[SOLVED] No package 'pangox' found

I suspect your approach is better ponce. I just did a quick check and I see gtkglextmm no longer builds for me anyway. I probably broke it when I upgraded glibmm to 2.36.2. Cant recall why I had to upgrade it but I'm pretty sure something gnome-related was involved.

and you know what the irony is?

after going through all the hassle to get cairo-dock installed, i realised that i didn't really like the looks and feel of it after all. -_-"

Thanks to all for the kind advice and sharing. It's an awesome community here!

Just tried to install gtkglextmm (using the git for -current with sbopkg) and this is all I get:

Code:

In file included from ../../../gdkglext/gdkmm/gl/defs.h:25:0,
                 from ../../../gdkglext/gdkmm/gl/tokens.h:27,
                 from tokens.cc:3:
../../../gdkglext/gdkglextmm-config.h:17:2: error: #error "Installed GdkGLExt library doesn't have multihead support."
 #error "Installed GdkGLExt library doesn't have multihead support."

Together with a bunch of variables not declared in this scope. Any hints how to fix that?

sorry, as I said above, no.
I suppose you're installing it for vbam (the only thing on SBo that needs it), but I think the only option for you is to revert to gtkglext-1.2.0 (and install pangox-compat) and then build gtkglextmm.
unfortunately gtkglext and gtkglextmm are stalled since 2 1/2 years (see the link fskmh posted) and the latest releases are of 7 1/2 years ago.

Thanks, but if they aren't maintained anyways I think I will look for an emulator that doesn't use these libraries.

After watching this thread progress I found a little time to play with my own system which uses gtkglext for celestia and found it broken of course (since June apparently!).

I used a slightly modified version of fskmh's Slackbuild to add pangox-compat, then rebuilt gtkglext - Celestia now works (not itself rebuilt).

I am not using gtkglextmm.

So, for my own case fskmh's Slackbuild was a good fix - thanks!

Now I will try to rebuild all with ponce's approach and an updated Celestia... as time permits...

*** UPDATE ***

OK, I removed pangox-compat, then rebuilt gtkglext using Ponce's git archive and slackbuild, then rebuilt Celestia on that (same Celestia version I had been using, 1.6.1).

This seems to work fine as well, and I will leave this as the installed version of gtkglext for better compatability with current Slackware and one less package dependency that I am not using anyway.

Thanks Ponce, fskmh and all!
