Re: [Rhythmbox-devel] Error while building Rhythmbox - glib-compile-schemas

[Matt Novenstern <fisxoj gmail com>]

Hi Ankit,

Someone else posted the same problem yesterday. You need the file yelp.m4, which seems to generally in a package called yelp-tools. It's a macro for automake that help with generating documentation. Install that and then make sure jhbuild reruns autogen and you should be all set!

I solved that issue and other dependency issues but I'm stuck at this very peculiar error:

make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/ankit/dev/git.gnome.org/rhythmbox/po'
Making all in help
make[2]: Entering directory `/home/ankit/dev/git.gnome.org/rhythmbox/help'
Makefile:507: *** missing separator.  Stop.

Now *that* I can't figure out this problem at all. I wiped and re-downloaded the git source still I'm having that error.

Strange!

I'm sorry, I should've mentioned. I'm on Ubuntu 12.04 64bit

I'm trying to start to work on Rhythmbox (my first venture into open source), but I ran into an error. 

I setup JHBuild and then ran:

jhbuild buildone rhythmbox

and here's the result:

checking whether make supports nested variables... yes

checking for pkg-config... /home/ankit/dev/jhbuild/install/bin/pkg-config

Package glib-2.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path.

Perhaps you should add the directory containing `glib-2.0.pc'

to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable

Package 'glib-2.0', required by '/usr/lib64/pkgconfig/gobject-introspection-1.0.pc', not found

Googling ubuntu 12.04 and glib-compile-schemas seems to suggest it's in the libglib2.0-bin package.  I don't have an Ubuntu install, so I can't check.  You also seem to be missing the glib development files - note the complaining about a missing glib-2.0.pc.  That'll be something like libglib2.0-dev.

Here's a post about using apt/dpkg tools to find what package provides a file:

On my debian box, I get

$ dpkg -S glib-compile-schemas

libglib2.0-0:amd64: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/glib-2.0/glib-compile-schemas

I hope that helps. I'm not really familiar with JHBuild.
