configure: error: Package requirements (glib-2.0 >= 2.34.1) were not met:

Requested 'glib-2.0 >= 2.34.1' but version of GLib is 2.32.4

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables GLIB_CFLAGS
and GLIB_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

There is no such thing as gobject-introspection-1.34.2-r2 in the main portage tree. In addition, unlike the gobject-introspection ebuilds in the main tree, your gobject-introspection-1.34.2-r2 is using multilib-minimal eclass.

Please state which overlay the gobject-introspection-1.34.2-r2.ebuild came from (you are using 20 different overlays!) so that the bug can be assigned to the right developer.

[Comment 2 Alexandre Rostovtsev (RETIRED) 2013-06-20 13:54:27 UTC]

Also, if you are cross-compiling, or have sys-devel/crossdev installed on your system, please state that too.

Please DO NOT CC maintainers when you cannot assign bugs.

> Please DO NOT CC maintainers when you cannot assign bugs.

Jeroen, I *can* assign bugs. I am a developer and a member of gnome@g.o. And I have the right to CC gnome@g.o whenever I believe it is appropriate.

The in-tree gobject-introspection ebuilds are maintained by gnome@g.o. However, the 1.34.2-r2 ebuild comes from an overlay, and moreover differs from our in-tree version (since it uses multilib-minimal eclass).

The logical solution is to
(1) assigned to the overlay maintainer (or bug-wranglers in this case, since it's not clear who the overlay maintainer is); and
(2) cc the in-tree maintainers, gnome@g.o (since the ebuild is based on our work, and it's very likely that fixing the bug will involve some coordination with us).

According to my Magic Ball, this is for anyc from the Steam overlay; gl hf. :)

[Comment 6 Mario Kicherer 2013-07-01 20:37:22 UTC]

We already track this issue on our github page: https://github.com/anyc/steam-overlay/issues/59

I just saw that I accidentally committed this ebuild version although it didn't work for me either. I'll remove it from the overlay and we work on a new one in the issue report. I'd suggest we close this bug here. Sorry for the inconvenience!

[Comment 7 Gilles Dartiguelongue (RETIRED) 2013-07-02 09:00:30 UTC]

ok, closing as upstream.
