I build the gnome-3-8 branch of gobject-introspection for RHEL 6.4 too, but I use jhbuild. This version of g-i is used to bootstrap the gnome-ostree build system which does continuous integration of g-i master inside a chroot. > , I realized this is very old, so I have installed a few hundres > packages in the /usr/local/ Broadly speaking, I'm only going to support "well known" build systems. These include: rpm (mock), dpkg (pbuilder), OpenEmbedded, jhbuild, gnome-ostree. I know g-i builds in all of the above. If you're making up your own build system, the onus is on you to figure out the delta between your own system and one of the above. I assume we're talking about https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=704290 ? In that case, it looks to me like the g-i configure step is not picking up the right glib. This is where systems like jhbuild and mock/pbuilder are more correct - the former contains a "canonical" set of environment variable overrides. The mock/pbuilder approaches (as well as gnome-ostree) always create pristine build roots, so they largely avoid host contamination issues like this. _______________________________________________ gtk-devel-list mailing list gtk-devel-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-devel-list
