Description Que Quotion 2015-01-11 09:21:08 UTC 
It is not possible to build gobject-introspection from git.

Although I have glib2 installed (with --enable-shared) gobject refuses o continue beyond this point:

  GISCAN   GLib-2.0.gir
ERROR: can't resolve libraries to shared libraries: gobject-2.0, glib-2.0
Makefile:3409: recipe for target 'GLib-2.0.gir' failed
make[2]: *** [GLib-2.0.gir] Error 1
Comment 1 André Klapper 2015-01-11 12:29:42 UTC 
Please provide complete steps to reproduce the problem, including the given commands and their parameters.
Comment 2 Que Quotion 2015-01-11 14:06:53 UTC 
Not much to it:

  ../autogen.sh --prefix=/usr --disable-static --enable-doctool

  make
Comment 3 Que Quotion 2015-01-11 14:36:11 UTC 
note, ignore the "../"
Comment 4 André Klapper 2015-01-11 20:50:09 UTC 
So you did compile glib before? 
Which versions is this about? git master?
Comment 5 Que Quotion 2015-01-11 21:57:57 UTC 
Yes, git master.

Are you able to build it?

my installed glib packages:

glib 1.2.10-12
glib2-git 2.43.2.15.g84a1efe-1
glibc 2.20-6 (base)
Comment 6 Emmanuele Bassi (:ebassi) 2015-01-11 22:05:03 UTC 
your build environment is broken, and you should never build code and install it in /usr unless you know precisely what you're doing.

Bugzilla is also not an help forum. I suggest you use the gtk-list mailing list: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list/

(In reply to Emmanuele Bassi (:ebassi) from comment #6)
My build environment is not broken, it is makepkg, and you have no idea.

You should assume that someone who bothers to as much as make a bugzilla account intends to report problems.
