Description Hussam Al-Tayeb 2017-02-27 21:33:18 UTC 
I get the following error:

  CXX      main.o
make[3]: *** No rule to make target 'legacy/gsm-resources.o', needed by 'gnome-system-monitor'.  Stop.
make[3]: Leaving directory '/home/hussam/cache/gnome/gnome-system-monitor/src/gnome-system-monitor/src'

This is a clean checkout of gnome-system-monitor from git master branch.
Comment 1 Robert Roth 2017-02-27 21:44:33 UTC 
Strange, I have just made a completely clean checkout, and system monitor builds just fine. Adding Benoit to CC, maybe he can help me out here.
Comment 2 Benoît Dejean 2017-02-28 17:40:09 UTC 
Hello, what do you mean by clean checkout ? In a brand new directory ? If not, even by running again the autogen, you might run into this. Try a "git clean -x -f" (=> https://manpages.debian.org/jessie/git-man/git-clean.1.en.html ) ?
Comment 3 Robert Roth 2017-02-28 18:05:03 UTC 
I have tried cloning the repository from scratch, and building, and it did work that way.
Comment 4 Hussam Al-Tayeb 2017-02-28 18:26:12 UTC 
I did 
git clone git://git.gnome.org/gnome-system-monitor --depth=1
cd gnome-system-monitor
NOCONFIGURE=1 ./autogen.sh
./configure --prefix=/usr --libexecdir=/usr/lib  --enable-systemd --disable-static
make

I just discovered that removing --disable-static makes it compile correctly.
Comment 5 Benoît Dejean 2017-03-01 12:59:39 UTC 
And it makes sense because we now have a static library in the build process.
Comment 6 Hussam Al-Tayeb 2017-03-01 13:05:55 UTC 
Would it be possible to remove that configure option from configure.ac? Thank you.
Comment 7 Benoît Dejean 2017-03-01 13:31:50 UTC 
I don't think so, this is a generic libtool flag.
Comment 8 Hussam Al-Tayeb 2017-03-01 13:47:00 UTC 
Ok, thank you for looking into this.
