Hi all,
I'm trying to build gnome-session-3.4.2.1 on lfs 7.1 using Beyond Linux® From Scratch Version 2012-07-27
One of the Required Dependencies is giving me fits UPower-0.9.17, and its seems that this program is intended for a laptop. I'm building on a Dell 8300 desktop P-4 dual core 3.2 Ghz 2.5 gigs ram two 320 gig hd's multi-booting grub-097 windose-xp OpenSuse-11.3 which was my build host. I'm posting this from LFS 7.1 running IceWM-1.3.7 and SeaMonkey-2.10.1
I do not think I really need UPower-0.9.17. besides I cannot get it to configure due to fact it requires two progs that are not in the BLFS book.

upower config.log

:13348: $PKG_CONFIG --exists --print-errors "libimobiledevice-1.0 >= 0.9.7 libplist >= 0$
Package libimobiledevice-1.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `libimobiledevice-1.0.pc'Try `
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'libimobiledevice-1.0' found
Package libplist was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `libplist.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'libplist' found

I searhed and found these two and attempted to install:
libplist installed without a hitch
libimobiledevice-1.0 (another prog I do not need it is for I Phones and pads that have been rooted)

oops theres the third not in the book and one I do not need
which needs another dep that I cannot find (well, hav'nt really searched yet)

It did not create a config.log, but complained it needed a USB Library please install the (dev) version


I've tried to configure gnome-session --without -upower-glib to no avail ***

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.libimobiledevice-1.0

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

any sugestions or encouragement would be gladly accepted, Thanks
