Can't install GCONF :/

AriciU · 07-08-2007, 02:04 PM

I'm trying to install CompizFusion from the GIT and it's a major PITA.

When i try to do it via

Quote:

./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr/local --enable-librsvg --disable-kde && make && sudo make install

I get an error about "GCONF_HEADERS_SOURCE". This has to do with GConf so i tried to install that. I can't because it's says that it's missing some package (ORbit or something like that). I've installed that package , latest version, and it's still giving the same error so i gave up with it... It's impossible to install i guess. Can i make it install without using GCONF?

Anyway, if i try to install fusion via the regular ./configure, make...... i get an error saying that Intltool is not the latest version altough i have the latest version of intltool installed. Can i make it ./configure without using intltool (--remove-intltool or something like that).

This has been causing me major headaches for the last couple of days and i'm thinking of giving up on that crap all together. I have it installed under Ubuntu without any problems... but that uses Gnome so it's expected to work...

Noone seems to know anything on any forum about slack12 and comp. fusion so this is my last try untill someone posts a faq/how-to somewhere for it.

Have you looked into Gnome libs? gnashley had them for 11.0 on his mirror, but I don't know if Gilbert has compiled and uploaded them for Slackware 12.0 as well.
Someone asked yesterday or the day before about some Gnome for Slackware (Slackbot Gnome) -- on that link I read something about different flavours (only basic libraries up till full Gnome install), so that might be a choice as well if you really need gconf.

I am NOT sure if gconf can be compiled another way but I fear you need some of those libs ...

AriciU · 07-08-2007, 02:30 PM

I see. There no way i'm installing Gnome just so i can compile that....

I have gconf without gnome. I remember having big problems, but it was a while back when slack 12 was simmering away in -current, so I cant give you a step-by-step, but its not impossible. I think I needed it for libgphoto.

Looking in my 'compile' directory, I see I built orbit as well (ORBit2-2.14.7).

So if I can do it, so can you.

On a stock Slackware 12, compiling these in the order listed builds everything just fine.

intltool
docbook-xml
scrollkeeper
docbook-xsl
gtk-doc
orbit2
libbonobo
gconf

You could probably ditch gtk-doc and maybe another one or two. Try it and see. Those are hardly any extra packages at all.

That or look for a --disable-gconf in the original source your trying to compile. You can build compiz with --disable-gconf so if your building something that works with compiz, then it would seem really silly to impose a gconf dep when compiz itself doesn't...

EDIT:

I have a feeling you might be able to get away with this:

intltool
orbit2
libbonobo
gconf

But I'm not overly sure. Only way to find out is to try..

AriciU · 07-08-2007, 05:00 PM

I'll give it a try with those packages. I remember some error with gtk-doc... I thought it just pointed to the /doc directory so i was trying like crazy to do it with --without-gtk-doc or something like that

Hope it works this time. I just reinstalled slackware 12 because i messed it up trying to install gconf and compiz-fusion. It would freeze about every 10mins or so and i had to do ctrl-alt-backspace; startx; only to freeze again in another 10mins.

AriciU · 07-08-2007, 05:34 PM

I found docbook-xsl but can't seem to find docbook-xml. All i got was a .zip file from http://www.docbook.org/xml/ witch i can't/don't know how to install.

AriciU · 07-08-2007, 05:47 PM

Installed it

Thanks! Will try to install fusion now.

AriciU · 07-08-2007, 06:04 PM

This sucks. I install GCONF-2.xx (latest version) and still couldn't build compiz because of the error:

See the Autoconf documentation.

autoreconf: /usr/bin/autoconf failed with exit status: 1

So i tried to install GConf-1.xxx (latest version) but got the same error as few hours ago:

This is driving me insane!

Now i'm getting:

plugins/Makefile.am:143: Libtool library used but `LIBTOOL' is undefined
plugins/Makefile.am:143: The usual way to define `LIBTOOL' is to add `AC_PROG_LIBTOOL'

plugins/Makefile.am:143: its definition is in aclocal's search path.

AC_PROG_LIBTOOL exists in configure.ac

How can i install this macro if i don't have it?

jong357 · 07-08-2007, 06:28 PM

What's the git command to grab compizfusion?

These are all the latest packages. I'm stuck at step one... compiling /compiz

AriciU · 07-08-2007, 06:40 PM

Ok. Now i'm getting somewhere. I got rid of all the macro errors by installing Glib and libtool.

Now i'm getting this error:

This error is not "suggestive" on what to install next at all unfortunately.

EDIT:

Took a look in configure.ac and found out that it needs this:

Quote:

COMPIZ_REQUIRES="libpng \
xcomposite \
xfixes \
xdamage \
xrandr \
xinerama \
ice \
sm \
libxml-2.0 \
libxslt \
libstartup-notification-1.0 >= 0.7"

PKG_CHECK_MODULES(COMPIZ, $COMPIZ_REQUIRES)
AC_SUBST(COMPIZ_REQUIRES)

It didn't give a specific error as to witch is missing but i'm gonna install them and see what happens next.

AriciU · 07-08-2007, 07:16 PM

Bleh. Had to edit and comment a bunch of lines in configure.ac to stop the error spitting and managed to ./configure.

Now when i do make i get
