GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 529704
gnome-desktop is not compiling on jhbuild
Last modified: 2008-05-08 16:00:14 UTC
Please describe the problem: If you compile gnome-desktop it stops because it cannot find gnome-about/foundation-members.list Steps to reproduce: 1. jhbuild build gnome-desktop Actual results: gvfs-copy program exists but it fails to copy the file so it doesn't exist in the end and the else is not getting executed in autogen.sh Expected results: I'd expect that it creates the file in case it couldn't copy it. Does this happen every time? Always Other information:
Created attachment 109816 [details] [review] Creates foundation-members.list file if it couldn't be copied
There was already a bug 517539 about that but I couldn't reopen it, so I created this bug and attached a patch.
How come it fails to copy the file? It should work if gvfs is compiled with libsoup.
Error copying file http://api.gnome.org/gnome-about/foundation-members: DBus error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.gtk.vfs.Daemon was not provided by any .service files
Ah, you'd need to ask some gvfs people, but it sounds like something is broken in the setup. Anyway, it doesn't mean we shouldn't fix the problem in gnome-desktop... Will commit the fix next week (when I come back from Guademy)
Fixed.
