Good Afternoon, I am on a machine that has no access to the internet. I
pulled down the source on a web connected machine using ‘make –deep-checksum’.
Ran in to this same issue with just pulling down the source into a “GARCHIVE”
directory. The machine is a little older… Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES release 4 (Nahant Update 6) As standard user I perform a make paranoid-install. Patches that were linked to the home directory of the
machine I was on were removed and then relinked to the new paths (the first one
was key-computations.patch -> /home/username/Desktop/garnome-2.24.0/platform/libxslt/files/key-computations.patch).
Nine others followed, but it’s just a link, so that’s easy enough…then
eventually the build gets to… Making all in polkit make[11]: Entering directory `/my/home/dir/garnome-2.24.0/freedesktop/PolicyKit/work/main.d/PolicyKit-0.9/src/polkit' /bin/sh ../../libtool --tag=CC --mode=compile cc

with no gnome-desktop (and who knows what else)…plus the dependencies
appear to snowball and I can’t build the tools my team is asking for. I started looking into other PolicyKit errors and similar
ones seemed to trace back to the dbus and inotify packages. I built them from
source (to /usr/local…just can’t touch the main libs), and even
with PKG_CONFIG_PATH pointing to my shiny new dbus, PolicyKit and I-notify tools,
it seems to have no bearing on the result. Upon reading further I saw that the issue may actually get
down to HAL, and that I may need to patch the kernel! I don’t know if
this is acceptable…and I am hoping that there is simply some way that I
can gracefully either build around polkit/PolicyKit (same thing?) or cut it out
altogether. I’m really only interested in some of the ‘hacker-tools’
for some coders that I’m working with…and in all honesty building
all of the dependencies by hand has made me a mad man for the last two weeks.
If GARNOME works it will truly be a godsend for us! Regards, Tony Lay |
