Can't build python-osmgpsmap 0.7.3?

[Gordon JC Pearce]

Just as the subject line says, with the most recent python-osmgpsmap it
bails at ./configure with:

configure: error: cannot find install-sh, install.sh, or shtool in "."
"./.." "./../.."

So, copy in /usr/share/automake-1.11/install-sh and...

configure: error: cannot run /bin/sh ./config.sub

which sure enough is missing.

What have I got wrong here?

I presume this is building from tarballs. What is your build environment?

can you call

autoreconf -fvi

or

./autogen.sh

and then ./configure?

I'm building in Arch Linux, which uses gcc 4.6.0 (and indeed pretty much
the newest versions of everything).

That allows me to run configure, and now it bails because it detects
python 3 instead of python 2.

I don't understand autotools well enough to know how to fix that.

Ok good.

yeah, python3 not supported (by pygtk either). Python3 support will
come in the next year as GNOME moves from pygtk to PyGObject + GObject
introspecton + gtk+-3

Does anyone here use arch and know how to force python2?

It all works now; I just used "python2 setup.py install" with --root set
appropriately, and I have a nice shiny working python-osmgpsmap.

For those of you using Arch, the packages are in AUR and can be
installed either "by hand" or with the AUR helper of your choice. They
are called:

osm-gps-map
python-osmgpsmap

Why doesn't the second one have hyphens in osm-gps-map? No idea, that's
how it is on John's server ;-)

Dear Gordon:

Can you give a url to the sources, so that I may download and build it too?

I am excited to be able to get my hands upon it!  Even if it is just a : git clone access to the sources...

Just to make sure, are you talking about the gtk3 branch?

Sincerely yours,
Rob G. Healey

No, this is the Gtk2 version. I should probably start looking at the
Gtk3 version, because it looks like I'm going to have to write my own
object rendering code at some stage and Gtk3 is the way the world is
going.

Dear Gordon:

I just barely know a little bit of python, HTML, and CSS, so if there is anything that I can do in testing it, please let me know what I can do?

I am more than willing to test and try out alpha/ beta code to test and figure out the bugs...

I am working with the Gramps project and we know would love to get a package for OsmGpsMap3 and OsmGpsMap2 for those not ready for gtk3 yet!

Please let me know what I can do?

Sincerely yours,
Rob G. Healey
