AWN + Xfce4, error compiling

vehn · 03-01-2008, 08:58 AM

New version AWN (avant windows navigator) don't need gnome's lib in dependences (!!! =). I compile AWN from source and get following error:

In file included from main.c:48:
awn-task.h:27:29: error: libwnck/libwnck.h: No such file or directory
awn-task.h:28:40: error: libwnck/window-action-menu.h: No such file or directory
In file included from awn-task.h:35,

In file included from main.c:48:
awn-task.h:72: error: expected declaration specifiers or '...' before 'WnckWindow'
awn-task.h:73: error: expected '=', ',', ';', 'asm' or '__attribute__' before '*' token

but: ls /var/log/packages/libwnck-2.18.3-i486-1
/var/log/packages/libwnck-2.18.3-i486-1

Source AWN https://launchpad.net/awn/0.2/0.2.6/...r-0.2.6.tar.gz

Can anyone help with this?

Thanks,
Murat.

Install libwnck. It's not a GNOME library just because it's developed by GNOME.

vehn · 03-02-2008, 01:17 AM

Yes, i have installed libwnck-2.18.3-i486-1

libwnck-2.18.3-i486-1 is probably only the runtime files. You need to install the development package for libwnck. It will have a dev or devel in the name.

Never mind....that's a Slackware package isn't it?

Start with the first error. Do you have libwnck.h installed on your system?

Yes.
#locate libwnck.h
/usr/include/libwnck-1.0/libwnck/libwnck.h

and..
#locate window-action-menu.h
/usr/include/xfce4/libxfcegui4/netk-window-action-menu.h
/usr/include/libwnck-1.0/libwnck/window-action-menu.h !!!!
/usr/share/gtk-doc/html/libwnck/libwnck-window-action-menu.html

You need to make sure -I/usr/include/libwnck-1.0 is part of the CFLAGS for AWN to find the libwnck headers. libwnck provides a meta-data file for pkg-config to use. Do you have pkg-config installed? That would be the best route, otherwise try configuring AWN with the appropriate CFLAGS

Code:

CFLAGS="-I/usr/include/libwnck-1.0" ./configure

Yes! Thanks for your help =)) I had battle with this error full night

But now i have new error:

I tryed CFLAGS="-I/usr/include/libwnck-1.0" LDFLAGS="-L/usr/lib" ./configure or CFLAGS="-I/usr/include/libwnck-1.0" LIBS="-l/usr/lib ./configure but it don't help for me. Here is my './configure --help', section "Some influential environment variables"

Some influential environment variables:
CC C compiler command
CFLAGS C compiler flags

What i am doing wrong?
Sorry for my bad english, it is not my native language =)

weibullguy · 03-02-2008, 06:23 PM

This is hosed!

Code:

//usr/lib/pkgconfig/libwnck/libwnck-1.la

Somehow you've got AWN looking in /usr/lib/pkgconfig/libwnck for the libwnck library!! I'm guessing you've got something screwed up in your environment variables; probably as a result of trying to fix the original problem. Did you pass /usr/lib/pkgconfig/libwnck to any env variables?

1. install libwnck from www.slacky.eu
2. configure: CFLAGS="-I/usr/include/libwnck-1.0" ./configure --prefix=/usr --with-gconf=no --with-desktop=xfce4 --without-vala
