I need BMPX for 64-bit

[Archie]

Hi.

I'm just wondering if any of the other packagers have successfully built BMPX for 64-bit. I've hit a wall with %{_lib}sexymm-devel and I can't seem to find it anywhere. I probably would need the SRPM so I can take a look at the specfile. Thanks in advance.

Is that be included in gtkmm?

[Archie]

I don't think so, Neal. I did a search on rpm.bone.net and checked out the provides. Neither %{_lib}sexymm nor bmpx is among the provides nor the require. If I can just find %{_lib}sexymm, then I could proceed with the build of bmpx and cross my fingers that it would be successfully packaged.

I did a web search on it and libsexymm is said to be a gtkmm widget. At least that is my understanding of what I read.

You are absolutely right, Neal. How could I have missed that?? Found the lib but getting bad exit status.

The error is : /bin/sed: can't read /usr/lib64/libpangocairo-1.0.la: No such file or directory

Although I do have  /usr/lib64/libpangocairo-1.0.so and  /usr/lib64/libpangocairo-1.0.so.0 and another  /usr/lib64/libpangocairo-1.0.so.0.2903.0, this is most likely why I get a bad exit status. Normally, I'd just leave as that but since this is probably where I can learn, any ideas on how I can fix this?

[Neal ManBear]

It seems like it is looking for libpangocairo-1.0.la specifically.

libsexymm is in the 64bit repo

lib64sexymm2-0.1.9-1pclos2011.x86_64.rpm
lib64sexymm2-devel-0.1.9-1pclos2011.x86_64.rpm

you need to run rm -rf /usr/lib64/*.la so they don't try to link against it. We are dropping the la files when appropriate.

Thanks, Tex. However, I failed to build both bmpx and conky with errors that are beyond me now. Conky errors on what seems to be on make. Well, as the Chinese proverb goes ... I still need to eat more rice...
