[Nix-dev] Re: GConf update problem

[Marc Weber]

You've been correct:

This makes it find the header files. Same when using NIX_CFLAGS_COMPILE

    export CPPFLAGS="$CPPFLAGS $(pkg-config --cflags glib-2.0 dbus-glib-1 polkit-grant)"

However this change still breaks it. The used policykit 0.9 is the
latest stable on the homepage. So you either have to build without
policykit or get a dev version?

PolKits history shows tags beyond 0.9
0.91 probably has the change and the history talks about api rewrites
and cleanups. So this means use git version which also means that you
need gtk-doc which means you have do add more buildinputs ..
short story: It still doesn't work but you're closer. Pushed by changes
to the gnome3 branch. Now you only have to update glib (hopefully ?)

If someone wants to join the update send me your ssh key.
gnome3 branch can be found here: http://mawercer.de:7000/?p=nixpkgs;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/gnome3
