Re: [Banshee-List] Bugs, Features & Forks

Hi Christian,

Sorry to hear about the errors you encountered when compiling, I don't
think you're missing a dependency but it sounds like you'll need to
install a later version of gtk-sharp than is provided by your
distribution to correct that error, for reference I install from git
[1] and this is the metadata from the resulting package config file
(installed at /usr/lib64/pkgconfig) for comparison with what you have:

Name: Gtk#
Description: Gtk# - GNOME .NET Binding
Version: 2.99.4
Cflags: -I:${gapidir}/pango-api.xml -I:${gapidir}/atk-api.xml
-I:${gapidir}/gtk-api.xml
Libs: -r:${libdir}/mono/gtk-sharp-3.0/cairo-sharp.dll
-r:${libdir}/mono/gtk-sharp-3.0/pango-sharp.dll
-r:${libdir}/mono/gtk-sharp-3.0/atk-sharp.dll
-r:${libdir}/mono/gtk-sharp-3.0/gtk-sharp.dll
Requires: glib-sharp-3.0 gio-sharp-3.0 gdk-sharp-3.0

I'm an autotools novice so it'll be good practise to add a macro to
check the version (feel free to beat me to it, I have nothing against
pull requests) though I'm not 100% certain on whether 2.99.4 is needed
or if you could get away with just 2.99.1.

Hope that helps.
Nicholas.
