Re: [gnome-love] jhbuild build error - vala

[Adam Dingle <adam medovina org>]

Ebru,

OK, great.  You certainly don't need to build Vala - you can simply install it like this:

$ sudo apt-get install valac-0.20

In fact, you won't need to use jhbuild to build anything.  I just built gmpc on my system (I'm running Ubuntu 13.10, by the way) to see what you need to do.  It's pretty easy.  You'll need to build only two packages from source: libmpd (which gmpc depends on) and gmpc itself.  Here we go:

1. Get the sources for libmpd:

$ git clone git://repo.or.cz/libmpd.git

2. Build and install it:

$ cd libmpd

$ sudo apt-get build-dep libmpd

$ ./autogen.sh

$ make

$ sudo make install

3. Get the sources for gmpc:

$ cd ..

$ git clone git://repo.or.cz/gmpc.gi

4. Build and install:

$ cd gmpc

$ sudo apt-get build-dep gmpc

$ sudo apt-get install libglyr-dev   (another library I think you will need)

$ ./autogen.sh

$ make

$ sudo make install

I think that will work.  If you run into trouble, let us know again here and we'll try to help.  cheers -

Ebru,

that's great that you'd like to contribute to GNOME!

You might not actually need to build the whole world (including Vala) using jhbuild - it depends on what you want to do.  Which distribution (operating system) are you running, and which version of it?  Which program(s) were you hoping to contribute to?
