Hi:
I've seen some pretty tasty screen shots of the GNOME desktop.
I would like to try this out, but this GNOME port is a tough one
to install. My hope is that somebody will have a few suggestions
to get this working.
I cvsup(ped) the ports distribution with the ports-supfile on
1/4/99, and this seemed to go OK.
Since I spent the better part of a day playing around with this
I thought that my discoveries might be of some assistance to the
GNOME ports maintainers.
Some of the problems I encountered are:
The gnomelibs claim the need for tiff-3.4, and the gnomelibs
Makefile does contain a line for this dependency.
(along with other "LIB_DEPENDS" entries which work OK)
"tiff4:${PORTSDIR}/graphics/tiff34"
but "ldconfig -r | grep tiff" returns:
"107:-ltiff34.1.0 => /usr/local/lib/libtiff34.so.1.0"
so the search for tiff fails when the configure script runs.
I fixed this with the following hack on the tiff entry:
"tiff34:${PORTSDIR}/graphics/tiff34"
Another problem was with the "glib11-devel" distribution.
This guy somehow installed itself as: "libglib11d.so..2.0"
which seemed to cause ldconfig to ignore the library. I just
renamed these guys (to remove the double dots) and their
associated soft links and then things were OK.
"ldconfig -r | grep glib"
"33:-lglib11d.2.0 => /usr/local/lib/libglib11d.so.2.0"
My efforts finally crashed and burned with "ORBit" which never
installed successfully. There is a compile problem in the
ORBit naming service area:
(making in ORBit/work/ORBit-0.3.91/src/services/name)
...
../../../src/idl-compiler/orbit-idl CosNaming.idl
usage: indent file [ outfile ] [ options ]
usage: indent file [ outfile ] [ options ]
Message: Type IDLN_TYPE_SEQUENCE needs no name
Message: Type IDLN_TYPE_SEQUENCE needs no name
*** Signal 13
It appears that the idl-compiler tries to create:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root 500 0 Jan 5 09:11 CosNaming-common.c
-rw-r--r-- 1 root 500 0 Jan 5 09:11 CosNaming.h
Which aborted early. Hmmm....SIGPIPE?
