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

David,

what distribution are you running, and which version of it?  If we know that we might be able to provide more specific advice.

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
