[Tracker] Building tracker and tracker apps from trunk

[Damien Moore <damienlmoore gmail com>]

Hi again,

I downloaded recent source from trunk and (after removing tracker from my ubuntu hardy box) have tried to build it. After resolving a bunch of missing dependencies I got autogen.sh to run and can successfully make then sudo make install. This appears to install the daemon(s) and command line tools (tracker-files, tracker-search, tracker-tag, tracker-info, tracker-services, tracker-unique, tracker-meta-folder, tracker-stats, tracker-query, tracker-status). 

I have two problems:

1/ I also want to get the gui tools, but I either have missing dependencies or have used the wrong flags with autogen.sh (either is entirely possible - I'm not terribly familiar with the linux build tools).

I've tried variants on:
./autogen.sh --enable-deskbar-applet --enable-tracker-search-tool --enable-tracker-preferences --enable-tracker-applet --enable-libtracker-gtk --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc

but the build config summary reports only the deskbar-applet being enabled (see below). 

2/ I'm also have trouble with the dbus interface. I've tried to call the Text method of org.freedesktop.Tracker.Search interface but it returns with "can't find method in interface with args xxx" type error. (On the other hand I can call GetVersion method from org.freedesktop.Tracker interface). This was code that worked for the version of tracker that shipped with hardy (0.6.6), but doesn't work on trunk...

Can anyone help me?

cheers,
dm
