Re: Help - trouble compiling gnome-libs

[David Faure <David Faure ifhamy insa-lyon fr>]

Some more input from my first-time install of gnome :

> like stated by INSTALL, to make it find gtk)
In fact, the right statement, for anybody that installed gtk in /usr/local, is

CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/local/include LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/lib ./configure


I also had to patch a file in gnome-core-0.13/desktop-properties that
was missing an include :

--- property-background.c.orig  Mon Apr  6 01:33:00 1998
+++ property-background.c       Mon Apr  6 01:33:14 1998
@@ -13,6 +13,7 @@
 #include <string.h>

 #include <gdk/gdkx.h>
+#include <gdk_imlib.h>

 #include <gnome.h>
 #include "gnome-desktop.h"  

Also had a problem with libz.a : one gets shipped with X11R6-devel,
another with zlib (1.0.4). I had to delete the one from X11R6, as it
doesn't have gzopen, gzread...

Finally, panel relies on mico 2.0.3. Upgrading to 2.0.5 causes
problems, then. Why is mico version hardcoded in Makefile.am ?
Shouldn't 'configure' check for it ?

Sorry if all this questions have already been answered
I think this is what happens to everyone that tries to compile gnome...
Hope this will help future releases.
