gnome-split-1.0 compilation fails on fedora14 64bit

[Martin Gansser]

Hi,

tried to compile gnome-split-1.0 on fedora14 64bit, but this fails with the following error messages:

./configure --build=x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu --host=x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu --program-prefix= --disable-dependency-tracking --prefix=/usr --exec-prefix=/usr --bindir=/usr/bin --sbindir=/usr/sbin --sysconfdir=/etc --datadir=/usr/share --includedir=/usr/include --libdir=/usr/lib64 --libexecdir=/usr/libexec --localstatedir=/var --sharedstatedir=/var/lib --mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info

HI Martin,

Thanks for your bug report and your patch.
I'm not running Fedora so I might be wrong but if the patch is applied 32 bits Fedra users will not be able to build GNOME Split anymore right?

If it is the case, the configure should check the system architecture. It's not an autotools configure file as you can see, it is a hand written one. So some of the options that you passed to the configure file are not supported by the script.

[Martin Gansser (martin-gansser)]

Thanks for your answer,
the patch is only necessary to run the configure script on fedora64bit.
The error messages are the same, when running make.

[Guillaume Mazoyer (respawneral)]

It looks like your trying to compile using ecj. It might be a good idea to use openjdk instead.
./configure ....some options... compiler=javac
(once openjdk is installed of course).

[Martin Gansser (martin-gansser)]

this is what javac gives:

[root@fc14 gnome-split-1.0]# ./configure --prefix=/usr compiler=javac

[Guillaume Mazoyer (respawneral)]

It seems that the version of java-gnome is not update to date to compile the 1.0 version of GNOME Split. What version of java-gnome do you use? GNOME Split 1.0 needs java-gnome 4.0.17 while GNOME Split 0.9 just needs java-gnome 4.0.16.

You can try to compile the 0.9 version to see if it works. After that, you can report a bug on Fedora's bug tracker to request an update of the java bindings for GNOME.

In attachment, a patch that you'll probably want to try.

[Martin Gansser (martin-gansser)]

that correct, gnome-split-0.9 compiles fine with java-gnome 4.0.16, but gnome-split-1.0
needs java-gnome-4.0.17.

[Martin Gansser (martin-gansser)]

gnome-split-0.9 compiles and install fine

[Guillaume Mazoyer (respawneral)]

Here is an interesting bug.
If you don't use the libnotify you should be able to start GNOME Split.
To disable the libnotify, you can edit the configuration file of GNOME Split in "~/.config/gnome-split/config".
Seach for UseNotification (should be in line 15) and set it to "false".

[Martin Gansser (martin-gansser)]

indeed, if UseNotification = false gnome-split starts.
thanks Martin

The fix for the dependencies check on Fedora has been commited. See revision 251.
