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

[Ankit Arora <ankitarora121 gmail com>]

Ah alright, I installed yelp-tools, lets see how it goes! Thanks.

One more thing, though it is probably jhbuild related and not rhythmbox related. I'm able to do "jhbuild buildone rhythmbox" but not "jhbuild build rhythmbox".

With jhbuild buildone rhythmbox I get:

I: module "rhythmbox" does not exist, created automatically using repository "git.gnome.org" 

and the build goes on as normal, 

With jhbuild build rhythmbox I get 

"jhbuild build: A module called ''rhythmbox'' could not be found."

and then nothing happens.

Any idea what might be going on behind the scenes?

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:

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

configure: error: glib-compile-schemas 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:

http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/equivalent-of-rpm-qf-command/

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.
