compiling the new cvs version...

[Joaquin Cuenca Abela <cuenca celium net>]

I'm trying to compile the new (=today) cvs version of gnome-db (in order
to commit a new gnome-db-dsn-config) and I'm going in troubles mainly
due to libgda...

I've installed gconf-0.11 (could anybody include GConf & GConf-devel
rpms in the gnome-db page?), and I'm trying to compile libgda.

The first problem is a weird "**Error**: Directory "`.'" does not look
like the top-level GDA directory".
A quick look at autogen.sh reveals that the problem comes from:

  && test -f $srcdir/idl/gda.idl) || {

because in the idl directory we have a GDA.idl file, and not a gda.idl
one.

So I've changed this line to

  && test -f $srcdir/idl/GDA.idl) || {

and autogen seems happy.

Next step, the make stage.  I obtain a bunch of:

** WARNING **: ../../idl/GDA.idl compilation failed
/usr/bin/orbit-idl -I/idl -I`oaf-config --prefix`/share/idl
../../idl/GDA.idl
../../idl/GDA.idl:22: Warning: `LOCK_READONLY' underscores within
identifiers are discouraged for use with C-language IDL mappings
../../idl/GDA.idl:199: Error: `GNOME' undeclared identifier

from ORBit.  The culpit is line 199, which reads like:

	interface ConnectionFactory : GNOME::ObjectFactory {

nothing bad here, after a quick check at current bonobo and oaf, it
seems that I only need a new bonobo & bonobo-devel packages, isn't it?
(right now I have bonobo 0.23, from the latest evolution package).

Please, what version of bonobo I need in order to succesfully compile
gnome-db?  Could anybody post the unstable packages of which gnome-db
depends in the gnome-db web page?

Thanks!
