I've just built my normal desktop (including an ever-increasing amount of gnome) with Python-2.7. I had to change the following packages -
Gobject-introspection: as Andy noted the other month, 0.6 fails. 0.9.3 works fine, but it has a knock-on effect on webkit, which fails near the end of its long build - its trying to process its shipped WebKit/gtk/JSCore-1.0.gir and reports Incompatible version 1.0 (supported: 1.1) The following sed (taken from pld) fixes webkit: sed -i \ -e 's,repository version="1.0",repository version="1.1",' \ WebKit/gtk/JSCore-1.0.gir Strangely, nothing else I built had a similar problem - I thought I was going to have to go back and apply a similar sed in gir-repository (which I need for libsoup for epiphany), but it didn't need it. pygobject-2.20.0 fails. To get round this it's necessary to use a *development* version (2.21.5) where various things have been wrapped to cope with the 2.7 changes. For this reason, I can't recommend 2.7 for the BOOK at this time. Scons-1.2.0, pycairo-1.8.8, and pygtk-2.16.0 were unaffected by the move to 2.7. ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
