Re: [Banshee-List] Building an external plugin with 0.98.1

["Aaron Bockover" <abockover novell com>]

The emptying out of the --libs for the .pc file was intentional. The .pc file will be split into separate (heyna, non-gui, gui) .pc files, and maybe keep a "master" banshee-1.pc file that references the split .pc files.

I was happier with emptying out the .pc file for now than with leaving the old assembly information that does not apply at all to the new layout.

It should be fixed for 0.98.2. Please file a bug so it can be tracked, otherwise I may forget in time for 0.98.2, though that's the release I'm aiming for.

If anybody's interested, the alarm plugin is now working with banshee
trunk. The code is in SVN on code.google.com, see link above.

Because of the issue mentionned above, the libraries are not detected at
configure time. To work around this, you have to set the BANSHEE_LIBS
environment variable like this (all on one line) :

export BANSHEE_LIBS="-r:/usr/lib/banshee-1/Banshee.Core.dll
-r:/usr/lib/banshee-1/Hyena.dll
-r:/usr/lib/banshee-1/Banshee.Services.dll
-r:/usr/lib/banshee-1/Banshee.ThickClient.dll -r:Mono.Posix
-r:/usr/lib/mono/gtk-sharp-2.0/gtk-sharp.dll
-r:/usr/lib/mono/gtk-sharp-2.0/gconf-sharp.dll
-r:/usr/lib/mono/gtk-sharp-2.0/glib-sharp.dll"

I'll probably do a proper release when the build and install issues are
sorted out.

Have fun,
