make is getting it all wrong ;)

[Archie]

What do I do or how should I handle a situation when in running make it looks for a .la file, and when in doing a locate of the file, a return of .so (and .a) are indcated on the same folder as the search?

Error:

Code: [Select]

libtool: link: cannot find the library `/usr/lib64/libgobject-2.0.la' or unhandled argument `/usr/lib64/libgobject-2.0.la'

Rerun configure before to run make again.

Heya AS,

The was actually from:

Code: [Select]

$ ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr
$ ./configure
$ make

[AS]

The was actually from:

Code: [Select]

$ ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr
$ ./configure
$ make

the command "./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr" in turn will call "configure  --prefix=/usr",
the "./configure" alone should be omitted, because it will reset the prefix to the default.

I have also assumed you already deleted the .la files as suggested from Texstar and Sproggy ...

[Archie]

rm -rf /usr/lib64/*.la

Done. But I am still running into make errors. FWIW, I am trying to compile LightDM 1.1.0.

Code: [Select]

$ ./autogen.sh
--snip--                                   // ALL GOOD after adding ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS = -I m4 on Makefile.am ... except

Code: [Select]

$./configure --prefix=/usr \

> --disable-static \
> --enable-gtk-doc\
> --with-greeter-session=lightdm-default-greeter \

Not easy to package (sometimes to update)! I'm gonna take a break .. having at it for almost the whole day, and I've got like a splitting headache.

Peace and much respect.

Hmmm gonna try that ... I was just following what was outlined on Suse's specfile and both autogen and configure were present.

Sorry, AS. Still a red light. I think I'm missing a dependency. I'm just not sure which.

[AS]

--snip--                                   // Commented out GOBJECT_INTROSPECTION_CHECK(0.9.5) at line 15303 on configure

this line is unclear to me, either there exists some other means to disable GOBJECT_INTROSPECTION, something like "configure --disable-gobject-introspection", or it is a needed dependency from lightdm

It is indeed needed so I removed the # and let the error persist.

Code: [Select]

$  rpm -qa *intros*
gobject-introspection-1.30.0-1pclos2011

just for fun try this

./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr --enable-maintainer-mode && make clean && make

most of the xfce stuff is now using the autogen.sh in it's src ...

No dice.

That didn't even make it to && make clean.

Executing the command separately,

Code: [Select]

make: *** No rule to make target `clean'.  Stop.
So the following looks about right for now:

Code: [Select]

$./configure --prefix=/usr \
> --libexecdir=/usr/lib64 \
> --enable-gtk-doc \
> --with-greeter-session=lightdm-default-greeter \
> --with-greeter-user=lightdm
At least with those, I am getting:

Code: [Select]

                    Light Display Manager 1.1.0
                    ===========================

        prefix:                   /usr
        Greeter session:          lightdm-default-greeter
        Greeter user:             lightdm
        User session:             default
        liblightdm-gobject:       no
        GObject introspection:
        liblightdm-qt:            yes
        GTK+ Greeter:             yes
        Qt Greeter:               yes
I just need a bit more research on liblightdm-gobject. Dang, this is gonna be another one of those wild goose chase with Texstar easily getting it built.

Sorry, but i was make it in Sat Nov 19 2011, but don_t know how to work with it.
Neal has an rpm package, Archie look in your dropbox folder, i load the source up...
