some configure error

Question No. 1:
I'm having a hard time with getting gnome-vfs-2.21.90 installed on my Slackware-current (two months ago). I need it for gtkpod. I have installed some dependencies like
gail-1.21.5 GConf-2.21.90 libgnomecanvas-2.20.1.1 ORBit2-2.14.12 and gnome-mime-data-2.18.0. when ./configure -ing gnome-vfs I get the following error:

Code:

checking for LIBGNOMEVFS... configure: error: Package requirements (glib-2.0 >= 2.9.3 gmodule-no-export-2.0 >= 2.9.3 gthread-2.0 >= 2.9.3 gobject-2.0 >= 2.9.3 gconf-2.0 >= 1.1.1 libxml-2.0 >= 2.6.0 gnome-mime-data-2.0 dbus-glib-1 >= 0.60) were not met:

No package 'gnome-mime-data-2.0' found

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables LIBGNOMEVFS_CFLAGS
and LIBGNOMEVFS_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

but I have installed gnome-mime-data-2.18.0 without errors.
I got it working, don't remember how, with Slackware 11 on my old notebook.

Question No. 2:
I cannot make pommed. I have no problem making wmomme but with pommed I get:

I got the same with pommed 1.14.

Any help will be appreciated.

Answer #1:
GNOME-VFS is looking for the file gnome-mime-data-2.0.pc and can't find it. Generally metadata files are installed in /lib/pkgconfig, /usr/lib/pkgconfig. /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig, etc. Find out where gnome-mime-data-2.0.pc is installed and either move it to $GNOME_PREFIX/lib/pkgconfig or add it's installed path to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable.

Answer #2:
Just poking around the pommed code, it looks like those variable that are undefined are provided by libConfuse.

Thank you so much for your answers. For #1

Code:

# ln -s /usr/local/share/pkgconfig/gnome-mime-data-2.0.pc /usr/lib/pkgconfig/gnome-mime-data-2.0.pc

did the job for me. don't know why it installed in /usr/local/share/pkgconfig (gnome-mime-data-2.0.pc is the only file there...).
Now it configures and compiles but it doesn't install giving the error:

Code:

[...]
-- Installing ./html/index.sgml
which: no gtkdoc-rebase in (/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin)
make[2]: *** [install-data-local] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/dut_el_rest/tmp/gnome-vfs-2.21.90/doc'
make[1]: *** [install-am] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/dut_el_rest/tmp/gnome-vfs-2.21.90/doc'
make: *** [install-recursive] Error 1

I tried with

Code:

./configure --disable-gtk-doc --disable-man --disable-man-gtk-doc

but got the same

For #2:
I have confuse-2.6 installed. How do I get it working?

weibullguy · 02-17-2008, 07:03 PM

For #1:
Did you install gnome-mime-data without passing the --prefix switch to the configure script? If so, then /usr/local is the default prefix. I guess a symlink works, but the better solution is to add /usr/local/share/pkgconfig/ to your PKG_CONFIG_PATH.

gtkdoc-rebase is provided by gtk-doc version 1.9. What version of gtk-doc do you have installed? That's the price you may have to pay for using the development branch (2.21.90). If you don't want to use development software, use the 2.20.0 branch for GNOME packages.

For #2:
I just looked at the pommed code to see where those variables were defined. All I know is pommed includes confuse.h from libConfused. The confuse.h defines all the variables that pommed is complaining about. Do you have a confuse.h header with those variables defined?

valebilris · 02-18-2008, 04:15 PM

For #1:
I installed gnome-mime-data with no configure options ( ./configure && make && make install ), that is why I don't understand why it put himself there... anyway I installed gtk-doc 1.9 and it worked (and it put gtk-doc.pc in /usr/local/share/pkgconfig/ too ).

For #2:
I have a file called /usr/include/confuse.h but I-m not that good in c to clearly understand what's in it. I tried looking for cfg_'some_of_the_undefined_references' but I haven't found all of them in that file...

weibullguy · 02-19-2008, 10:27 AM

For #1:
The default path for pkg-config to search for metadata files is libdir/pkgconfig:datadir/pkgconfig where libdir is the libdir where pkg-config and datadir is the datadir where pkg-config was installed. I suspect you have pkg-config installed in /usr, not /usr/local so /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/local/share/pkgconfig is not part of the PKG_CONFIG_PATH variable. You can add those directories (recommended) rather than creating links. Just stick this in your .bashrc or .bash_profile

Code:

export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="${PKG_CONFIG_PATH}${PKG_CONFIG_PATH+:}/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/local/share/pkgconfig"

For packages that use GNU autotools, /usr/local is the default install prefix. To use a different prefix such as /usr, pass --prefix=/usr to the configure script. So your commands would be

Code:

./configure --prefix=/usr && make && make install

For #2:
I suggest you start a new thread for this specific problem. I have no use for pommed, so don't have it installed on any of my machines to be able to help any further.
