Problem with current xfc -dev debian packages

[Sylvain Vedrenne]

Hi Bo,

I'm observing the following using the development debian packages
available here:  http://lue.dk/debian/

$ pkg-config --cflags xfcui-4.3
-pthread -I/usr/include/xfce4/xfc-4.3 -I/usr/lib/xfce4/xfc-4.3/include -I/usr/include/gtk-2.0 -I/usr/include/xfce4 -I/usr/lib/xfce4/xfc/include -I/usr/lib/gtk-2.0/include ...etc.

but when I try to compile my app, I get an error saying the following files are not found:
  xfc/gtk/table.hh
  xfc/gtk/statusbar.hh
  ...
  etc.
And indeed they are not present anywhere on my local filesystem.

In fact, these directories indicated by pkg-config don't exist:
  /usr/include/xfce4/xfc-4.3
  /usr/lib/xfce4/xfc-4.3/include
  /usr/lib/xfce4/xfc/include

So there seems to be a problem with the current xfc dev packages:
  libxfccore-dev
  libxfcglade-dev
  libxfcsourceview-dev
  libxfcui-dev
or did I miss something here ?

Cheers,

Hmm, strange ... I have this in the xfcui package :

dpkg -c libxfcui-dev_4.3.2_i386.deb  | grep table.hh
./usr/include/xfce4/xfc/atk/table.hh
./usr/include/xfce4/xfc/gtk/celleditable.hh
./usr/include/xfce4/xfc/gtk/editable.hh
./usr/include/xfce4/xfc/gtk/table.hh
./usr/include/xfce4/xfc/gtk/treesortable.hh

Hmm, that is really the xfcui.pc file that is wrong, think I need a bit
more automake dancing :-) ...

I will try to fix it this evening and let you know then new packages are
uploaded.

No, this looks just right !

Again, thanks for your time, hope we will end up with some nice mature
debian packages, and a more up to date XFC (GTK+ 2.10 printing and Xfce4
support).

Ok, the repos is updated please update/upgrade, and let me know how this
works out for you.

Bo,

It doesn't work :o( ... but we're almost there! ;-)

The directive that fails is for instance:
#include <xfc/gtk/table.hh>

which is correct according to the documentation:
http://xfc.xfce.org/docs/reference/html/classXfc_1_1Gtk_1_1Table.html

Replacing "-I/usr/include/xfce4/xfc" by "-I/usr/include/xfce4/" in the
compilation line makes it work.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,

I found the reason why it keeps working here but not for you. I tested
it on a project i have locally that uses xfcglade too, and that worked
as xfcglade, did the right thing.

New debian package set released (4.3.2-2), on day this may work for you
too :-)

Yeps, I just need to make the make system produce this exactly, so this
will work as expected.

Hi Bo,

Now it's working fine. Thank you!

Please let me know when the packages are in sid or testing.

Sylvain.

Hmm, I think I have to be an official debian maintainer, and this I am
not sure will happened anytime sure ... but who knows :-)

But as for now I will try to keep my debian repos updated, as I like to
use them myself too.

Thanks for your input !

Hi Bo,
im a user and parttime dev of vectorlinux.  i will try to make packages for VL.
i had attempted in the past, but not much success.

but if the packages you have already work, i wont need to make them again:)
so did you use any scripts? can you share the versions of compliers and the compile flags etc..
what are the dependencies?

thank you very much
cheers

I hope this workes out better now.

Nope if VectorLinux is deb based, it should be strait forward.

I don't quite follow you on this one, the debian packages has some
dependencies as expected, and the architecture are related to the
platform you building upon.

Hope this helps ...

Hi Bo,

VectorLinux is based on slackware .

did you use any scripts to make the packages? like checkinstall

i will try to convert the deb packages to tgz packages and see if it works as it is. [ for some packages it does] 
but to build native slack packages [ or VL packages ] it is better to start from source.

thanks
cheers

Hi Sriram,

The tool 'alien' might do this for you?
I've never used it myself, though. According to its man page, to convert
an 'alien' (non-rpm) package to a .tgz:

% alien --to-tgz [options] file [...]

Cheers,
Sylvain.

Sorry about my ignorance, but now I know :-)

Hmm, I quess automake/conf is all you need, I use automake1.9 here, and
of cause GTK2+ 2.8 dev files and above.

Like the debian "alien" converter ... at the moment there is noting
fancy, and the make scripts are relatively simple (I can read them :-)).

Ok, I wish you good luck ...
