Re: Unable to build Gnome apps with Ximian Gnome and Debian2.2r3

["James Hamilton" <JAMESH davistl com>]

I understand how to build apps on Debian, and how to install dev 
packages so you have the headers etc. I am talking about the 
Ximian apps in particular, and specific ./configure messages:
--snip--
checking for gnome-config... no
checking for gnomeConf.sh file in /usr/local/lib... not found
configure:  error:  Could not find the gnomeConf.sh file that is 
generated by gnome-libs install
--snip--
I tried to explain earlier:

I get this when I am trying to compile pan 10.0 for example, and 
many other apps as well.

Which dev packages do I need to download to fix this?  
After some exploration,  I think I need 
gnome-libs-dev-1.2.13-ximian.deb or something.

If you refer to the list below, which is all the current Ximian 
packages, you will note there is no dev package for gnome-libs.  

I have found an RPM containing that file in the dev package for 
gnome-libs, and I just want to know why there isn't a Debian 
package, or, if there is, where...  If there isn't, can I get a .tar.gz?

gnome-libs-devel-1.2.13-ximian.14.i386.rpm

These are all the current Debian packages for Ximian that I 
have access to:

The particular packages you need depend on the requirements of the 
programs you are compiling. For example, if you're compiling a plugin for 
xmms, you will need the package called xmms-dev. There are lots of *-dev 
packages.

You will need to examine the errors produced by ./configure to figure out 
which packages you need. There is no catch-all dev package. Even better, 
look at the documentation for the program to find out what it needs.

Search for "dev" in dselect and you'll find *tons* of packages.
