Makefile problem while building gobject-introspection

coltson · 11-02-2021, 07:21 PM

While compiling gobject introspection I receive this error message:

Code:

make target `/glib-2.0/include/glibconfig.h', needed by `GLib-2.0.gir'.  Stop.

Perhaps relevant, 'GLib-2.0.gir' is not present on the gir directory of gobject-intsrospection.
Another possible important thing is that glibconfig.h is the only source file that is not located under the include dir of Glib (that I installed in its own directory). Instead, it is under

Code:

lib/glib-2.0/include

. Perhaps not important, as I copied the file to include and it did not change the outcome.

My configure command:

Code:

CPPFLAGS=-I/media/34GB/Arquivos-de-Programas-Linux/Python-2.6/include/python2.6/ ./configure --prefix=/media/34GB/Arquivos-de-Programas-Linux/Gobject-introspection-1.29.0 PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/media/34GB/Arquivos-de-Programas-Linux/Glib-2.48.0/lib/pkgconfig/:/media/34GB/Arquivos-de-Programas-Linux/Cairo-1.10.0/lib/pkgconfig/:/media/34GB/Arquivos-de-Programas-Linux/Pixman-0.18.4/lib/pkgconfig/:/media/34GB/Arquivos-de-Programas-Linux/Fontconfig-2.8.0/lib/pkgconfig/:/media/34GB/Arquivos-de-Programas-Linux/Freetype-2.2.1/lib/pkgconfig/:/media/34GB/Arquivos-de-Programas-Linux/Png-1.2.14/lib/pkgconfig/:/media/34GB/Arquivos-de-Programas-Linux/xorg/Xrender-0.9.0.2/lib/pkgconfig/:/media/34GB/Arquivos-de-Programas-Linux/xorg//Xorgproto-2018.1/share/pkgconfig/:/media/34GB/Arquivos-de-Programas-Linux/xorg/X11-1.4.4/lib/pkgconfig/:/media/34GB/Arquivos-de-Programas-Linux/xorg/Xcb-1.13/lib/pkgconfig/:/media/34GB/Arquivos-de-Programas-Linux/xorg/Pthread-stubs-0.1/lib/pkgconfig/:/media/34GB/Arquivos-de-Programas-Linux/xorg/Xau-1.0.0/lib/pkgconfig/:/media/34GB/Arquivos-de-Programas-Linux/FFI-3.3/lib/pkgconfig/

I am open to any suggestions.

I guess a variable was set incorrectly (or just missing), but I don't know which one. this path is not correct: `/glib-2.0/include/glibconfig.h'

^This.

@OP. Usually, you can run ./configure --help and see what options are available and their default values.

Anyway,

Code:

--prefix=/media/34GB/Arquivos-de-Programas-Linux/Gobject-introspection-1.29.0

doesn't seem right to me. --prefix means the installation prefix. Is this where you're going to install GI?

Have you run ./autogen.sh as described in the docs? Also pay attention to this:

Code:

  echo "You need to install the gnome-common module and make"
  echo "sure the gnome-autogen.sh script is in your \$PATH."

And I suppose for a GI version this old, you'll have to use an equally old version of gnome-common, probably 2.34.

Yes.

No, but there isn't a autogen.sh anyway.

Not sure where you read this, but there is nothing that mentions this gnome-common in configure --help

I did a

Code:

grep glibconfig.h Makefile

and it returned:

Code:

$(GLIB_LIBDIR)/glib-2.0/include/glibconfig.h \

Then I issued a

Code:

grep GLIB_LIBDIR Makefile

and it returned a

Code:

GLIB_LIBDIR = $(shell pkg-config --variable=libdir glib-2.0)
            -I$(GLIB_LIBDIR)/glib-2.0/include \
                $(GLIB_LIBDIR)/glib-2.0/include/glibconfig.h \

I assume this variable was set through PKG_CONFIG_PATH, based on some .pc file on Glib dir, like glib-2.0.pc. There one can read:

Code:

prefix=/media/34GB/Arquivos-de-Programas-Linux/Glib-2.48.0
exec_prefix=${prefix}
libdir=${exec_prefix}/lib
includedir=${prefix}/include

and

Code:

Cflags: -I${includedir}/glib-2.0 -I${libdir}/glib-2.0/include

If GLIB_LIBDIR = exec_prefix + libdir + -I${libdir}/glib-2.0/include it should be right, I guess, but since it does not work, it probably is not.

Is there a way to verify the value of:

Code:


	Code:
	GLIB_LIBDIR = $(shell pkg-config --variable=libdir glib-2.0)
            -I$(GLIB_LIBDIR)/glib-2.0/include \
                $(GLIB_LIBDIR)/glib-2.0/include/glibconfig.h \

(nice work)
you can simply execute: pkg-config --variable=libdir glib-2.0
it should return something useful (either the location of that dir or an error message).

It returned nothing unfortunately.

I opened a thread about it on gobject gitlab, hopefully will be an answer.

I guess it means that glib-2.0 (dev package) was not installed properly.
If you know where is it exactly located you can specify GLIB_LIBDIR manually. But I think the system should find it automatically.
