libdbusmenu-gtk2 build error, GObject-2.0 not found

epsilom · 2015-10-06 15:40:41

Hi guys,

I have problem for build libdbusmenu-gtk2, this tread is similar but not the same.

the error build is:

......
/usr/bin/vapigen --library=Dbusmenu-0.4 Dbusmenu-0.4.gir
  GICOMP   Dbusmenu-0.4.gir
error: Package `GObject-2.0' not found in specified Vala API directories or GObject-Introspection GIR directories

Complete build error is here http://pastebin.com/64cWy06R

Apparently this happen only to me
This is the only package that I have a problem, I can build any other packages from aur.

My system fully updated, and I reinstalled all dependencies of this package, and nothing.

Thanks

As I asked in the other thread, have you tried to using makepkg instead of yaourt? And have you checked if there are corrupted packages using pacman -Qkk? In particular can you post the output of the following commands?

$ ls -l /usr/share/vala-0.28/vapi/gobject-2.0.vapi
$ file /usr/share/vala-0.28/vapi/gobject-2.0.vapi
$ pacman -Qikk vala
$ which vala
$ which vapigen

Thanks for your answer mauritiusdadd

Yes I run pacman -Qkk and I saw nothing strange.

$ ls -l /usr/share/vala-0.28/vapi/gobject-2.0.vapi

Ok, that seems fine... what happens if you run the vapigen manually with the following command (where ${startdir} is the directory where the PKGBUILD is located)?

$ cd ${startdir}/src/libdbusmenu-12.10.2/libdbusmenu-glib
$ vapigen --library=Dbusmenu-0.4 Dbusmenu-0.4.gir

Also, can you please post the output of

$ pacman -Qi gobject-introspection gobject-introspection-runtime python-gobject python2-gobject

?

mauritiusdadd · 2015-10-06 21:38:11

And do you have also the file GObject-2.0.gir?

$ ls -l /usr/share/gir-1.0/GObject-2.0.gir
$ file /usr/share/gir-1.0/GObject-2.0.gir

And if it is there, what happens if you run vapigen using the --girdir option?

vapigen --library=Dbusmenu-0.4 Dbusmenu-0.4.gir --girdir=/usr/share/gir-1.0/

epsilom · 2015-10-06 22:02:38

yes, compiled succeeded with warnings:

then, how I set the girdir variable? in my system or in the pkgbuild?, using export girdir=/usr/share/gir-1.0/ not work, maybe in a library configuration?

That's weird: vala and vapigen should look in /usr/share/gir-1.0 by default because it is hardcoded during the compilation using pkg-config. Moreover, I wasn't able to reproduce the issue even messing up most of the system files and environment variables... sigh. However vapigen should use the environment variables GIRDIR and maybe VAPIGEN_GIRDIRS (note that they are uppercase), try to set one of them or both and see what happens.

I really don't understand where is the problem. You said that pacman reports that no package has been altered, but can you please show us the full output of pacman -Qkk? Also, do you have anything in the /usr/local/{bin,lib,share} directories? Please, post also the output of the following commands:

pkg-config --variable=girdir gobject-introspection-1.0
pkg-config --variable=datadir gobject-introspection-1.0
pkg-config --variable=datadir vapigen
pkg-config --variable=datadir vapigen-0.28
ls /usr/local/{bin,lib,share}

--edit: typo

I have tried using the environment variables GIRDIR and VAPIGEN_GIRDIRS (combinations) and not work.

$ pkg-config --variable=girdir gobject-introspection-1.0
/usr/share/gir-1.0
$ pkg-config --variable=datadir gobject-introspection-1.0
/usr/share
$ pkg-config --variable=datadir vapigen
/usr/share
$ pkg-config --variable=datadir vapigen-0.28
/usr/share
$ ls /usr/local/{bin,lib,share}
/usr/local/bin:

/usr/local/lib:

/usr/local/share:
applications  desktop-directories  icons  man  mime

I have checked the content of the directories inside /usr/local/share and only used for one app (crossover).

the complete content of pacman -Qkk http://pastebin.com/eLihG6Xf

Thanks for your interest of help me.

mauritiusdadd · 2015-10-08 07:21:48

You're welcome

Well, there are a few files which have been altered, but most of them are backup/configuration files and none of them seems to be relevant for this issue. If you want to investigate further this issue, in order to exclude a possible problem with the user's settings, you could try to create a new user and see if vapigen works fine. There is also a new version of vala in [testing] now, so you could also enable the testing repositories and see if the new version fixes this issue.

However, since the environment variables do not work, a quick and dirty workaround is to extract the sources using

makepkg -C --nobuild

then edit the file src/libdbusmenu-12.10.2/libdbusmenu-glib/Makefile by replacing the following line

  $(VALA_API_GEN) --library=Dbusmenu-0.4 $<

with

  $(VALA_API_GEN) --library=Dbusmenu-0.4 --girdir=/usr/share/gir-1.0  $<

and finally resume the building process using the command

$ makepkg --noextract --noprepare

epsilom · 2015-10-08 17:42:26

I have tried using new and empty user and nothing, the same problem.

if someone have the same problem and following your instructions,
I created a patch: https://copy.com/CRpeOETRx6BKZHUv
and fixed PKGBUILD: https://copy.com/pMOzdsVZSxEkFlFK

Thanks for all your help

Stunts · 2015-11-12 22:55:28

@epsilom:
Just wanted to say thanks. I had the same issue and your patch solved it for me.
And also, of course thanks to @mauritiusdadd !
I owe you both a beer if we ever meet. =-)
