Gaim 2

Mr Green · 2006-03-28 10:51:57

Hi,

I am building Gaim 2 for Arch64.... but getting this error

checking for pkg-config... no
checking for GLIB - version >= 2.0.0... no
*** A new enough version of pkg-config was not found.
*** See http://www.freedesktop.org/software/pkgconfig/
configure: error:
*** GLib 2.0 is required to build Gaim; please make sure you have the GLib
*** development headers installed. The latest version of GLib is
*** always available at http://www.gtk.org/.
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.
==> ERROR: Build Failed.  Aborting...

Anyone give me any help ?

Have a feeling I need to rebuild glib ..... but pkgconfig I'm very confused

The glib2 pkg should be fine. But you can try to recompile it. It guess you need another configure option "--with-libdir" or something like that or a patch is needed.

For now I cannot understand why you try to compile unstable software. I think there is enough space for testing existing packages. A lot of bugs should be found and fixed. That is much more important on the way becoming an official port.

Its just that gaim2 is much better than gaim

Thanks for your help

You're using this PKGBUILD?

Mr Green · 2006-03-28 12:03:05

errr no ... but I'll give it a go ;-)

Drops out with the same error ..... ;-(

Mr Green · 2006-03-28 12:29:46

Just tried rebuilding under Arch32 .... no problem at all

checking for pkg-config... /usr/bin/pkg-config
checking for GLIB - version >= 2.0.0... yes (version 2.8.6)
checking for pkg-config... (cached) /usr/bin/pkg-config
checking for GTK+ - version >= 2.0.0... yes (version 2.8.12)
checking for gaim... /usr/bin/gaim
checking for X... libraries , headers 
checking for gethostbyname... yes

Whats going on ? is it a paths thing ?

Err odd, Gaim 2.0 is working fine here. I just built it using aurbuild but I stripped it down a bit, I'll try rebuilding it (stupid aurbuild doesn't keep copies lying around ) for you and email you a link

Mr Green · 2006-03-28 13:00:32

Hi Cam,

Dude I like managed to build it now ... had to build pkgconfig & rebuild perl for it to work

Not done this much source stuff since using Gentoo

@andy could you add pkgconfig please

Cam · 2006-03-28 13:06:39

Okay cool! Jump on IRC if you're online

It's not so easy to understand your englisch man :? Can you write more slowly

Mr Green · 2006-03-28 13:33:08

@Andy
