Bug 18724 – Glade doesn't compile in gnome db support

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Cletus Lichte 2003-04-03 22:45:10 UTC]

I emerged both libgda and libgnomedb but when emerging glade I noticed that
during the configure process that it says that gnome db is not included.  After
running glade, I see that gnome db isn't there.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.



Expected Results:  
Gnome DB support in glade.

I'm using ~x86 and the newest gnomedb and glade ebuilds.

[Comment 2 foser (RETIRED) 2003-04-12 14:16:11 UTC]

the newest glade2 ebuild at that time was way older then the latest (needed) gnomedb ebuilds. Anyway, i dunno about all this, forcing gnomedb seems a bit too much for the casual user. What would be an appropriate useflag ?

[Comment 3 Cletus Lichte 2003-04-13 05:59:06 UTC]

Would a casual user use glade?  I can see not including it because glade and gnomedb aren't always in sync and I'd suggest gnomedb as a use flag, but I'm not married to that idea ;).  Whatever you guys come up with would be fine.

well i consider myself a casual glade user and i never needed gnomedb stuff (i have honestly no idea what it does).

There seems to be no suitable useflag, so maybe a local useflag would be appropriate here.

Ah, I was thinking you meant casual users, not developers ;-)  Again, I have no probs with gnomedb not being in glade by default.  I'm just tired of rewriting the ebuilds to include it.  I'd be very happy to set a use variable in my make.conf by hand in order to get gnomedb support in glade.  Thanks for all your work!

i've added optional gnomedb support to glade-2.0.0-r1 along with some other cleanups. it is not enabled by default. this is a local useflag.
