the package is also available to everyone: would it make any sense to put the binaries available to all users and not to do the same with the service menus? I don't think... Regards.

BertiBoeller commented on 2012-03-04 17:46 (UTC)

Hello, thanks for the package! If you're installing bcompare for the first time the part with the ServiceMenus will fail because the script looks for a file called 'menu.ini' in '~/.beyondcompare' and '/usr/lib/beyondcompare'. If you haven't run Beyond Compare and saved your settings the file won't exist and the build of the package will fail. On a multi user system it probably wouldn't be a good idea to make these configurations global anyway. Regards.

Musikolo commented on 2012-03-03 18:39 (UTC)

@adam.bococz: Included system KDE service menus, so now there is no need to have ~/.kde4/share/kde4/services/ServiceMenus directory. They are installed at /usr/share/kde4/services/ServiceMenus instead. Regards.

commented on 2012-03-03 13:45 (UTC)

It could be nice if you could add execution of cript which creates right-click actions in KDE, script is located in package /usr/lib/beyondcompare/kde_contect_menu, before you run it you must create dir called ServiceMenus in ~/.kde4/share/kde4/services/ otherwise it fails... BTW. ScooterSoftware provides that deb package as 30-day trial, after that period you have to enter serial number... when I install that deb on ubuntu, it works as trial, so twopumpchump was right that it is unexpected behaviour.

Musikolo commented on 2012-03-01 21:41 (UTC)

Updated to version 3.3.4. Regards.

Musikolo commented on 2012-02-02 21:56 (UTC)

@twopumpchump: This package is commercial, what means that if you want to run it you need key code. The usual way to get key code is to buy it. Thus, what you get is the expected behaviour.

commented on 2012-01-31 03:27 (UTC)

When i try to open I get error "the trial information is missing or corrupt" and cannot open program unless i buy it...anybody else?

Musikolo commented on 2012-01-13 19:26 (UTC)

@Petrovo: I have included your tip. So, now deb2targz is no longer needed as make dependency. Thanks. @Everyone else: For those having the version 3.3.3 already installed, there is no need to rebuild the package again as it's equivalent at binary level. Best regards.

petrovo commented on 2012-01-07 11:32 (UTC)

All architectures are now supported. For x86_64 architectures some lib32 packages are required. If you find anything that can be improved, please, do not hesitate to let me know. Enjoy!
