[GnomeMeeting-list] Missing gconf-2.0 under Mac OS X

[Alan Sill <Alan Sill ttu edu>]

HI,

OK, so the advice was to try disabling the gnome part with
./configure --disable-gnome

and the list of packages recommended was:

> Hello Alan,

> The list that you gave only lists GNOME 1 related packages and
> GnomeMeeting requires GNOME 2.

> However, you can compile GnomeMeeting with a minimal list of
> dependancies if you use --disable-gnome . It will remove some features,
> you will have to tweak settings manually, but I think it is a good

> Here is the list you need in that case :
> GTK+ (GTK, Glib, Pango, ATK)  x
> audiofile       x
> esound          x
> libxml2         x
> GConf           x
> ORBit2          x
> linc            x
> libIDL          x

Of these, most could be fetched by fink except for linc (not listed) 
and libIDL (also not listed).  I insalled the remaining ones, but 
./configure --disable-gnome still failed after going further than it 
had before, with the message:


./configure: gconftool-2: command not found
Using config source  for schema installation
Using $(sysconfdir)/gconf/schemas/ as install directory for schema files
checking for pkg-config... /sw/bin/pkg-config
checking for gtk+-2.0 >= 2.0.6 esound >= 0.2.28 gconf-2.0 >= 1.2.1 
libxml-2.0 >= 2.4.23... Package gconf-2.0 was not found in the 
pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `gconf-2.0.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'gconf-2.0' found

configure: error: Library requirements (gtk+-2.0 >= 2.0.6 esound >= 
0.2.28 gconf-2.0 >= 1.2.1 libxml-2.0 >= 2.4.23) not met; consider 
adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if your libraries 
are in a nonstandard prefix so pkg-config can find them.


Note that the version of gconf available via fink is 1.0something, 
specifically:

status	name	installed	binary	stable	unstable	category	summary	
current	gconf	1.0.9-1	1.0.9-1	1.0.9-1	 	gnome	Configuration database 
system

So at least for the packages fetchable via fink, this still doesn't 
work.

Does anyone know whether the just-released version 2.2 of Gnome can be 
compiled or installed on Mac OS X (or Darwin) straight from the source?

Thanks,
Alan
