[Opensync-users] I'm stuck: libopensync vs. msynctool in Debian

[Felix H. <fe...@on...>]

Hi,

as reported earlier, I can't build the current msyctool from SVN. Here's 
further information:

The implicit declaration of 'osync_member_need_config' seems not to be an 
issue with the opensync from SVN (I had been using libopensync0-dev from 
Debian/Sid before).

Unfortunately, msynctool won't build with the SVN version of libopensync 
either. The Here's what I get when I try building msynctool using opensync 
from SVN in the ./configure step:

###########################
checking for pkg-config... /usr/bin/pkg-config
checking pkg-config is at least version 0.9.0... yes
checking for PACKAGE... configure: error: Package requirements (glib-2.0 
opensync-1.0 osengine-1.0) were not met:

Variable 'datarootdir' not defined 
in '/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/opensync-1.0.pc'

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables PACKAGE_CFLAGS
and PACKAGE_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.
###########################

Any idea?

Kind regards,

Felix

I have successfully built the SVN versions of multisync-0.90, opensync, 
file-sync,  gpe and  kdepim on a Debian testing (etch) system.

I did have a similar (although not identical) problem.  I got a similar error 
from ./configure and had to install (using apt-get) pkg-config.  Even after I 
had installed pkg-config I was still getting a similar error which did not go 
away until I re-ran the autogen step.  

If you think you have all the pre-requisites installed you may want to clean 
out the build directory, re-checkout the source and start again, to make sure 
you are not seeing a similar problem.

Hi, and thanks for your response. Which revision have you build? I'm stuck 
with multisync-0.90 (revision 162) and opensync (revision 1031).

pkg-config is (and has been) installed.

Do you mean the 'autoreconf -sfi' step? It doesn't help here.
BTW, which version of autmake are you running (1.9.6 here).

I did so several times. The problem remains. 

On a further note, opensync (1031) will not build as a Debian package using 
the included debian directory. It will throw out a similar error as mentioned 
in my original message. Building it with './configure; make install' is 
successful though. 

Any other suggestions?

Thanks,

Felix

Hmm.  I just cleaned out my opensync directory, refetched from svn and tried 
to build again from scratch.  I have no problems with opensync but 
multisync-0.90 will not configure.  I am sure it worked a few weeks ago!  But 
now I get the following errors:

checking for PACKAGE... configure: error: Package requirements (glib-2.0 
opensync-1.0 osengine-1.0) were not met:
Variable 'datarootdir' not defined 
in '/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/opensync-1.0.pc'

Fortunately the fix is simple... in the top level opensync directory, edit all 
the *.pc.in files to add the following line:

datarootdir=@datarootdir@

Then make and make install.

Now when you configure multisync-0.90 it should work.

Are you building opensync for Debian using the debian/rules?
Then you have to edit the rules file to add a --datadir=\$${prefix}/share.
It should look like this:
build: configure debian/build-stamp
debian/build-stamp:
       dh_testdir
       chmod u+x configure
       chmod u+x py-compile
       [ -d $(BUILD) ] || mkdir $(BUILD)
       cd $(BUILD) && CFLAGS="$(CFLAGS)" 
$(SRC)/configure --host=$(DEB_HOST_GNU_TYPE) \
          --build=$(DEB_BUILD_GNU_TYPE) --prefix=/usr \
          --datadir=\$${prefix}/share \
          --enable-static --enable-python=2.4

if you not building using "debian/rules"  donot forget to use this configure 
option either.
