I fail to compile on debian 7.3

Log please.

I don't know why prpltwtr should depend on gstreamer.

[mikeage]

Also, I see you complained about the same thing with a much earlier version of prpltwtr: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=714928

[mikeage]

gobject is a valid dependency, but I'd like to see a FULL LOG, containing ./configure and make.

Like the debian maintainer said, /usr/lib should not contain .la files at all; did you ever compile anything and put it there? You should have just .a and .so files in /usr/lib

It works for me for Ubuntu 12.04 and Ubuntu 13.10, so I'm assuming Debian 7.2 ought to be similar...

[mikeage]

I'm a bit confused; are you saying it works now (since you created a .deb)?

Can this be closed?

[mama21mama]

yes. I had to add new files (*. la)

after that create a *. deb

[mikeage]

Where did you add them? Is it something you think is missing from my code? If so, please submit a pull request.

[mama21mama]

[mikeage]

Where did you get these files from?

It's strange that it needs these; it should be linking with /usr/lib/libgobject-2.0.a (or .so), etc, rather than the .la versions. Do you have these files (i.e., the same 6 files above but with .a and .so extensions instead of .la)?

I don't see anything in the configure or make logs that explains why it's looking for these.

[mikeage]

Also, can you remove these .la files and try the following patch to configure.ac (you'll need to rerun autogen.sh)

diff --git i/configure.ac w/configure.ac index 729f14f..427c959 100644 --- i/configure.ac +++ w/configure.ac @@ -72,6 +72,9 @@ AS_IF([test "x$with_pidgin" != xno],

[mikeage]

Gotcha. Can you let me know (not necessarily now, obviously) if the patch fixes your problem (or at least leaves only one error for libidn; I'm not sure why that one is required)? I think my configure.ac script was actually missing these lines, and I just happened to get lucky and have the packages.

Do you have glib-dev and libxml2-dev installed?

[mama21mama]

libxml2-dev installed glib-dev = libglib2.0-dev installed (debian 7.3)

I keep throwing same error. debian 7.3 with the patch included

[mikeage]

Interesting. I see no reason why it should be looking for the .la; I'll try to check if it's a known Debian issue. It certainly doesn't seem to be an issue with configure / makefile.

[mikeage]

A little bit of Googling suggests that sometimes one .la that shouldn't exist is what leads to the others. Can you try grepping for these .la files within the prpltwtr directory, and seeing why they're being used (instead of the .a / .so versions)

@mikeage you saved me in a similar context with a totally unrelated project. If you are still reading this, thank you very much! :smiley:
