[GnomeMeeting-list] Which gnome packages are needed for Mac OS X compilation?

[Alan Sill <Alan Sill ttu edu>]

Hi,

I am working in Mac OS X (10.2.3, which has the following version of 
gcc installed):

% gcc -v
Reading specs from /usr/libexec/gcc/darwin/ppc/3.1/specs
Thread model: posix
Apple Computer, Inc. GCC version 1175, based on gcc version 3.1 
20020420 (prerelease)

I've been able to compile pwlib and openh323 directly from the sources. 
 The mailing list seemed to indicate some time ago that a special 
compilation of pwlib with something called ESD was required, but I 
haven't tried that yet, as the above compilations from source seemed to 
go OK.

Next, on to GnomeMeeting itself.  I found that it was complaining about 
a lack of pkg-config upon initial configuration, so I downloaded and 
compiled pkg-config from the source after applying the fololowing fix 
suggested byt eh package maintainer:

... which worked.  Unfortunately, there were still complaints that 
seemed to be related to missing items.

Hmm, time for a more thorough approach.  I downloaded the latest 
version of fink in source code form (the binary would not work with my 
5.8.0 version of perl), and recompiled it from source, which worked.  
Next, loaded up FinkCommander (binary worked this time), and voila!  I 
have a list of many many gnome packages that I could download and 
install through fink if needed, e.g:

status	name	installed	binary	stable	unstable	category	summary	
 	gnome-applets	 	 	1.4.0.5-3	 	gnome	Various applets for GNOME panel
current	gnome-audio	1.4.0-3	 	1.4.0-3	 	sound	Audio files for Gnome
 	gnome-core	 	 	1.4.1-1	 	gnome	Common files for Gnome core apps
 	gnome-core-dev	 	 	1.4.1-1	 	gnome	Common files for Gnome core apps
 	gnome-core-shlibs	 	 	1.4.1-1	 	gnome	Common files for Gnome core apps
 	gnome-games	 	 	1.4.0.4-2	 	gnome	GNOME games collection
 	gnome-games-dev	 	 	1.4.0.4-2	 	gnome	GNOME games collection
 	gnome-games-shlibs	 	 	1.4.0.4-2	 	gnome GNOME games collection
 	gnome-libs	 	 	1.4.2-1	 	gnome	Base libraries for GNOME
 	gnome-libs-dev	 	 	1.4.2-1	 	gnome	Base libraries for GNOME
 	gnome-libs-shlibs	 	 	1.4.2-1	 	gnome	Base libraries for GNOME
 	gnome-mime-data	 	 	2.0.1-2	 	gnome	The GNOME MIME database
 	gnome-print	 	 	0.36-2	 	gnome	Gnome Print - Printing libraries for 
GNOME
 	gnome-print-dev	 	 	0.36-2	 	gnome	Gnome Print - Printing libraries 
for GNOME
 	gnome-print-shlibs	 	 	0.36-2	 	gnome	Gnome Print - Printing 
libraries for GNOME
 	gnome-python	 	 	1.4.2-1	 	gnome	Python bindings for GNOME
 	gnome-user-docs	 	 	1.4.1.1-2	 	gnome	General GNOME User Documentation
 	gnome-utils	 	 	1.4.1.2-3	 	gnome	GNOME utility programs
 	gnome-vfs	 	 	1.0.5-5	 	gnome	The GNOME virtual file-system libraries
 	gnome-vfs-dev	 	 	1.0.5-5	 	gnome	The GNOME virtual file-system 
libraries
 	gnome-vfs-shlibs	 	 	1.0.5-5	 	gnome	The GNOME virtual file-system 
libraries
 	gnome-vfs-ssl	 	 	1.0.5-5	 	crypto	The GNOME virtual file-system 
libraries, with SSL support
 	gnome-vfs-ssl-dev	 	 	1.0.5-5	 	crypto	The GNOME virtual file-system 
libraries, with SSL support
 	gnome-vfs-ssl-shlibs	 	 	1.0.5-5	 	crypto	The GNOME virtual 
file-system libraries, with SSL support
 	gnomemm	 	 	1.2.2-6	 	gnome	C++ interface for the GNOME libraries
 	gnomemm-shlibs	 	 	1.2.2-6	 	gnome	C++ interface for the GNOME 
libraries

So the question is: which of the above (if any) do I need to attempt a 
full compilation of GnomeMeeting?  Everything?  Only the core 
libraries?  (If so, the gnome-core or gnome-core-dev versions?), etc?

Help would be appreciated...

Thanks,
Alan
