[SOLVED] compiling python-gtkextra

I'm trying to compile the python bindingsto the gtk extra widget set. I have python, pygtk, pygobject, and python-numeric installed. The program I'm trying to run specifies the latest cvs version, so I checked it out and did ./autogen.sh and make, but get the following error almost instantly:

Making all in gtkextra
make[1]: Entering directory
`/home/samwise/ABS/python-gtkextra/src/python-gtkextra2-build/gtkextra'

           --override gtkextra.override \
           --prefix pygtkextra gtkextra.defs) > gen-gtkextra.c \
       && cp gen-gtkextra.c gtkextra.c \
       && rm -f gen-gtkextra.c
Traceback (most recent call last):

make[1]: Leaving directory
`/home/samwise/ABS/python-gtkextra/src/python-gtkextra2-build/gtkextra'

Can anyone help?

btw the python-gtkextra project seems pretty dead - the last cvs revision was in 2005! But my fellow student apparently managed to compile it on ubuntu and is happily hacking away on this program using it. Could the Arch pygtk etc packages be too new? Seeing as this looks unmaintained, are we going to have problems using this software?

Sorry for the late reply. python-gtkextra does seem dead but if you want to use it anyway, the following commands should land you a working build:

cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@python-gtkextra.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/python-gtkextra co -P python-gtkextra2
cd python-gtkextra2/gtkextra
svn co https://code.fluendo.com/pigment/svn/trunk/pigment-python/codegen
cd ..

I only tested ./autogen.sh and make; didn't try to install it or use it.

Awesome! I can comfirm that it builds successfully. I'd almost given up on this. If it works, i'll mark this as solved and put a package up on the AUR. Thanks!

EDIT: I also got it to build by copying the directory '/usr/share/pygobject/2.0/codegen' into the same spot.

EDIT: There is now a package in the AUR.
