[SOLVED] IBus build error on sysd-svn

arch-linq · 11-05-2019, 06:57 AM

ibus 1.5.21 won't build due to dconf being broke by meson or gcc 9 ? IDK why its like this. I applied the new sed for dconf which allowed that to build now but this hasn't helped building ibus.

undefined reference to 'dconf_is_key' is the error when building. Tried git master of ibus...no help.

Fresh build of systemd-svn lfs is the base. meson 0.52 python 3.8 etc.

Loads more info needed before anyone can begin to help.
the svn version is unstable and may have build errors it is in a state of flux try using the stable version.

Here's the fix I was looking for: meson.build

dependencies: gio_dep,
- link_whole: libdconf_client,
+ link_with: libdconf_client,
)

libdconf = shared_library(

FYI Long time users like myself usually prefer the latest pkgs so we use this book almost exclusively with only the odd pkg giving trouble like this event. Goes with the territory ya might say.
