GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 123278
Patch to bootstrap MacOS X
Last modified: 2006-07-04 07:55:25 UTC
This is a patch to add all of the stuff that is needed to build the bootstrap stuff needed for gnome-desktop on Darwin (without gnomemeeting, I'm still working on getting the pwlib/openH323 stuff working.) Unfortunately the size is kind of large, due to the fact that libjpeg needs new config.* & ltmain.sh files to compile properly. A really cool feature would be to provide these within the GARNOME, and have a pre-configure target to copy them in when needed ;) Any patches that I have included have been snarfed from the upstream sources, or submitted upstream. I've got patches for all of the packages in gnome-desktop also, with the exception of anything that relies on gstreamer (gnome-media and nautilus-media, as well as the gst-*) There's a problem with the PPC assembly, which is being addressed by the gstreamer team. Other than that, I'll work on getting them submitted upstream, then submit them here. Let me know if this isn't the type of stuff you want included in the tree, and I'll maintain a separate garball on my site for all of the MacOS stuff.
Created attachment 20306 [details] [review] patch for Darwin bootstrap
Adding the PATCH keyword and upgrading the priority level to High since it seems that this patch has not been commented on.
The only way a patch this big would work (aside from being merged into upstream packages and code being added to compensate for the lack of a suitable tar) would be to reconfigure the bootstrap/ directory to be _distribution_ dependant instead of the present _package_ dependant format.
Changing this to NEEDINFO, assuming the patch included here _can_ actually be re-worked.
*poke* NEEDINFO means "Needs information", otherwise we are going to close this bug soon. If you need help providing the information requested, feel free to ask. Inclined to close this bug INCOMPLETE.
Closing this bug report as no further information has been provided. Please feel free to reopen this bug if you can provide the information asked for. Thanks!
