gogglesmm fails to build on Slackware64-current w xine 1.2.6

Hey everyone,

I was perusing the Slackbuilds repo when I found gogglesmm. After I read the description I was convinced I wanted to try it out.

Unfortunately, I am running into some build errors during configure.

Basically, it looks like gogglesmm is set to configure w/ 1.1.16 or greater. Even though I have 1.2.6 installed, it still gives me the following error during configure:

Code:

    Search for XINE >= 1.1.16 in /usr ... 

        Check XINE Config => FOUND

xine-config is DEPRECATED. Use pkg-config instead.

xine-config is DEPRECATED. Use pkg-config instead.

xine-config is DEPRECATED. Use pkg-config instead.

        Check XINE Version => Unsupported (1.2.6)

    Search for XINE >= 1.1.16 in /usr/local ... 

 Unable to find a compatible XINE library installation. Please make

 sure the correct version is installed including the header files.

 You can use the "--xine-prefix" option to search in an

 alternative installation directory.

Failures:

  gogglesmm: gogglesmm.SlackBuild return non-zero

I tried googling around but I wasn't able to find anything related.

Any help in this matter is greatly appreciated!

Looks like they fixed the configure script in github, and the version has jumped from 0.12.1 to 1.0.0. The slackbuild is on 0.12.1.

I'm going to try rebuilding it w/ 1.0.0 from git (stable release). Hopefully that resolves it.

this is more complicated than I thouht... I had to do the following:
- build fox toolkit 1.7.52
- build the latest gogglesmm ( v 1.0.7 or v 1.0.4? its whatevers in stable):

(latest goggles fixes the configure script thing with xine, although it requires a >= fox-toolkit 1.7.50)

I'm really close! This is how for I get during compliation/ slackbuild stage:

Code:

    Done.

gzip: /tmp/SBo/package-gogglesmm/usr/man/man?/*.?: No such file or directory

I tried:

Code:

mkdir /tmp/SBo/package-gogglesmm/usr/man

mkdir /tmp/SBo/package-gogglesmm/usr/man/man?

with no luck (is ? an allowable char for directories?). Either way, at this stage its looking for a bunch of stuff under man/man?/*.?, but can't find it :(

This is the result in slackware64-14.1 via sbopkg

Code:

fox-toolkit:

  MD5SUM check for fox-1.6.49.tar.gz ... OK

  Building package fox-toolkit-1.6.49-x86_64-1_SBo.tgz ... OK

  Installing package fox-toolkit-1.6.49-x86_64-1_SBo.tgz ... OK



gogglesmm:

  MD5SUM check for gogglesmm-0.12.1.tar.xz ... OK

  Building package gogglesmm-0.12.1-x86_64-1_SBo.tgz ... OK

  Installing package gogglesmm-0.12.1-x86_64-1_SBo.tgz ... OK

Look in /tmp/SBo/package-gogglesmm/, find correct path for that gzip command and then change the relevant line in the slackbuild accordingly.

In this case it should be:

Code:

gzip -9 $PKG/usr/share/man/man?/*.?

When updating packages ahead of the SBo repo, its relatively common that the structure in upstream packages has since changed.
