parcellite for x86_64

[GNUser]

I'm trying to compile it myself from the source code here:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/parcellite/files/parcellite/parcellite-1.1.6/parcellite-1.1.6.tar.gz/download

make errors out here:

Code: [Select]

bruno@box:~/Downloads/parcellite-1.1.6$ ./configure --prefix=/usr/local
...
bruno@box:~/Downloads/parcellite-1.1.6$ make

make[1]: *** [Makefile:323: all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/bruno/Downloads/parcellite-1.1.6'
make: *** [Makefile:261: all] Error 2

I can't figure out how to fix this:

Never mind. I don't have time to troubleshoot the compilation right now, so I cobbled together a portable version of parcellite for myself.

Nevertheless, the extension request stands. A minimalistic clipboard manager would be nice to have in the repository.

The error I see is this:

Code: [Select]

gcc -I.. -DPARCELLITELOCALEDIR=\""/usr/local/share/locale"\" -g -O2   -o parcellite main.o utils.o daemon.o history.o keybinder.o preferences.o eggaccelerators.o attr_list.o -lgtk-x11-2.0  -lX11 -lgdk-x11-2.0 -lpango-1.0 -lgobject-2.0 -lglib-2.0 -lgtk-x11-2.0
/usr/local/bin/ld: utils.o: undefined reference to symbol 'g_file_new_for_path'
/usr/local/bin/ld: /usr/local/lib/libgio-2.0.so.0: error adding symbols: DSO missing from command line
If you change that line to read:

Code: [Select]

gcc -I.. -DPARCELLITELOCALEDIR=\""/usr/local/share/locale"\" -g -O2   -o parcellite main.o utils.o daemon.o history.o keybinder.o preferences.o eggaccelerators.o attr_list.o -L/usr/local/lib -lgtk-x11-2.0  -lX11 -lgdk-x11-2.0 -lpango-1.0 -lgobject-2.0 -lglib-2.0 -lgtk-x11-2.0 -lgio-2.0..make succeeds.

You can also fix this with:

Code: [Select]

LIBS="-lgio-2.0" ./configure --blah --blah

Thank you, juanito. That got me over the hump. I'm putting together an extension now.

P.S. Why do compilation-time errors have to be so extraordinarily cryptic and unhelpful?

I found a newer version (1.2.1) on github and created an extension from it.
Extension submitted.
