Apparently Banshee 0.11 requires libnotify to display the song change notification bubble. If libnotify is not installed, this error message is displayed on a song change: "Error: [9/25/2006 12:44:03 PM] (Cannot show notification) - libnotify.so.1" If libnotify is emerged, the notification bubble works, and the error does not occur. Libnotify is not a build-depend apparently, as banshee compiled fine without it. I don't belive the configure script checks for it, either. This may be an upstream issue.
i'll report this to upstream. For now i added as a dependency. Thanks
just to clear. <abock> metalgod, pong <metalgod> abock, i don't know if you already know this issue but the config script should check for libnotify <abock> why? <metalgod> abock, because it's a dependency <abock> it doesn't need configuring, it's not a requirement <abock> it is not a dependency <Amaranth> I thought libnotify was a run-time dependency <abock> a dependency is something on which you depend <Amaranth> as in, you compile without it and if it's there you use it <abock> Amaranth: correct <metalgod> yes it compiles without libnotify <abock> no, no <abock> we don't use libnotify <metalgod> it's a runtime dep. <abock> _at all_ <abock> it is not <abock> it's not even a runtime dep <abock> it's pure managed IPC <abock> DBus spec impl <abock> metalgod: in fact, I removed HAL from configure too <metalgod> "Error: [9/25/2006 12:44:03 PM] (Cannot show notification) - libnotify.so.1" <metalgod> that's the error i got <abock> metalgod: yeah with 0.11.0 <metalgod> yes with 0.11 <abock> sorry, it was a runtime-based libnotify binding in 0.11.0 <abock> in HEAD/.1 it is pure dbus <abock> no libnotify <abock> same as HAL now <metalgod> ok when 0.11.1 i'll remove them from our package
