Error in Installing bluefish 2.2.3 on Slackware 14.0 (kernel 3.2.29)
 
Hi all,

I have issue when I am trying to install bluefish 2.2.3 on the latest Slackware 14.0 (with custom kernel 3.2.29). Basically I downloaded the Bluefish 2.2.3 tar file and after untar it I did ./configure and make, however the make failed with the following error:

Code:
make[5]: Entering directory `/root/bluefish-2.2.3/src/plugin_about'
/bin/sh ../../libtool --tag=CC  --mode=compile gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -DLOCALEDIR=\"/usr/local/share/locale\" -DPKGDATADIR=\"/usr/local/share/bluefish\" -I. -I../../src    -g -O2 -Wall -pipe -I/usr/include/python2.7  -MT about.lo -MD -MP -MF .deps/about.Tpo -c -o about.lo about.c

about.c:22:21: fatal error: gmodule.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
I have installed both glib-1.2.10 and glib2-2.32-4 so the gmodule.h exist in both /usr/include/glib-1.2 and /usr/include/glib-2.0 but somehow the compile command cannot find them. If I manually copy one of the gmodule.h to /usr/include, it seemed that the compiler could find it but it again stuck at some other missing header ( I think it was glib.h) So I don't think keep copying header files into /usr/include is the right solution here. So what am I missing here ? Is it the problem on my slackware system configuration ? or is it something wrong with the directive on the make file ? This is the first time I try to compile anything on this brand new slackware 14.0.

Thanks

Just out of curiosity, did you do a full install? Bluefish really doesn't have any dependencies, so it missing gmodule.h is odd.

Also, are you aware of slackbuilds.org and sbopkg? Between those and src2pkg, I almost never compile by hand anymore.

No issues with bluefish-2.2.3 on any OS :
Slackware 14 (i686), Slackware64 - 14 (x86_64), etc. etc.:
$ ./configure && make : OK.

A corrupt source ? Or a corrupt OS ?

bluefish-2.2.3.tar.bz2 http://freefr.dl.sourceforge.net/pro...-2.2.3.tar.bz2

As already said, please always use Slackbuilds, if available :
Bluefish http://slackbuilds.org/repository/14...ment/bluefish/
Kompozer http://slackbuilds.org/repository/14...ment/kompozer/

! And : The required glib2 (-2.32.4) is always installed by default.
( 'glib-1.2.10' is for (very) old applications only.)

@knudfl & @Hangdog42,

I have tried to use slackbuilds for installing bluefish, I downloaded the slackbuild for bluefish and downloaded the bz2 source, put it in the same directory and run ./bluefish.Slackbuild. It gives me the same error exactly at the same place (see part of the process of ./bluefish.Slackbuild below. if you need more I can post the whole thing).

@Hangdog42, No I didn't do full install. I try to optimize my build, even the kernel is customized specifically for my machine...
@knudfl, I downloaded the bluefish from two different sources (tar.bz2 and tar.gz) and they both gave the same error. So my OS is corrupt here ? It seems to run OK. I even use it to write this thread. I think there may be some path that is not correct here ? so the -I directive or some other directive that supposed to include everything under /usr/include sub-directories did not work ?
I installed bluefish 2.0 before on customized 13.37 and no issue there.

Well, then please reinstall the package glib2-2.32.4-<arch>-1.txz

It is on your install DVD : slackware/l/
Or, if it's a 64bits OS : slackware64/l/

aherrys 12-23-2012 03:44 PM
Yeah I have reinstalled the glib and the gcc multiple times but still the same... well this is the latest update of what I found. I have added manually the /usr/include/glib-2.0 into the C_INCLUDE_PATH directive and the compile went through that part only to be stuck in some other missing headers files. So I can go on and keep adding manually all the sub directories under the /usr/include in the C_INCLUDE_PATH and I think that the compilation will go through fine eventually. However that indicates that something is seriously wrong with my system. I have done some searching and found that one of gcc default search paths for headers files is /usr/include as described here:

http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/cpp/Search-Path.html

And as I said in the beginning of the thread that if I manually copy the 'missing' header files into the directory /usr/include then it will find it. So it seems that the gcc will only find the header files if it is directly placed on the usr/include directory and not all other numerous sub directories under it. I am not sure whether the /usr/include path that is defined as the default path for the gcc search directory means searching only in that directory or means also searching in all the sub directories under it. The link I gave above doesn't say anything about it.
But I am sure that the need to add all the sub directories under the /usr/include path manually is not a normal way that the gcc and linux should work, so there is something is missing here. I am not sure what, I will search around some more for answers. If I cannot find anything in a couple of days, I just gonna nuke my system and reinstall it from scratch again and retrace where I had gone wrong... :)

Thank you for your help.

Might not be much help to you but I have just recompiled Bluefish 2.2.3 under Slackware -current (not too much difference with 14.0 atm) and on a 64bit multilib system it compiled cleanly. I suspect a full install of Slackware might be part of the solution here, hdds are cheap these days after all...
