libgnomecanvas and gail

(posted at 2007-11-26 14:56:39 UTC)

This has got me stumped - how am I supposed to build this?

gtkpod needs libgnomecanvas - okay, grab it, build it. configure for libgnomecanvas 2.20.1.1 errors out though: "checking for LIBGNOMECANVAS... configure: error: Package requirements ( gtk+-2.0 >= 2.0.3 gail >= 1.9.0 libart-2.0 >= 2.3.8 pango >= 1.0.1 pangoft2 >= 1.0.1) were not met: No package 'gail' found".

Fair enough, I'll walk one more down the dependency tree, and build gail - well, try to: "configure: error: Package requirements (atk >= 1.13.0 gtk+-2.0 >= 2.9.4 libgnomecanvas-2.0 >= 2.0.0) were not met: No package 'libgnomecanvas-2.0' found". Erm... okay, what's next :s

This is usual with gnome - you need a time machine.

The a11y module was moved from (IIRC) gnomecanvas to gail, so you need to build a newer version of gnomecanvas.

It actually wants libgnomecanvas2-dev

The config error messages are almost always wrong. gail actually wanted libgnomecanvas2-dev, which means the sources.

Not every distro splits up packages like that

Not anymore

As of libgnomecanvas-2.20, it depends on >=gail-1.19.6 gail on the other hand doesn't depend on libgnomecanvas anymore.

A simply solution... Change distro...
