Trouble Compiling GNumeric from Source

Jeff91 · 01-08-2010, 12:16 AM

Just like the title suggests, trying to compile GNumeric from source into a .deb with the dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -b -uc command.

However it fails with the following error message during the compile step:

Code:

Ideas/suggestions?

'apt-get build-dep gnumeric'

.. will install all the required build dependencies.

Your errors : Probably a missing header.
But have a look at the 5...10 lines, where the errors
start, then you will see which. ( Usually.)

A missing libgsf-1-dev again ? ?

Wish I could do that - I am attempting to recompile GNumeric for Maemo 5.

I'll install that package you mentioned manually and see if it resolves my issue(s).

Well then, you can see the dependency list here
http://packages.debian.org/source/sid/gnumeric
.. dependedcies are marked with red dots.
'debhelper', 'dh-buildinfo', 'po-debconf'
can be omitted.

( libgsf is included.)
