[Nix-dev] Re: GConf update problem

[Sander van der Burg - EWI]

The best solution is probably to patch the autoconf files. I still remember when I tried to package GNOME, some libraries were not added to the rpath of executables and may still not run. This probably does not occur if the makefiles correctly include all dependencies.

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 ];
}
