./configure doesn't work properly

Asked by Jose Mendez

I did: bzr branch lp:libdbusmenu and had no problem.

but I tried to execute: ./configure and it starts working until I get this message:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
         configure: error: Package requirements (glib-2.0 >= 2.35.4 -
                                          gio-2.0 >= 2.35.4) were not met: -

         Requested 'glib-2.0 >= 2.35.4' but version of GLib is 2.32.4 -
        Requested 'gio-2.0 >= 2.35.4' but version of GIO is 2.32.4 -

        Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you -
        installed software in a non-standard prefix. -

       Alternatively, you may set the environment variables DBUSMENUGLIB_CFLAGS -
       and DBUSMENUGLIB_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config. -
        See the pkg-config man page for more details. -
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Not only with configure but autogen.sh ... the same error

I have done: (with no problem)

sudo apt-get install pkg-config
sudo apt-get install build-essential
sudo apt-get install gnome-core-devel build-essential

echo $PKG_CONFIG_PATH
/usr/lib/pkgconfig

UBUNTU 12,04

Any help??????

You'll need the -dev packages of the named packages so that you can build what you need.

Thanks for you quick answer.

I have installed ok the next packages:

* libpackagekit-glib2-dev

* libgio-cil

* libgio2.0-cil-dev

* libghc-gio-dev

* libghc6-gio-dev

But to no avail. I mean the result is the same.

*******

I have also tried to install the next package just in case:

pepe@pepe-HP-Mini-110-4100:~/libdbusmenu$ sudo apt-get install libspice-client-glib-2.0-dev

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable

And thais the result . Maybe it can be useful for you.

Thanks..

It seems that there are dependency problems for the trusty version of libdbusmenu that are not fulfilled in Ubuntu precise.

As you can see from https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/glib2.0 the condition glib >= 2.35.4 requires the versions for saucy or newer.

So the prerequisites are not met.

I see the following possible options:
1. upgrade your system from precise to saucy or higher
2. go back to an older version of libdbusmenu (e.g. lp:ubuntu/precise/libdbusmenu )
3. try getting a sufficiently high version of glib and gio on your precise system (if that is possible at all; either from a PPA or by compiling from source).
