Hi all


After detecting that evince 3.34.1 does not build with the required depencies, I digged  in a bit more and found  out the following:

As both  GNONE  and gentoo recommed appstream-glib as solution, I found out that:

/usr/share/gettext/its/appdata.loc
/usr/share/gettext/its/appdata.its

are responsible.

Does  anybody know which  package installs these files in BLFS?

I do not have either of those files.  I was able to rebuild evince.  I don't know why you need them, but I do not.


I don't know either, I just know that after installing those, evince built and ran fine.

I guess they contain some stuff which is also present in files installed by some other packages. I'm totally no expert in itstool or gettext, and that's where the error is coming from.

However, I'm quite certain that the page for evince 3.34.1 is now wrong, as both GNOME and gentoo agree that this error only goes away after installing something that is currently not listed as a required dependency of evince in BLFS. See here:

https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evince/issues/1260

https://bugs.gentoo.org/683756

I really don't want to be a pain in the ass, but it really seems that evince won't build with what's described in current BLFS SVN.


Bye
Tim
