Re: [gitg] libgit2-glib-1.0 version issues while building

[Ignacio Casal Quinteiro <nacho resa gmail com>]

David,

try installing the devel packages for those, or use jhbuild as well to build them.

Also use jhbuild to build gitg.

Cheers.

Hi Ignacio,

thank you for your answer. I am trying and trying, but I still don't
make it right.

I installed jhbuild, followed all instructions and finally was able to
install libgit2-glib by using jhbuild.

But still I cannot build gitg. At first I got the same error as before.
So I tried adjustign PKG_CONFIG_PATH as recommended. I did this by typing
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/home/nore/jhbuild/install/lib/pkgconfig/
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH

Now I get the error, that packages libpeas-1.0, libpeas-gtk-1.0 and
gtkspell3-3.0 are not found.

I tried to add /usr/lib/pkgconfig/ to  PKG_CONFIG_PATH by typing
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$PKG_CONFIG_PATH:/usr/lib/pkgconfig/
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH

but I still get the same error.

Do you have any suggestions or could you explain a little more detailed
how I can get this to work?

Thanks a lot.

David
