Bug 47584 – gthumb 2.2.0 won't compile due to orbit/bonobo error

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description Tony Butler 2004-04-12 00:30:52 UTC]

Very similar to Bug 46929 pertaining to same error condition on build of nautilus 2.4.2

Utilized Bug 46929 comment #18 workaround modified for gthumb paths and options (see below), and the compile/merge was completely successful.

It seems the "/usr/bin/orbit-idl-2" command executed in the work tree at "/var/tmp/portage/gthumb-2.2.0/work/gthumb-2.2.0/components/image-viewer" needs to have the includes added ("-I /usr/share/idl/bonobo-activation-2.0 -I /usr/share/idl/bonobo-2.0") which is what the semi-manual steps in the referenced workaround accomplish somehow.

The adapted workaround:

cd /var/tmp/portage/gthumb-2.2.0/work/gthumb-2.2.0
./configure --prefix=/usr --host=i686-pc-linux-gnu --mandir=/usr/share/man\
 --infodir=/usr/share/info --datadir=/usr/share --sysconfdir=/etc\
 --localstatedir=/var/lib
make
touch ../../.compiled
cd /usr/portage/media-gfx/gthumb-2.2.0
ebuild gthumb-2.2.0.ebuild merge

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install fresh stage3-i686 LiveCD 2004.0 w/i686-GRP set
2. 'emerge sync' (as of 04/11/2004)
3. 'emerge gthumb' (should install 2.2.0)

Actual Results:  
Step 3 fails with error keywords:
 "Bonobo.idl: No such file or directory" and
 "Error: `Bonobo' undeclared identifier" in the file
 "nautilus-view-component.idl"

Expected Results:  
It should have the includes added so it can resolve the reference to
"Bonobo.idl" in "/usr/share/idl/bonobo-2.0" - then the compile and merge
complete correctly.

No additional info provided, as the workaround AND seminal solution are already
outlined above - someone with the skills just needs to figure out where to add
the proper includes to the "/usr/bin/orbit-idl-2" command in the build to form
the resolution steps for both this issue and the related Bug 46929.
