*** No rule to make target 'libgtksheet-4.0.la', needed by 'testgtksheet'. #36

This seems like a missed Makefile rule, however I cannot find out how .la files are properly generated by libtool, only that it is libtool that supposed to generate them.

Can someone more familiar with the build system help?

fpaquet commented 3 years ago

What platform are you using? Did you run configure script? Can you post output of configure script?

Xliff commented 3 years ago

I am on Linux.

Here is the output from ./configure:

./configure
configure: error: cannot find install-sh, install.sh, or shtool in build-aux "."/build-aux

Looks as if some build tools are missing on your Linux. Try running "autoreconf -f -i" before "configure"

I came across this error as well, the first time I ran autoconf -i I didn't have the gtk3-dev dependencies installed. I needed to rerun autoreconf -f -i after having all the dependencies installed.

fpaquet commented 2 years ago

We cannot eliminate the need to run 'autoreconf -f -i' because different os have different build environments installed on their systems.

Thank you for feedback.
