Re: ORBit compilation problems, again

[Kurt Granroth <granroth kde org>]

I had fairly irritating problems compiling all Gnome packages (just curious,
has ANY developer every tried compiling the Gnome packages from scratch
lately?  I didn't think so).  I *did* get ORBit to compile a couple of
days ago, though.

Here's what my notes tell me I had to do:

1) Compile glib and gtk+ and install both
2) Put 'aclocal -I /opt/gnome/share/aclocal -I ../glib' in autogen.sh
3) Put 'aclocal -I /opt/gnome/share/aclocal -I ../../glib' in libIDL/autogen.sh

That did it for me.

When I went to compile libIDL -- not the one in the ORBit module (why are
there two libIDLs, BTW?) -- I had more problems.  My notes look like so:

1) cd libIDL && cp ../imlib/autogen.sh .
2) 'aclocal -I /opt/gnome/share/aclocal -I ../ORBit'

I remember it being more of a pain than that, though, so I probably did
something else that I forgot to write down.

BTW, the errors you have in the libIDL dir seem to indicate that the
acinclude.m4 file is either corrupt or missing.  I'd delete it if it is
there and do a 'cvs update'
