Re: [Shotwell] shotwell for PCLinuxOS Mate

[Gerrit Draisma <gdraisma xs4all nl>]

Hallo Jens,

It took some time, but today I started trying to compile shotwell
for my system.

This is where I got and do not know how to proceed:

The configure script complained that
  gexiv2
was too old.
I tried to update from
https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/gexiv2/BuildingAndInstalling

The gexiv2 configure script complained that
  gobject-introspection-1.0
was missing.

I obtained a copy from
http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/gobject-introspection/1.31/
and tried to compile that.

After solving the configure errors installing flex, bison
and the python gobjects libraries, the make program fails
with the following error messages
   GISCAN GLib-2.0.gir
/usr/include/glib-2.0/glib/glib-autocleanups.h:41: syntax error, 
unexpected typedef-name, expecting identifier or '(' in 'typedef 
GAsyncQueue *GAsyncQueue_autoptr;' at 'GAsyncQueue_autoptr'
/usr/include/glib-2.0/glib/glib-autocleanups.h:42: syntax error, 
unexpected typedef-name, expecting identifier or '(' in 'typedef 
GBookmarkFile *GBookmarkFile_autoptr;' at 'GBookmarkFile_autoptr'
...

My glib-autocleanups.h looks identical to this one
https://github.com/GNOME/glib/blob/master/glib/glib-autocleanups.h

Is there a way forward from here?
In any case seeing all the work that has been done to
get shotwell working has deeply impressed me.

Thanks,
Gerrit
