[gnome-db] libgda-error with make and glib-genmarshal

[<maxxmail gmx at>]

I found a bug in $LIBGDA_INSTALL_HOME/libgda/Makefile, at
least I think it is one. In the one generated by configure on my
machine (you´ll find the output of configure at the end of the mail)
the following lines were added to it.

...
gda-marshal.h: gda-marshal.list $(GLIB_GENMARSHAL)
       $(GLIB_GENMARSHAL) $< --header --prefix=gda_marshal > $@
gda-marshal.c: gda-marshal.list $(GLIB_GENMARSHAL)
       $(GLIB_GENMARSHAL) $< --body --prefix=gda_marshal > $@
...

The definition list for glib-genmarshal is missing in the call to it. This
causes the make to hang forever, because it waits for a definition
input from the keyboard. I appended the list to the params like this:

...
gda-marshal.h: gda-marshal.list $(GLIB_GENMARSHAL)
       $(GLIB_GENMARSHAL) $< --header --prefix=gda_marshal gda-marshal.list 
> $@
gda-marshal.c: gda-marshal.list $(GLIB_GENMARSHAL)
       $(GLIB_GENMARSHAL) $< --body --prefix=gda_marshal gda-marshal.list > 
$@
...

Now the build successfully works. If you need further information
just contact me.

Best regards,
Markus Wind
