Beagle: Things I have learned trying to make the dog hunt

["Joseph E. Sacco, Ph.D." <joseph_sacco comcast net>]

Beagle has a number of requirements that need to be satisfied in order
to get it to build.  The beagle WIKI is a useful source of information:

http://www.beaglewiki.org/

* dbus-sharp
Beagle requires a version of dbus with mono support enabled. If beagle
is to be built, dbus must be rebuilt

        CONFIGURE_ARGS = $(DIRPATHS) --enable-glib --with-xml=libxml \
        --enable-mono
        
* gmime
Beagle requires gmime, which does not exist in the garnone tree. I set
up a directory under platform, created a Makefile,

        GARNAME = gmime
        GARVERSION = 2.1.12
        CATEGORIES = platform
        DISTFILES = $(GARNAME)-$(GARVERSION).tar.gz
                                                                                                        
        MASTER_SITES = http://spruce.sourceforge.net/gmime/sources/v2.1/
                                                                                                    
        LIBDEPS= mono/mono mono/gtk-sharp
                                                                                                        
        DESCRIPTION = gmime
        define BLURB
        #FIXME: blurb goes here
        endef
                                                                                                        
        CONFIGURE_SCRIPTS = $(WORKSRC)/configure
        BUILD_SCRIPTS = $(WORKSRC)/Makefile
        INSTALL_SCRIPTS = $(WORKSRC)/Makefile
                                                                                                        
        CONFIGURE_ARGS = $(DIRPATHS)
                                                                                                        
        include ../category.mk

generated a checksum, and rolled on.

* epiphany
The configure file in beagle-0.5 hunts around for epiphany-1.2. It
unfortunately finds the gnome-2.6 version YDL-4 installed under /usr. 

Maybe it will work with epiphany 1.5.6. We'll see....I modified the
configure file to hunt for version 1.5 and got a surprise.

Garnome-2.9.91 builds and installs epiphany-1.5.6 with a slight twist

- the tar ball is version 1.5.6
- binary is installed under /opt/garnome/bin
- include files are installed under /opt/garnome/include/epiphany-1.5
- package config file is installed as

/opt/garnome/lib/pkgconfigepiphany-1.6.pc

Why is that???

* wsdl
wsdl ocasionally generates a SIGKILL

        cd beagle/Util
        
        wsdl -namespace:Beagle.Util -out:GoogleSearch.cs
        GoogleSearch.wsdl
        Mono Web Services Description Language Utility
        Error: SIGILL

If the command is rerun N times, the error is produced P times,

	where P << N.
