Hi, I am trying to find the correct list or forum to get some help in building; gobject-introspection-1.42.0. Hope this is the right list. (Used to belong to a forum; but that no longer seems to be around. Anyway! I would really appreciate some help in building all the gnome software needed by firefox. ENVIRONMENT: IBM pSeries System (Power 4 & 6 microprocessor) O/S AIX 5.3 and 7.1 Using thing in the AIX Linux Toolkit. More that 95% of the software installed in the /opt/freeware directory comes from Michael Perzl's own Linux Toolkit archive. While his packages are more up to date than IBM's they do not contain the version that I need nor do they contain most of the other GNOME packages needed by firefox. Putting all new firefox required software and firefox, thunderbird and seamonkey into a new directory called /opt/alinux. I think I have successfully built: glib-2.42.1 gdk-pixbuf-2.30.8 atk-2.14.0 (Think this is ok!) Tried to build: Python-3.4.2 (Seemed to compile OK; but test/check had 5 errors so I did not install it. Would have tried; but there did not seem to be a way to remove the installation if it did not work.) Currently using: (installed in /opt/freeware) python-2.6.8-1 PROBLEM: During the gmake of gobject-introspection-1.42.0/2/3 I got the following message before the gmake stopped. CCLD libgirepository-internals.la CC _giscanner_la-giscannermodule.lo CCLD _giscanner.la CCLD g-ir-compiler ld: 0711-224 WARNING: Duplicate symbol: .fsav ld: 0711-224 WARNING: Duplicate symbol: .fres ld: 0711-345 Use the -bloadmap or -bnoquiet option to obtain more information. ld: 0711-224 WARNING: Duplicate symbol: .fsav ld: 0711-224 WARNING: Duplicate symbol: .fres ld: 0711-345 Use the -bloadmap or -bnoquiet option to obtain more information. CCLD g-ir-generate CCLD glib-print GEN g-ir-scanner GEN g-ir-annotation-tool GISCAN GLib-2.0.gir Traceback (most recent call last): File "./g-ir-scanner", line 53, in <module> from giscanner.scannermain import scanner_main File "./giscanner/scannermain.py", line 27, in <module> import subprocess File "/opt/freeware/lib/python2.6/subprocess.py", line 416, in <module> import fcntl ImportError: No module named fcntl Not sure what is going on. In the configure run I know that configure found fcntl and its header files. I checked the libglib-2.0.a and found fcntl as a member of the libglib-2.0.so.0 (that is; there seems to be an entry for fcntl in the symbol table). I checked the gobject-introspection-1.42.0/2/3 build directory and the copy of libglib-2.0.so.0 that is present is identical to the one that is in the /opt/alinux/lib/libglib-2.0.a. I would really appreciate some help! Sincerely, Dwight P.S. I am no longer a software developer.... That ended about 20 years ago. I just downloaded these packages and ran configure and gmake and hoped that everything would work. I know a little C; but no C++ and I do not know phyton or perl or etc...... I can probably figure out simple problems; but anything else is beyond me. (My usual solution is to find another version of the package and try to compile that one and hope it would work.) Would not be doing this at all if IBM and mozilla.org had not stop creating firefox, thunderbird and seamonkey for my system. Since my old version of firefox can no longer access many sites and my ISP email server does not support firefox I have to build a new version. Bull in France used to build gnome for AIX; but stop doing that at least 5 years ago. Now no one that I know of is building gnome for AIX. |
