Re: Building Instructions?

[Landon Jurgens <slick666 gmail com>]

Continuing the massive massive email thread!

I'm working through all the features and I think I'm am close to a solution here I just don't know how to set my environ flags right. I'm stuck on GDA libs

configure: error: Package requirements (libgda-3.0 >= 1.0) were not met:

No package 'libgda-3.0' found

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you

installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables GDA_CFLAGS

and GDA_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.

See the pkg-config man page for more details.

ubuntu now has GDA 4.0 and I think I'll probably be ok if I force it to accept 4.0. I set my environ flags but it's still stuck. any ideas?

landon@landon-VirtualBox:~/planner$ echo $GDA_LIBS

libgda-4.0

Great. Also, this is a wiki, so don't be afraid to make incremental
changes directly there.

Which I already answered in
http://mail.gnome.org/archives/planner-dev-list/2011-October/msg00001.html
but there were other answers to other questions too so you may have
missed it. :-)

./autogen.sh --help
or actually (autogen.sh generates and then calls configure, so once
you generated it you only call configure directly)
./configure --help
brings a list of options.

In this list, you'll find:
 * --prefix which is used to change the directory your build will be
installed in. This is useful if you want to have a hand built version
installed alongside a package from your distribution. What's more, if
you change it to somewhere where you have write access such as a
subdir of your home, you won't need to *sudo* make install.
 * --enable-foo to enable feature foo. This is what you're talking about.

Having the dependency installed is only one part of the problem. You
need to --enable-feature to have configure add support for said
feature. First try adding that option and you'll see configure
complaining about a missing dependency.
