• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED OBSOLETE

[Description michael higgins 2011-02-23 18:50:11 UTC]

Failed to emerge x11-terms/gnome-terminal-2.33.90.... I am at gnome-2.91.6 +... with -9999 stuff for gnome-shell. 

Reproducible: Always

Actual Results:  
  GEN    encodings-dialog.ui
Usage: gtk-builder-convert [OPTION] [INPUT] [OUTPUT]
Converts Glade files into XML files which can be loaded with GtkBuilder.
The [INPUT] file is

  -w, --skip-windows     Convert everything but GtkWindow subclasses.
  -r, --root             Convert only widget named root and its children
  -h, --help             display this help and exit

When OUTPUT is -, write to standard output.

Examples:
  gtk-builder-convert preference.glade preferences.ui

This is because gtk-builder-convert was dropped from GTK+3
I guess the gnome-terminal code should be patched to not use
gtk-builder-convert in build time

Please paste your emerge --info as a comment and attach the build log to this bug.

gnome-terminal hasn't been entirely ported to GNOME 3 yet (as can be seen from the version number). I'll add gtk+:2 to the DEPEND for gnome-terminal.

I've temporarily fixed the problem with gnome-terminal, and I'm converting this bug into a tracker for gtk+3 packages which still use gtk-builder-convert. They should directly use GtkBuilder .ui files instead of converting .glade files.

this is upstream work, we should maybe use alternatives in the mean time :)

This has nothing to do with alternatives, since it's not us who drop it, but upstream itself has dropped it. 

Also, there is no reason why applications should continue using .glade files, since GtkBuilder support in Glade (the application) has been working fine for a long time.

I can see that you added the gtk+:2 to the ebuild, but I still can't emerge it. Any advice? (Still borks on Conver Glade file into XML...)

Please check your setup, and if the problem persists, open a separate bug about that with a complete build.log and emerge --info.

This tracker has no bug blocking it, is this one still needed?

Probably not; gnome-terminal seems to be the only package in gnome-3.2 that still needs gtk-builder-convert.
