[SOLVED] pygobject3 slackbuild fails on -current

chris.willing · 03-19-2015, 09:15 PM

I have noticed similar problems while figuring out how to have support for both python2 and python3. I made some changes to pygobject3.SlackBuild which now enable me to specify something like:

Code:

    PYTHON_VERSIONS=2     sh pygobject3.SlackBuild
or  PYTHON_VERSIONS=3     sh pygobject3.SlackBuild
or  PYTHON_VERSIONS="2 3" sh pygobject3.SlackBuild

and achieve the desired result. If PYTHON_VERSIONS is not set like that, the script defaults to "2 3" i.e. support both python2 and python3, which is what I wanted for myself. I'm about to suggest these changes to the maintainer; in the meantime you could download the pygobject3.SlackBuild from https://github.com/cwilling/slackbui...ct3.SlackBuild and give it a try.

Thanks Willy and Chris for all the efforts.
Still, any build-script crashes on autogens.sh not finding my automake..... How does autogen.sh does this??? it seems to refer to gnome-common for this....
I've got gnome-common-3.4.0.1-noarch-1_SBo..... might that one be wrong?

Ah, I just read your original post more carefully and the problem is a bit clearer. Unfortunately the gnome-autogen.sh that comes in the gnome-common-3.4.0.1 package is not too clever about how it determines whether you have a good automake installed; its hard coded with particular versions that it will accept - the highest being 1.11 - and the automake in -current is 1.14.1 i.e. gnome-autogen.sh will fail. I had already locally upgraded (and since forgot doing so) my gnome-common to 3.14.0 so that newer automake versions would be accepted. You can download http://ftp.acc.umu.se/pub/gnome/sour...-3.14.0.tar.xz and change the version numbers in the gnome-common.SlackBuild; then everything should just work.

Hi Chris, using the newer gnome-common and your pygobject3.Slackbuild worked like a charm:

I only needed to repair the gnome-common.SLackBuild to remove some terms like INSTALL, NEWS etc. in the line where the documentation is created. The script choked on this line because these files were no longer present in the 3.14 version.

Thanks a lot and my thumbs up for getting these changes accepted by the maintainer of these SBo packages.

Cheers,

Rob
