I'm trying to get up and running developing GNOME applets with Python and
am having problems building in support for gnome.applet, which doesn't
actually get built.
In short, I think I'm missing libraries and am wondering if anybody knows
which package I should install.
I'm compiling gnome-python-1.4.1 on an unstable Debian box, with the
Ximian GNOME Debian packages and built python 2.1 from source. I'm not
convinced it's a Ximian packaging problem as I scoured the ftp.gnome.org
sources directory for packages that look related and didn't find anything.
Here is a snippet of output from a fresh run of gnome-python's ./configure
that illustrates the problem:
checking for GTK - version >= 1.2.6... yes
checking for imlib-config... /usr/bin/imlib-config
checking for IMLIB - version >= 1.8.2... yes
checking for gnome-config... /usr/bin/gnome-config
checking if /usr/bin/gnome-config works... yes
checking for orbit-config... /usr/bin/orbit-config
checking for orbit-idl... /usr/bin/orbit-idl
checking for working ORBit environment... yes
checking for gnorba libraries... yes
checking extra library "applets"... Unknown library `applets'
checking extra library "capplet"... -rdynamic -lcapplet -lgnomeui
-lart_lgpl -lgdk_imlib -lSM -lICE -lgtk -lgdk -lgmodule -lXi -lXext -lX11
-lgnome -lgnomesupport -lesd -laudiofile -ldb -ldl -lORBitCosNaming
-lORBit -lIIOP -lORBitutil -lglib -lm -lgnorba
checking for libglade-config... /usr/bin/libglade-config
checking for libglade... yes
I've been unable to find any GNOME applet library anywhere, much to my
frustration! The capplet stuff is there, but I don't think that's related.
Can anybody point me in the right direction? All the non-applet
pygnome/examples/ run fine. Any pointers would be much appreciated.
