Re: [Banshee-List] Installing 2.9.1: Syntax error: "(" unexpected in autogen.sh

[Sharky <simondedman gmail com>]

Thanks again for the fork. More issues, however.

Download zip of fork doesn't contain Hyena files. Download separate zip of
those, unpack in correct location.
./autogen.sh in banshee folder:
No package 'gstreamer-sharp-1.0' found

Read various helpfiles:
https://askubuntu.com/questions/510437/how-to-build-the-latest-version-of-banshee-on-ubuntu
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/27320979/how-do-i-acquire-the-dependency-gstreamer-sharp-1-0
installed gudev-sharp from git zip without problems.
got gsteamer-sharp from github. Did ./autogen.sh:

Makefile.am: error: required file './README' not found
Makefile.am:3: error: required directory ./sources/glue does not exist

References in gitgub comments "DON'T USE GLUE" aren't especially helpful
since there seem to be no advertised alternatives. Tried ./configure
instead:

"Requested 'glib-sharp-3.0 >= 3.22.6' but version of GLib is 2.99.3
Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you installed
software in a non-standard prefix. Alternatively, you may set the
environment variables GLIB_SHARP_CFLAGS
and GLIB_SHARP_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config."

libgtk-3-dev is already installed, among others.
Got gtk-sharp zip from github: ./configure, sudo make, sudo make install
look to have worked, though:
"Libraries have been installed in: /usr/local/lib"

/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/ has:
gapi-3.0.pc       gio-sharp-3.0.pc   gtk-dotnet-3.0.pc
gdk-sharp-3.0.pc  glib-sharp-3.0.pc  gtk-sharp-3.0.pc

Retried ./configure in gstreamer-sharp, no change. 

So, probably: glib-sharp-3.0 >= 3.22.6 not found = no gstreamer-sharp-1.0 =
no banshee 2.9.1
Am I going about this the right way and it really is this insanely
complicated, or is there a much simpler route?

Cheers!
