Compile XFCE 4.10

botzko · 05-27-2012, 12:56 PM

I have installed xfce 4.8 and now I want to compile xfce 4.10. I have problems compile exo-0.8.0. The error I receive is:

Code:

  CCLD   exo-desktop-item-edit
exo_desktop_item_edit-main.o: In function `exo_die_help':

I set

Code:

PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/tmp/xfce-build-dir/package-xfce/usr/lib64/pkgconfig:/usr/local/lib64/pkgconfig:/usr/lib64/pkgconfig"

This help me to compile packages needed by exo. I think the problem is that exo include the files from installed xfce 4.8. I try to change the include path with

Code:

CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH="/tmp/xfce-build-dir/package-xfce/usr/include:/tmp/xfce-build-dir/package-xfce/usr/include/xfce4:/tmp/xfce-build-dir/package-xfce/usr/include/xfce4/libxfce4ui-1"
C_INCLUDE_PATH="/tmp/xfce-build-dir/package-xfce/usr/include:/tmp/xfce-build-dir/package-xfce/usr/include/xfce4:/tmp/xfce-build-dir/package-xfce/usr/include/xfce4/libxfce4ui-1"

but with no luck.

Can someone tell me what I need to solve the problem?

P.S. There was no xfce installed when I compile xfce 4.8 and I have no such problems.

Please tell us which distribution you use.

Also, have your read this - http://docs.xfce.org/xfce/building

This was the first thing I check (I use it to compile xfce 4.8) but I did not find the solution there. I check the configuration options of exo package but with no success.

Did you have a look at this thread ? On page 3, I saw that ralvex made a Slackbuild available for XFCE 4.10, may be you could give it a try.

Hmm I missed it. Fast check show me that after each package compilation there is `make install`. In this case my error will be soved but I do not want to use `make install` I want to use only `make install DESTDIR=$PKG`. In this case I will have every package installed in $PKG and next packages must check in $PKG for dependances. So I must set exo package to use $PKG for dependances but can not find how to do it.
I am afraid that if I use `make install` it can destroy my xfce 4.8.

hello lads.

first of all, sorry for jumping into this thread this abruptly, im facing a very similar problem botzko had also building xfce4 4.10 but with exo-0.7.1 not 8:
