Description James Andrewartha 2009-05-19 05:15:25 UTC 
I'm jhbuilding gnome-control-center, but autogen.sh fails during automake:
configure.in:282: required file `libslab/Makefile.in' not found
configure.in:282: required file `libslab/libslab.pc.in' not found
Makefile.am:1: required directory ./libslab does not exist

because it's looking for files in libslab, but there is no libslab in git: http://git.gnome.org/cgit/gnome-control-center/tree/

I'm also running into this using jhbuild.

Bug 375054 references a blog page that suggests that one needs to pull libslab into this directory as a short-term solution until someone pulls the code into the repository.  Is this still the case?  And where does one find these files?
Comment 3 Jens Granseuer 2009-06-07 09:26:17 UTC 
Yes. libslab lives in the gnome-main-menu module.
Comment 4 Frank Solensky 2009-06-07 16:07:10 UTC 
James: perhaps you can change this to a bug against jhbuild: gnome-control-center missing a dependency on gnome-main-menu.
Comment 5 Olav Vitters 2009-06-07 16:45:28 UTC 
Not a jhbuild thing, libslab was an svn:external.
Comment 6 Frank Solensky 2009-06-12 11:59:03 UTC 
OK, but what I meant to suggest was that gnome-main-menu ought to be one of the modules pulled down when I run jhbuild without arguments.  I got past the immediate problem with "jhbuild buildone gnome-main-menu".
Comment 7 Bastien Nocera 2010-09-29 15:00:46 UTC 
libslab was remove for GNOME 3.0. Still doesn't fix the problem for older versions, but not something that's likely going to get fixed...
