Building GNOME from CVS using jhbuild continued…

Saturday, May 28th, 2005

Got most of jhbuild running now but there are still problems:

– mozilla doesn’t install the nss headers so I had to copy them from mozilla/public/nss and mozilla/private/nss to $(prefix)/include/mozilla-{$MOZILLA_VERSION}/nss to get evolution-data-server to build
– librsvg fails to build with gcc4 because of -Werror being set
– nautilus-cd-burner needs a patch to work with the latest HAL
this is available in the fedora core rawhide srpm
– gstreamer doesn’t build with api docs
– gal doesn’t pass make install because of some problem in with the api docs
– gal installs gal.pc but evolution is looking for gal-2.6.pc

Building GNOME from CVS using jhbuild

Saturday, May 28th, 2005

I’ve been trying to get a full jhbuild running for GNOME 2.12 lately and ran into a couple of problems which should be fixed now hopefully.

There are a few problems with building API docs here and there, and a couple of other issues that I have commited fixes for like broken translations and regular build fixes. Johan also commited a fix for jhbuild to use HEAD of hal and dbus for 2.12 and the stable branches for 2.10. Seems to be working just fine here at least.

I’ll continue to work towards getting a full build running with no problems and file bugs against modules with problems and workarounds where I can find those.

Couldn’t make it to GUADEC this year for various reasons, but I miss being there and look forward to seeing you all next time, if not earlier somewhere. Enjoy the conference! We’ll be drinking beer Irish style agaian before you know it :-)
