[Nix-dev] Re: GConf update problem

This is a typical problem which occurs with broken autoconf files. The configure script does not detect glib properly. In order to deal with this issue you can either patch the configure.ac file to let it properly detect glib (check the autotools manual for more info: http://sourceware.org/autobook/), or implement a workaround, for instance by setting the CFLAGS and LIBS environment variables to extend the search directories of the compiler and linker.

I also stumbled upon these problems once and there is no trivial way to fix it.

I care about because I need it to  build Gnome 2.30.


build script of GConf : 


{ stdenv, fetchurl, pkgconfig, dbus_glib, glib, ORBit2, libxml2
, policykit, intltool, dbus_libs }:

stdenv.mkDerivation {
  name = "GConf-2.28.1";
  
  src = fetchurl {
    url = http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/sources/GConf/2.28/GConf-2.28.1.tar.bz2;
    md5 = "27663faf0af4f6a6d534de9270f6d24a";
  };

  buildInputs = [ pkgconfig ORBit2 dbus_libs dbus_glib libxml2 policykit intltool ];
  propagatedBuildInputs = [ glib ];
}
