I`ve allready asked a question connected with my problem, but the recived
answer didn`t help me :(
Just to remind you, I can`t build omni on my slackware linux distribution.
With different versions of omni, i receved different error messages during
building process, but I have a general conclusion for that.
I think dependences are problem. In doc/Building file are listed packages that
are needed by omni, but there are problems. At first, doc/Building isn`t
updated for a long time, so, recomended verions of software (and recomended
url-s) aren`t valid. The other problem are packages that are avaible only in
rpm format (or I didn`t search the rigth places). For example, libxml-devel
isn`t avaible in tarball like libxml is (i have looked at ftp.xmlsoft.org and
also at ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources), gtkmm-devel also. On
slackware, there are two wayes to install rpm packages. I have tried both,
and I didn`t get positive results. rpm program for slackware faild
dependences check (dependences were OK but it searched at the wrong place)
and rpm2tgz gave me the packages that I`ve smoothly installed (that was
expected since slackware`s pkgtool don`t check dependences) but it seems that
it put files at the wrong place since .setupOmni (obviously) couldn`t find
them.
If anyone of you have exepieces in i building omni on slackware linux (or some
similar distribution) or just have an idea what I am supposed to do, I`ll be
very very thankful if he would share that with me. I know it is possible,
since i have successfully buided it 7-8 months ago on a similar system (but I
dodn`t remember how)...
Thankfuly
Ilic Darko
