1198557 - mozboot bootstrap for Fedora doesn't install gtk3-devel

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Firefox Build System :: General, defect)

Description

[Brion Vibber]

Using the bootstrap script documented at https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Developer_guide/Build_Instructions/Linux_Prerequisites to set up a build environment on Fedora 23 alpha, the build is unable to function because gtk3-devel is not installed.

The bootstrap script appears to still be installing gtk2-devel, and needs updating since the move to GTK+ 3.

Need to add:
* gtk3-devel
* dbus-glib-devel

Comment 2

[Mike Hommey [:glandium]]

gtk3-devel is supposed to be installed by the GNOME Software Development group.

Well, it's apparently not. :)

Let me retest on a fresh install...

Comment 5

[Brion Vibber]

Ok I had some kind of package conflict, probably from installing very early Fedora alpha packages and not syncing properly. On a freshly installed, updated copy of Fedora 23 alpha I can see the bootstrap script successfully installing gtk3-devel.

Closing -- thanks for the sanity check!
