[Rhythmbox-devel] Error trying to build from master using ./autogen.sh

[Andrew Headrick]

Hi,

I checked out from master this morning and am trying to follow the build
instructions on
https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Rhythmbox/FAQ#Development_information.

I'm using building on fedora 23.

I'm getting the following error running ./autogen.sh

➜ rhythmbox git:(andy) ✗ ./autogen.sh

I searched google and bugzilla and all i found was a reference that glib
needed to be installed and it is.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Andrew

p.s. Apologies if this shows up in the list twice. I submitted it once
before I joined the list like a dummy.

Hi Andrew,

I haven't touched rb in a little while, but I'm on fedora, too, and I think
what you want is the gobject-introspection-devel package.

There will be other requirements to install after that, but you will
probably have an easier time mapping error messages to packages for those.

Happy hacking!

Thanks Matt,

That fixed my issue and I'm now on to new errors! Thanks. That devel
package pulls in glib2-devel which I believe solved the issue.

Thanks a bunch. I'll keep banging.

"dnf build rhythmbox" should pull in most of the needed dependencies for
you.
