GTK+ compile error : glib-mkenums

Sjaaksken · 12-06-2005, 01:27 AM

Hi,

I'm tryin to install the gimp from source and for that I need to install gtk+ (2.8.0)

I've installed every dependency (ats, pango, glib-devel, cairo) but every time I try 'make' for the gtk+ I get the same (annoying) error:

Code:

&& echo timestamp > s-enum-types-h
/bin/sh: glib-mkenums: command not found
make[2]: *** [s-enum-types-h] error 127
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/Sjaaksken/gtk+-2.8.0/gdk-pixbuf'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/Sjaaksken/gtk+-2.8.0'
make: *** [all] error 2

I litteraly tried every possible thing that crossed my mind (installing other versions of glib-devel, deleting the glib-mkenums, making sure there aren't older versions in a different folder), all to no avail.

I checked and the glib-mkenums file is there in the apropiate folder, I don't see what causes this error. It's starting to work on my nerves.

Anyone with a similar problem or a solution?

Thx in advance,

sjaak

glib-mkenums comes with glib2-devel

The tool 'pin' is very helpful in these cases. It searches the ARCHIVES.gz file from you installation medium. In this case I typed 'pin glib-mkenums' and got:

Code:

------------------------------------------------------------------
*** zgrep glib-mkenums /var/lib/pin/ARCHIVES.gz
------------------------------------------------------------------


./DVD1/suse/i586/glib2-devel-2.8.1-3.i586.rpm:    -rwxr-xr-x    1 root    root

I did the 'pin'command as u said and here's the output:

Code:

Seems to be installed allright? alltho I have no idea what the x86_64 package is doin there.

'pin' simply tells you which package contains the file you where looking for. To find out if this is already installed, you can use the rpm command, e.g.:

rpm -q glib2-devel

Sjaaksken · 12-10-2005, 05:31 PM

Code:

linuxmachien:/home/Sjaaksken # rpm -q glib2-devel
glib2-devel-2.4.6-5.1

still clueless ...

Maybe you need to specify the location of glib-mkenums with a parameter in ./configure. It may also be that another version is required. At this point, I am not experienced enough to help out. But from what I have heard, the installtion of this gtk+ version on suse is tricky.

Sjaaksken · 12-11-2005, 03:16 PM

well I tried specifyin different locations of glib-mkenums and I think it 's all related to some location difference between several of the glib and pkg-config and gdk-pixbuf packages.

I checked and rechecked the error logs and I noticed some indications:

first of all I installed glib2 and glib2-devel tru rpm, altho it gives a 'glib not installed, package needed' error in the gtk+ configure. If I download glib2 2.9.0 and compile from source it does find a glib library and displays: glib found -> 2.9.0

Also when tryin to compile gdk-pixbuf from source I got a libglib.la error (file not found). I checked this error and libglib.la is now installed as glib2-libglib.la. If I point to the glib2 folder (/opt/gnome) during configure of gdk-pixbuf it seems to continue but eventualy reproduces the same error (libglib.la not found in /usr/lib). I'm pretty damn stuck actually, I can't compile gdk-pixbuf, I can't compile gtk+2.7 or higher and ergo I can't compile gnome. It's a circular problem

Anyway thx for tryin to help me

I appreciate it abisko.

Kind regards,

Sjaak
