Missing link against libgobject
Last modified: 2014-08-02 13:05:51 UTC
Building gnome-python-2.28.0 on OS X 10.4/ppc using autotools with all dependencies at the level of current GNOME2.28, I'm getting some unresolved symbols in the gconf bindings: (undefined [lazy bound]) external _g_boxed_type_register_static (dynamically looked up) (undefined [lazy bound]) external _g_object_unref (dynamically looked up) (undefined [lazy bound]) external _g_type_check_instance_cast (dynamically looked up) Would be saner if this module were linked against the dependent lib that supplies its symbols (symbol-resolution is stricter on OS X than on most other platforms). The WAF wscript already seems to have this additional link, I think just need to add it to the Makefile.am to keep that build system in sync.
Created attachment 154916 [details] [review] Sync flags in gconf/Makefile.am with gconf/wscript dependency wscript has: >conf.pkg_check_modules('GCONF', 'gconf-2.0 >= 2.12 pygobject-2.0', and Makefile.am has: >gconf_la_CPPFLAGS = $(GCONF_CFLAGS) >gconf_la_LIBADD = $(GCONF_LIBS) $(PYTHON_LIBS) so use wscript's same package-list for setting the autotools's GCONF_* variables: - PKG_CHECK_MODULES(GCONF, gconf-2.0 >= gconf_required_version, + PKG_CHECK_MODULES(GCONF, gconf-2.0 >= gconf_required_version pygobject-2.0,
The last gnome-python code changes took place in April 2011: https://git.gnome.org/browse/archive/gnome-python/log/ This project is not under active development anymore. This project got recently archived in GNOME Git. It is currently unlikely that there will be any further active development. Closing this report as WONTFIX as part of Bugzilla Housekeeping to reflect reality. Please feel free to reopen this bug report in the future if anyone takes the responsibility for active development again. If you are interested in maintainership, inform https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list gnome-python wrapped GNOME 2's core libraries which are all deprecated and not under development anymore. For Python in GNOME 3, see https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/PyGObject and its gobject-introspection approach.
