Bug 96689 – net-irc/xchat-gnome: The package fails to compile

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Anthony Gorecki 2005-06-21 04:51:38 UTC]

This package won't compile without a working GNOME installation as it's configured with: --disable-gtkfe --enable-gnomefe

This behavior should be replaced with gtk and gnome USE flags for each option, respectively. In addition, in the package's current state, it also doesn't depend on the packages that it needs to be able to compile.

The current result of merging the package:
urlscraper.c:6:32: libgnome/gnome-url.h: No such file or directory
urlscraper.c:7:32: gconf/gconf-client.h: No such file or directory
urlscraper.c: In function `url_open':

1. I intentionally disabled them, because I don't want bugs about the gtk and text
frontends to be filed against xchat-gnome. If you want the gtk or text frontend,
please use net-irc/xchat instead.

2. I added gnome-base/libgnome and gnome-base/gconf to the dependencies.

Thanks!

[Comment 2 Anthony Gorecki 2005-06-21 10:48:07 UTC]

Those added dependencies don't fix the problem. After an 'emerge sync' and
another emerge attempt, the problem still persists.

This is a portion of the output from the post-configuration status report:
Building GTK+ Interface .... : no
Building TEXT Interface .... : no
Building GNOME Interface .... : no

The following is one of the configure messages: 
checking Gnome2 compile flags... Gnome not found, building without it.

[Comment 3 Anthony Gorecki 2005-06-21 11:12:58 UTC]

Perhaps I've been mislead by the downloading of an entirely new source tarball
for this package. Is the only difference between this and the xchat package the
addition of the GNOME frontend? I've been trying to determine that by looking at
the program, however without a means to install it I have know way of knowing.
Please clarify.

[Comment 4 Sven Wegener 2005-06-21 11:19:06 UTC]

The xchat-gnome codebase is based on the regular xchat package and the only
addition is a gnome'ified frontend. I don't want to merge it with the regular
xchat package because it is in an early development stage. Same reason applies
for not enabling the gtk and text frontends for xchat-gnome.

If you want the regular xchat, please use net-irc/xchat. xchat-gnome is for
users who want to take a look at xchat-gnome or even use it. It's not going to
be marked stable in the near future.

I'll see if I can find some more missing dependencies.

[Comment 5 Anthony Gorecki 2005-06-21 12:10:43 UTC]

Now the configuration makes sense. Please disregard my disable-gtkfe comment.

The missing dependency appears to be libgnomeui. configure's call to pkg-config
for the UI libraries fails because that package isn't present. xchat-gnome
compiles with libgnomeui installed.

[Comment 6 Sven Wegener 2005-06-21 17:09:58 UTC]

Yep, I already added those just after my previous post. Thanks! If you come across
other missing dependencies, feel free to reopen.
