Bug 487240 – gnome-base/gnome-control-center-3.8.5: wacom panel is not linked in the binary /usr/bin/gnome-control-center

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Serge Gavrilov 2013-10-07 22:04:02 UTC]

Hi!

After upgrade to gnome 3.8 wacom panel in g-c-c has been disappeared.

$ /usr/bin/gnome-control-center wacom

** (gnome-control-center:28742): WARNING **: Could not find settings panel "wacom"

Binary /usr/bin/gnome-control-center 

$ strings /usr/bin/gnome-control-center | grep -i wacom
Wacom Serial IDs

I have tried to manually recompile g-c-c in the following way:

ebuild /usr/portage/gnome-base/gnome-control-center/gnome-control-center-3.8.5.ebuild unpack 

cd  /var/tmp/portage/gnome-base/gnome-control-center-3.8.5/work/gnome-control-center-3.8.5

./configure 
make

The resulting binary has wacom panel compiled in.

And yes, I definitely have input_devices_wacom enabled. 

The build log is here: http://pastebin.ru/STArYI4l

Reproducible: Always

This is probably because we forget to set BUILD_WACOM properly in configure.ac patch

[Comment 2 Alexandre Rostovtsev (RETIRED) 2013-10-08 14:46:47 UTC]

BUILD_WACOM is set correctly. And panels/wacom/libwacom-properties.la appears to be getting compiled, and then linked into the main gnome-control-center executable. But for some reason it's not being recognized at runtime :/

Try 

strings /usr/bin/gnome-control-center | grep -i wacom 

with correct binary. There are a lot of occurences.

[Comment 4 Alexandre Rostovtsev (RETIRED) 2013-10-08 15:26:04 UTC]

Pacho, you are right, it was BUILD_WACOM - we were setting the BUILD_WACOM automake variable, but not the BUILD_WACOM config.h macro.
