Problem with transmission.SlackBuild

daniel w. · 12-07-2013, 02:12 PM

Hello everyone. Hope topic, and everything is fine.
Sorry for my language skills also.

But lets go straight to my problem.

I'm running Slackware 14.1 multilib.

And Ive done it as Im doing it always.

http://slackbuilds.org/repository/14.../transmission/

Downloaded,unpacked - done as usual.

[CODE]

Code:

What ./transmission.SlackBuild  gives me?

make[1]: Entering directory `/tmp/SBo/transmission-2.77/gtk'
make  all-recursive
make[2]: Entering directory `/tmp/SBo/transmission-2.77/gtk'
Making all in icons
make[3]: Entering directory `/tmp/SBo/transmission-2.77/gtk/icons'
make[3]: Nothing to be done for `all'.
make[3]: Leaving directory `/tmp/SBo/transmission-2.77/gtk/icons'
make[3]: Entering directory `/tmp/SBo/transmission-2.77/gtk'
  CC     actions.o
actions.c:15:24: fatal error: glib/gi18n.h: No such file or directory
 #include <glib/gi18n.h>[/CODE]

So tried to do

locate glib.h

Output

Code:

Output/usr/share/gtk-doc/html/glib/glib.html
/usr/src/linux-3.10.17/include/config/blk/dev/bsglib.h
/usr/src/linux-3.10.17/drivers/isdn/hardware/eicon/debuglib.h

/usr/include/dbus-1.0/dbus/dbus-glib.h
/usr/include/taglib/taglib.h
/usr/include/seamonkey-2.22/jpeglib.h

AND
locate gil8n.h

Code:

usr/include/glib-2.0/glib/gi18n.h

I do not know how to handle this problem
Can You advise me what should I do now? How can i handle this problem ?

P.S Thats my first thread here so sorry for mistakes.
Thank You all for Your contribution, Waiting for any advice.

Best regards

Hi daniel w,

If you are compiling Transmission you need to have those libraries in folder where you are compiling the program. So just copy that libraries into the folder where you are compiling the program and everything should work properly.

Hello Protoss, and thank You for advice.

[CODE]bash-4.2# ls
BnetLog.txt doinst.sh slack-desc transmission.SlackBuild
README gi18n.h transmission-2.77.tar.bz2 transmission.info
[/CODE]

Im still getting the same error

Code:

make[3]: Entering directory `/tmp/SBo/transmission-2.77/gtk'
  CC     actions.o
actions.c:15:24: fatal error: glib/gi18n.h: No such file or directory

Any other ideas ?

But anyway thanks a lot

No, you don't copy the file into the directory where you're building Transmission.

Note that your gi18n.h (which is a header file, not a library) is installed in /usr/include/glib-2.0/glib. Transmission is likely looking in /usr/include/glib for the gi18n.h header file. You need to make sure transmission is looking for header files relative to /usr/include/glib-2.0.

I do not have a problem building transmission on my -current system, so I can't reproduce. First, let's see the output of the following:

Code:

grep GTK_CFLAGS /tmp/SBo/transmission-2.77/config.log

Code:

grep GTK_CFLAGS /tmp/SBo/transmission-2.77/gtk/Makefile

In both cases, you should see the text I've highlighted in red below. Once you know whether or not /usr/include/glib-2.0 is being included, you can start to figure out where the problem is occurring.

Code:

GTK_CFLAGS = -pthread -I/usr/include/gtk-3.0 -I/usr/include/atk-1.0 -I/usr/include/at-spi2-atk/2.0 -I/usr/include/pango-1.0 -I/usr/include/gio-unix-2.0/ -I/usr/include/cairo -I/usr/include/gdk-pixbuf-2.0 -I/usr/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/lib64/glib-2.0/include -I/usr/include/harfbuzz -I/usr/include/freetype2 -I/usr/include/pixman-1 -I/usr/include/libpng14

The -I is saying Include the directory when searching for header files. Transmission will look for glib/gi18n.h relative to the directories provided via the -I switches.

Hello @weibullguy and thanks for Your reply.

Outputs You requested

Code:

grep GTK_CFLAGS /tmp/SBo/transmission-2.77/config.log

Code:

ac_cv_env_GTK_CFLAGS_set=
ac_cv_env_GTK_CFLAGS_value=
pkg_cv_GTK_CFLAGS=
GTK_CFLAGS=''

UPS?
Another one

Code:

grep GTK_CFLAGS /tmp/SBo/transmission-2.77/gtk/Makefile

Code:

GTK_CFLAGS =

UPS X2?

What shall I do now?

best regards and thank for Your contribution.

do not do that !!!!!!!!!!!!!

this is not Microsoft visual studio being and used buy someone who dose not know how to use MS's visual studio

this is a Linux system !!!

You can try executing the script for transmission like this...

Code:

GTK_CFLAGS="-I/usr/include/glib" ./transmission.SlackBuild

Assuming nothing else is broken, this might get transmission built.

However, pkg-config should have picked up all the necessary GTK_CFLAGS information and it didn't. Check that you have the following *.pc files gtk+-3.0.pc, glib-2.0.pc, gio-2.0, gmodule-2.0, and gthread-2.0. They should be in the /usr/lib64/pkgconfig directory. If they exist, check the output of

Code:

pkg-config --cflags gtk+-3.0 glib-2.0 gio-2.0 gmodule-2.0 gthread-2.0

.

daniel w. · 12-09-2013, 08:06 AM

Code:

pkg-config --cflags gtk+-3.0 glib-2.0 gio-2.0 gmodule-2.0 gthread-2.0

Code:

Package atk-bridge-2.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `atk-bridge-2.0.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
Package 'atk-bridge-2.0', required by 'GTK+', not found

Damn,my system looks really bad now.
Ive installed it from DVD slack 14.0. Upgrade to current and add multilib compatibility.
Install fresh copy? Damn me. Frustrating!

Thank You Again

weibullguy · 12-09-2013, 10:39 AM

Yeah, your system looks broken. Most likely either happened when you upgraded or added multilib support. I've never had a problem upgrading using the following instructions --> http://docs.slackware.com/howtos:sla...:systemupgrade.

daniel w. · 12-10-2013, 05:09 AM

Yeah, Ive installed my system again, using current .iso.

Thread can be closed, problem unsolved

Regards and Thank you all for contribution
