jhbuild of glade fails
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
building Gnome 2.6 (07/02) with fresh sources fails on glade with the following error: Making install in po make[1]: Entering directory `/opt/cvs/gnome2/glade/po' if test -r ".././mkinstalldirs"; then \ .././mkinstalldirs /opt/gnome2/share; \ else \ /bin/sh ../mkinstalldirs /opt/gnome2/share; \ fi ../mkinstalldirs: ../mkinstalldirs: No such file or directory make[1]: *** [install-data-yes] Error 127
I've had similar problems as well. mkinstalldirs should be copied into the top Glade directory by automake, I think, but for some reason that isn't happening.
this issue is not limited to "glade". "shared-mime-info" and "nautilus-media" suffer the same faith. I have made a work around that I execute before doing "jhbuild build". It is crude but since I know I have automake-1.7/mkinstalldirs in my target directory of the build, it works. But this is not a good solution in general. [ -a mkinstalldirs ] || ln -sf $TRGT/share/automake-1.7/mkinstalldirs .
It seems to be caused by a change in automake, in that it no longer installs mkinstalldirs, causing lots of problems! Marking as a dup. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 132858 ***
