I'm bulding gnome2 from the freebsd6 ports collection. I have a recently cvsupped system, and the build went for several hours without a problem that wasn't simply an easily rectified package dependancy. During the yelp-2.12.2 buld however, (which is now using the gecko engine instead of gtkhtml2), the make stopped just after configure for yelp-2.12.2: ...... checking whch gecko to use... firefox checking for firefox-gtkmozembed... gnome-config: not found gnome-config: not found Package nspr was not found in the pkg-config search path. Perhaps you should add the ..... ....... I then wen to ports/devel/nspr and did #make deinstall; make install (which built the new nspr as per the recent cvs update) then returned to the gnome2 build and it continued correctly. Having had no real luck searching for info about "firefox-gtkmozembed" library requirements for yelp, or the conection between yelp, firefox-gtkmozembed and nspr (the Netscape Portable Runtime platform-neutral API for system and libc-like functions, used by Mozilla, and Netscape's other browser products) I thought a note was worth making about this particular scenario. I should add that I did actually ave a working gnome2 enviroment running, but I want to have a source based environment I can keep updated with cvs, and built with my system-, and cpu architecture-specific CFLAGS. This is why I had to deinstall nspr before make install -ing. To do this I wrote a script to pkg-delete -r anything with gnome in it's packagename, before doing a #make in ports/x11/gnome2. The problem detailed in this message did not appear until the subsequent #"make install" Another notable, but unrelated point: I also had t modify two struct definitions- redeclaring them as type const, as apposed to the new ORBIT2_MAYBE_CONST macro for gnomecontrolcenter-2.2.12.2 to compile. I'd like to finish up with a big thankyou and congratulations to evryone - this has been by far the easiest such procedure I've tried with gnome on any FreeBSD system. Well done. -- Aluminium Oxide orac000@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx -- http://www.fastmail.fm - Access all of your messages and folders wherever you are _______________________________________________ gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
