gnome-inform7 5U92 for Ubuntu x64?
Christopher Armstrong
I guess if nobody else is going to be regularly making them, maybe
I'll try to collaborate with P. Chimento on getting them into the
usual release process...

On a related note: Is it possible (using sufficient force) to bludgeon
the gnome-inform7 source into even *building* on Debian stable? I want
to play with I7, but I'd rather not go through the hassle of switching
to unstable for the sake of one program.

The previous builder doesn't have access to that system any more, so
I'd greatly appreciate it if you'd like to contribute them!

I thought it did, actually. If you tell me what dependencies are
missing from stable, I'll tell you how to bludgeon them out (a
discussion perhaps best conducted by e-mail). In any case, I would
like to have the source distribution build on Etch stable, at least
until Lenny is released.

Sure, I'll contribute them. I'm tempted to make a Debian package from
scratch instead of using alien on the RPMs, as I believe they've been
built in the past, but I'm happy to run the build the usual way to get
a 5U92 release out ASAP. What's the procedure? When I get home tonight
I'll download the source and give it a tinker.

Here are the basic steps for building such binary package:
install the dependencies for compiling:
sudo apt-get install libgtksourceview-dev libgtkhtml3.8-dev
libgtkspell-dev libdbus-glib-1-dev libgtk2.0-0 libgnomeui-0
libgtksourceview2.0-0 libgtkspell0 libuuid1 libgtksourceview2.0-0
libgtkhtml2-0 libgtkspell0 libfreetype6 libsdl-image1.2 libpng12-0
libdbus-glib-1-2
create the folders (for example)
/opt/Debian/gnome-inform7_5U92_amd64/usr
/opt/Debian/gnome-inform7_5U92_amd64/DEBIAN
create the /opt/Debian/gnome-inform7_5U92_amd64/DEBIAN/control file
Package: gnome-inform7
Version: 5U92
Section: contrib
Priority: optional
Architecture: x86_64 (I'm not sure for this part, it may be this
or amd64... but I think it's this)
Depends: libgtk2.0-0, libgnomeui-0, libgtksourceview2.0-0,
libgtkspell0, libuuid1, libgtksourceview2.0-0, libgtkhtml2-0,
libgtkspell0, libfreetype6, libsdl-image1.2, libpng12-0, libdbus-glib-1-2
Suggests: frotz, gargoyle
Maintainer: your name
Description: GNOME Inform 7 port of the Inform 7 IDE
GNOME Inform 7 is a GNOME port of the Inform 7 integrated
development environment for Inform 7. Inform 7 is a "natural"
programming language for writing interactive fiction (also known as text
adventures.)
(maybe I've required too many dependencies, but I think it needs most of
them...)
create a copyright file :
/opt/Debian/gnome-inform7_5U92_amd64/usr/share/gnome-inform7/copyright
uncompress the sources in a temp folder
then
./configure --prefix=/usr
make
make install prefix=/opt/Debian/gnome-inform7_5U92_amd64/usr
Then from /opt/Debian run :
dpkg-deb --build gnome-inform7_5U92_amd64
It's how I did the i386 package. I no longer use the Debian 64 system I
had before, so it's difficult for me to build it.
About building gnome-inform7 on Etch, good luck! I wanted to do it for
my eeepc, but etch has too old packages, especially all the libgtk
dependencies, so I quickly gave up.

Thanks very much. I'll see what I can do about making an actual
debian/ directory so that we can share it for building 32-bit and 64-
bit packages (and make it easy to update to new upstream releases).

The only GTK dependency that ./configure complains about on *my* etch
system is gtksourceview (which is, indeed, a 1.x version rather than a
2.x version).
