[sigrok-devel] Missing glib-2.0 while building sigrok

SourceForge Headquarters 1320 Columbia Street Suite 310 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 422-6466

Hi,

I switched to Ubuntu and tried to build sigrok as described here:
https://sigrok.org/wiki/Building

I thaught I installed the prerequisites with "apt install", but I get an
error:

 [many lines omitted]
 checking for jni.h... no
 checking for LIBSIGROK... no
 configure: error: Package requirements (glib-2.0 >= 2.32.0
libserialport >= 0.1.1 libzip >= 0.10) were not met:

 No package 'glib-2.0' found

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

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

So I tried to get the missing glib-2.0 package. apt selected some
packages, but I can't say if it actually install anything:

 helge@Walrus:~/sigrok/sigrok-util/cross-compile/linux$ sudo apt install
glib-2.0

My Linux experience is very dated and I don't know what I have to do
here to get a running environment.

Best regards,
