How to compile labyrinth-0.5RC3 with gnome 3 desktop?

[RSA]

Hello,

To compile labyrinth-0.5RC3 gnome-desktop2 is required. Can we not compile with Gnome 3?

I don't think that should have been required at all - libgnome-desktop
is a library to read .desktop files, which labyrinth shouldn't need to
do. I've checked that it runs fine without it, and removed the check
for it [1].

More generally, I think PKG_CHECK_MODULES isn't quite the right tool,
because it forces a build-dependency on -dev versions of packages,
which are irrelevant to pure Python code. This is something else that
we'll look at after 0.5 has been released.

Thanks,
Thomas

Hi Thomas,

Even after removing the lines as shown in r378, configure is reporting error:

configure: error: Package requirements (gtk+-2.0            >= 2.8
        pygtk-2.0           >= 2.8
        pygobject-2.0       >= 2.10
        gnome-python-2.0    >= 2.12
        gnome-desktop-2.0   >= 2.14
        pycairo             >= 1.0
) were not met:

No package 'gnome-desktop-2.0' found

After making changes in configure.ac I executed ./configure --prefix=/usr. Is this correct?

No, you have to first re-run autogen.sh, which isn't in the
distribution tarball. For now, you'll need to check out the
development version from svn. See the instructions at
http://code.google.com/p/labyrinth/source/checkout

Also note that I later decided I should only have removed the
gnome-desktop line, so I put gnome-python back there. For now, that
does leave a dependency on Gnome 2 libraries. That's another thing we
aim to improve after 0.5 is out.

Thanks,
Thomas
