libbonoboui

[althalus]

Hi Guys,

Either I'm missing something, or libgnomeui isn't available as an extension yet. In trying to compile it, I discovered that I need libbonoboui. Currently I'm getting compile errors with libbonoboui. Has anyone ever tried to compile libbonoboui, or got any solutions what the error might be? I can see a couple of bugs reported for other distros, for which the fix apparently exists in the brasero package, but I'm not trying to get brasero running.

the error:

Any specific reason for trying to build such an old version, from 2005? The latest is 2.24.2, dated 23 sep 2009. Since the bonobo extension is 2.24.1, using the latest version would be worth a try.

i have built libbonoboui and libgnomeui recently i may send these as an extension in near future

Uh......? Because I'm used to the latest being the last in the list and I was far too tired to be trying to compile anything? Thanks for pointing out my mistake.

[althalus]

Whilst using a more recent build does resolve my initial problem, during make it is trying to find libexpat.la and popt.la in /usr/lib, except they are in /usr/local/lib - Any advice on how to fix this? I'm coming up blank at the moment.

Arslan, if you're not ready to submit them yet, could you perhaps email them to me? Or post some build instructions?

Create symlinks.

sure i will send them to your forum mail address later in this day

athalus-  are all your extensions up to date?  Since something is looking in /usr/lib for expat and popt, that means there is an .la file that has the wrong entries in it.  And though symlinking to /usr/lib would allow the package to build, that would create another extension that has the wrong entries in it for popt.la and expat.la.  It would be good to find what extension has the wrong entries in it so it could be fixed.  You copy of base-dev and/or Xorg-dev not being up to date is what I suspect.  This command will help you locate the culprit, run it in both /usr/lib and /usr/local/lib:

Code: [Select]

for I in `ls *.la`; do cat "$I" | grep "/usr/lib/libexpat.la" >/dev/null && echo "$I"; done

for I in `ls *.la`; do cat "$I" | grep "/usr/lib/libpopt.la" > /dev/null && echo "$I"; done


It appears that libgnomecanvas-2.la  and libnotify.la  have "/usr/lib/libexpat.la" as the location for libexpat.la though libexpat.la now resides in /usr/local/lib.  And libgnome-2.la has "/usr/lib/libpopt.la" as the location for libpopt.la.      Those entries can be adjusted manually, and I can do that in a few minutes.

[Jason W]

libgnome.tcz, libgnomecanvas.tcz, and libnotify.tcz have had this corrected.

Please redownload your copies of those extensions and try building libbonoboui again.

There may  be other extensions with this same issue that I didn't have installed on my box, especially since popt was recently moved to /usr/local

[althalus]

Thanks Jason, that's done it. Successful compile now.

After running those commands, libobrender.la in openbox.tcz also looks for /usr/lib/libexpat.la

[Jason W]

Great, I will fix that .la file too.


EDIT:  Fixed.
