I would like to try this out, but this GNOME port is a tough one to install. My hope is that somebody will have a few suggestions to get this working. I cvsup(ped) the ports distribution with the ports-supfile on 1/4/99, and this seemed to go OK. Since I spent the better part of a day playing around with this I thought that my discoveries might be of some assistance to the GNOME ports maintainers. Some of the problems I encountered are: The gnomelibs claim the need for tiff-3.4, and the gnomelibs Makefile does contain a line for this dependency. (along with other "LIB_DEPENDS" entries which work OK) "tiff4:${PORTSDIR}/graphics/tiff34" but "ldconfig -r | grep tiff" returns: "107:-ltiff34.1.0 => /usr/local/lib/libtiff34.so.1.0" so the search for tiff fails when the configure script runs. I fixed this with the following hack on the tiff entry: "tiff34:${PORTSDIR}/graphics/tiff34" Another problem was with the "glib11-devel" distribution. This guy somehow installed itself as: "libglib11d.so..2.0" which seemed to cause ldconfig to ignore the library. I just renamed these guys (to remove the double dots) and their associated soft links and then things were OK. "ldconfig -r | grep glib" "33:-lglib11d.2.0 => /usr/local/lib/libglib11d.so.2.0" My efforts finally crashed and burned with "ORBit" which never installed successfully. There is a compile problem in the ORBit naming service area: (making in ORBit/work/ORBit-0.3.91/src/services/name) ... ../../../src/idl-compiler/orbit-idl CosNaming.idl usage: indent file [ outfile ] [ options ] usage: indent file [ outfile ] [ options ] Message: Type IDLN_TYPE_SEQUENCE needs no name Message: Type IDLN_TYPE_SEQUENCE needs no name *** Signal 13 It appears that the idl-compiler tries to create: -rw-r--r-- 1 root 500 0 Jan 5 09:11 CosNaming-common.c -rw-r--r-- 1 root 500 0 Jan 5 09:11 CosNaming.h Which aborted early.
