Chris,

oops - the list of packages on our Web site is out of date.  Thanks for pointing that out.  You'll need these additional packages to build Shotwell 0.12 on Ubuntu:

libgtk-3-dev
libunique-3.0-dev
libwebkitgtk-3.0-dev

That should fix the problem.  We'll fix the Web site soon.  Thanks -

adam

Hi, 

The new Shotwell v12.2 is really well done! I was forced to update from 
Ubuntu v10 to enjoy the latest benefits. 

I'm trying to compile from source as per website instruction with git 
server containing latest code. 

The following steps preceded an unsuccessful build: 

- Install clean Ubuntu 12.04 LTS 
- Run sudo apt-get update 
- Install git 
- Install relevant "developer source packages" as per website: >>> sudo 
apt-get install libgconf2-dev libgee-dev libgexiv2-dev libglib2.0-dev 
libgstreamer0.10-dev libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-dev libgtk2.0-dev 
libgudev-1.0-dev libexif-dev libgphoto2-2-dev libraw-dev librest-dev 
libsoup2.4-dev libxml2-dev libsqlite3-dev m4 libunique-dev libwebkit-dev 
valac-0.16 
- Download source using: git clone git://yorba.org/shotwell 
- Run ./configure and make from Shotwell folder just created from git 
clone. 

Error message returned: 
.Dev/shotwell$ make 
Package gtk+-3.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path. 
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `gtk+-3.0.pc' 
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable 
No package 'gtk+-3.0' found 
Package unique-3.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path. 
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `unique-3.0.pc' 
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable 
No package 'unique-3.0' found 
Package webkitgtk-3.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path. 
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `webkitgtk-3.0.pc' 
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable 
No package 'webkitgtk-3.0' found 
make: *** [pkgcheck] Error 1 
.Dev/shotwell$ 

There ain't any packages when searching in Synaptic package manager for 
above mentioned required packages that I'm seeing, so I guess I'm looking 
in the wrong place for the solution. 

How are you guys getting this compiled on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS?
