GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 330428
jhbuild of vte should also build vte
Last modified: 2006-02-08 17:25:35 UTC
vte is a dependency for gnome-terminal. vte requires libzvt, which also links against glib-2.0. This causes the build to link against a jhbuild-glib and a system glib, as libzvt is not in the jhbuild modules-set for meta-gnome-core. (ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/libzvt/2.0)
Created attachment 58944 [details] [review] enable new dependency I tried to enable the new dependency, this as such works. Unfortunately the build of libzvt from cvs fails :( see http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=330431
Why do you think vte requires libzvt? This is not the case. Libzvt has been obsoleted by vte. Furthermore libzvt is unmaintained.
have a look into the configure script of vte, if it find zvt it build against it, which breaks jhbuild. For now I've disabled that part of configure, as there is no switch like --without-zvt. Should the zvt stuff be removed from vte?
Yes, should be removed. Filed as bug 330441.
