Description Frédéric Parrenin 2015-04-25 18:35:26 UTC
When trying to compile geary-0.10, I successfully ran the ./configure script, so I thought all dependencies were satisfied.
Then when I ran "make", I got an error message about gobject-introspection.
I fixed it by installing libgirepository1.0-dev on my debian 8 system.
So it seems to me ./configure should detect the presence of this package.

I don't know if there's a particular version we need to target.  I also 
don't know if this is required for all components or only some.

Review of attachment 302533 [details] [review]:

There's probably a minimum version, but Geary is depending on libraries so old at this point I don't know if it's worth going back and finding the exact version.  Plus, gobject-introspection tends to be maintained along side the packages with version numbers we depend on.
