Daniel, Thanks for your reply. [snip]
I checked that, but it looked pretty much the same as what I saw on the screen.checking Python bindings for GNOME... configure: error: **** The python bindings for GNOME 2.0 (gnome-python2) could not be found.
[snip fink output showing that gnome-python2-py23-2.0.0-11 and python/python23/python23-shlibs/python23-socket-1:2.3.3-23 installed]
Is there a step I missed in making a non-Fink build aware of this? It seems to know about /sw/bin, /sw/lib etc. Is gnome-python2-py23 somewhere else that is not looking?
You can check the config.log file in the directory where you did './configure' to see exactly what test program was run and exactly how it failed. That might give a clue as to what's wrong.
**** The python bindings for GNOME 2.0 (gnome-python2) could not be found.
To just evaluate the program until the fink package got updated, I was hoping a non-fink install might be the easiest approach...on the other hand...
I managed to fake fink into installing 1.0.4 this way. The patch process failed on one hunk, but it was a line that had been moved in the original source. Fixing that one line, re-tarring the source then removing the patch directive from the .info file altogether got it to compile (after updating the md5).
Given that there is already a fink package for some nearby version of this thing, that package description is probably an excellent starting point. For 10.3/gramps-1.0.3, that would be: /sw/fink/dists/unstable/main/finkinfo/database/gramps.info and the gramps.patch in that same location. Use that as a guide while watching what happens when fink builds the package. There may be some patches and/or env vars and/or configure flags needed to customize for OS X and/or fink's library locations.
...so I have a new patch file that should allow the 1.0.4 sources to build using the gramps.info from the 1.0.3 package after changing the name.One approach would be to modify that .info file (or a copy of it; make sure it has the extension ".info"). Start by assuming 1.0.4 will go exactly like 1.0.3, then make changes to fix whatever new issues arise.
Should I do anything with this other than just cc the maintainer (Ben Hines) that I can send it to him if he wants it?
Thanks
--Tim
