jhbuild pygobjects

Post by shieldfire »

I am trying to install pygobjects (for Python 3) on LInux Mint 17. This fails miserably.
A guide I found said, the best way is to build it yourself using jhbuild. I can get jhbuild to install both through apt-get and compiling the thing manually. Unfortunately this where the successes end.

Code: Select all

 $ jhbuild build pygobject
Required packages:
  System installed packages which are too old:
    (none)
  No matching system package installed:
    bison (required=2.0)
    flex (required=2.0)
    py3cairo (py3cairo.pc, required=1.10.0)
    intltool (required=0.50)
    libxml2 (libxml-2.0.pc, required=2.7.8)
    python-devel (python3.pc, required=3.2)
    libxslt (libxslt.pc, required=1.1.26)
jhbuild build: Required system dependencies not installed. Install using the command 'jhbuild sysdeps --install' or to ignore system dependencies use command-line option --nodeps

While --nodeps also fails on the first hurdle for automake on gnome-common.

Code: Select all

$ jhbuild sysdeps --install
lists a long list of stuff it wants to install and then ends with "jhbuild sysdeps: apt-file is required to install packages on this system. Please install apt-file."

Is there a apt-file for all the stuff it wants? It's like 30 packages starting with

Code: Select all

pixman (pixman-1.pc, required=0.30, installed=0.30.2)
    libpng (libpng.pc, installed=1.2.50)
    python2-devel (python2.pc, required=2.5, installed=2.7)
    shared-mime-info (shared-mime-info.pc, required=1.0, installed=1.2)
    sm (sm.pc, installed=1.2.1)
    xkeyboard-config (xkeyboard-config.pc, installed=2.10.1)
    xorg-wacom (xorg-wacom.pc, installed=0.23.0)
    libX11 (x11.pc, installed=1.6.2)
    libXdamage (xdamage.pc, installed=1.1.4)
    libXext (xext.pc, installed=1.3.2)
    libXcursor (xcursor.pc, installed=1.1.14)
    libXfixes (xfixes.pc, installed=5.0.1)
    libXft (xft.pc, required=2.0.0, installed=2.3.1)
    libXcomposite (xcomposite.pc, installed=0.4.4)
    libXinerama 
Any suggestions on this?

How about this method, configure python3 first, then install the app you want..

--if you include the jhbuild gnome dependencies it may be OK.
