I am working through a port of open-vm-tools for SCO
OpenServer 6.0.0 starting with the 2011.04-402641 source release
and encountered the following:
--enable-unity is the default (although I specifically used the
option when running configure.
Unity will be disabled by the configure script if:
- no X11
- no Gtk2
- --disable-multimon
and the configure script cautions the user to use "--disable-unity"
if:
- libXss or headers are not found
- an adequate version of uriparser is not found
- libpng is not found
- zlib library is not found
- Glib/GIO 2.24+ is not available
- missing gdk_pixbuf_xlib_2.0
I caught the statement in NEWS that Glib 2.24 or later is required
and also the older statement that open-vm-tools will compile on
Solaris if --without-gtkmm is used.
... so I tried to configure with:
--enable-unity
--without-gtkmm
However, ./services/plugins/unity/ghIntegration/platform.cc
fails to compile without glibmm, gtkmm and sigc++ installed.
ghIntegration/platform.cc:48:19: error: gtkmm.h: No such file or
directory
ghIntegration/platform.cc:49:20: error: glibmm.h: No such file or
directory
ghIntegration/platform.cc:50:19: error: giomm.h: No such file or directory
ghIntegration/platform.cc:53:27: error: sigc++/sigc++.h: No such file or
directory
Questions:
1. Is it a bug that configure did not check for the presence
of glibmm, gtkmm and sigc++ ?
- or -
Should I have not attempted to build the unity plugin?
I saw no way that a Solaris build would have bypassed the
Unity plugin build - with or without the --without-gtkmm
2. Is there a comprehensive list of the open-source packages
that are required for the various features of open-vm-tools?
Thanks in advance for any information that you can share
