Re: [gnome-love] Need help to build Gnote

[Chamila Adhikarinayake <cka adhi gmail com>]

Hi again,

Thanks for the previous suggestion.  After installing the libraries it worked. But now i got another error. (I'm trying to build gnote)

autoreconf --install

:
./configure
:
:
config.status: creating src/dbus/Makefile
config.status: error: cannot find input file: `po/Makefile.in.in'

Am i doing something wrong? (I'm new to autotools)

Chamila,

if you're just trying to build Gnote, it's probably easiest to just build directly from source rather than using jhbuild (though that is also possible).

For the build to work, you'll need to install various libraries which Gnote needs.  (The Boost unit test library which was not found above is one of these.)  On Ubuntu, the easiest way to install these libraries is like this:

$ sudo apt-get build-dep gnote

If you do that, I think your build should work.  If you're still having trouble, just let us know.  cheers -
