More build errors.

More build errors.

[Dale P. Smith]

Hmm.  I'm getting different errors with ./autogen.sh now:

GNOME_COMMON_INIT: not found
./configure: 1560: Syntax error: word unexpected (expecting ")")
make: *** [config.status] Error 2
dsmith@sammy:~/src/guile-gtk$ ./autogen.sh 
.: gnome-autogen.sh: not found

I don't have any gnome development stuff installed.  I'm pretty sure I
don't have any gnome software installed. 

Yeah, I'm one of those guys that like a thin fast system, no kde or
gnome for me! ;^)

Hi,

you need to install gnome-common and the latest version of pkg-config (from
http://pkgconfig.sourceforge.net/ ) to make this work.

Btw. gnome-common is just a set of macros and build scripts, it has no other
dependencies except pkg-config.

Well, I finally built and installed gnome-common and pkg-config. These
are the errors I'm getting now:

**Warning**: I am going to run `configure' with no arguments.
If you wish to pass any to it, please specify them on the
`./autogen.sh' command line.

processing ./examples
...
[lot's o stuff deleted]

updating cache ./config.cache
loading cache ./config.cache
checking how to run the C preprocessor... (cached) gcc -E
checking for pkg-config... /usr/local/bin/pkg-config

configure: error: gnome-config: not found
Package gthread was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `gthread.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
Unknown package 'gthread'


Looks like I need "gnome-config" also.

Is gnome-config part of that, or are more bits of gnome needed to be
installed?

Hi,

gnome-config is part of gnome-libs, but you only get this "dependency" because
there's a bug in glib which is already fixed in CVS, but not in the last glib
release.

So at the moment, you need the latest stable glib from CVS - I'll try to make
a patch against glib 1.2.8 this weekend. Basically all you need are the .pc.in
files from glib, but you also need to patch Makefile.am / configure.in to
create the .pc files from them.

Well, normally pkg-config uses a .pc file which is installed by a package. If
it cannot find such a .pc file, it falls back to using gnome-config (which
comes with gnome-libs).

Unfortunately I realized too late that glib only has such .pc files in the
latest stable CVS version, but not in 1.2.8 - so when the next stable glib
is released, this problem will be gone.

New Gtk version? Re: More build errors.

Owen, 
are you planning a new GTK version. We at gnome-guile / guile-gtk
are in need of such a new release.
