Re: jhbuild failing - why?

["Rich Caloggero" <rjc MIT EDU>]

Thanx Jacob. This worked beautifully. One small weirdness though: the
complaints from autoconf suggested using ACLOCAL_PATH. If I set it to a
single element, then autoconf automatically sets ACLOCAL_FLAGS to reflect
this, but if I use a colon-separated list of dirs in ACLOCAL_PATH,
ACLOCAL_FLAGS doesn't seem to reflect this, so had to actually set
ACLOCAL_FLAGS as Jacob suggests below. The other thing is that I needed to
include /usr/share/aclocal in the list of include dirs. My prefix is
/opt/gnome2, so the ACLOCAL_FLAGS becomes '-I /opt/gnome2/share/aclocal -I
/usr/share/aclocal'. This seems to be working better now. Let's see how far
I get...

Thanx again Jacob!

Hi
This happens when your build tools can't find some gnome-2.3 macros.
Here's what you have to do:
export ACLOCAL_FLAGS="-I PREFIX/share/aclocal"
Put that in your .bash_profile or /etc/profile. Prefix is the prefix you
specified in .jhbuildrc, for example if your prefix is /opt/gnome-2.3, it
would look like this:
export ACLOCAL_FLAGS="-I /opt/gnome-2.3/share/aclocal"
Remember to mind the upper/lower case. Here's a few other things you
should do, (prefix is your jhbuildrc prefix):
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=prefix/lib
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="prefix/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/lib/pkgconfig"
These will prevent similar not found errors, from the linker and from
pkg-config, respectively.
