That's the problem.  I don't know how you managed to get passed the configure
test for libIDL if you dont' have it installed.  Can you provide a log of the
configure run as well as config.log?

Ok, that's odd.  You're trying to build against gtk2 but it can't find libIDL 2
so it falls back to looking for libIDL 1 except that it skips the libIDL check
and  find the wrong orbit-config instead.  Blizzard, why do we even bother
falling back to libIDL-1 for a gtk2 build?

Comment 7

[hacker formerly known as [e-mail]]

That setup still seems odd.   What is /usr/lib/libIDL.so symlinked to?  What
does /usr/lib/pkgconfig/libIDL.pc think its version is?  The libIDL 2 header
seems to be there but not the libs? (I don't use gtk2 so I have no idea what the
libIDL-2 libs are versioned as.)

compiles and runs after installing libIDL-0.8.0 from source

thanks!

Fix fallback checks

Blizzard, is there any problem with using libIDL-1 when building against gtk2
(keeping in mind that libIDL is just used for xpidl)?  Should we make the
failure to find libIDL-2 a fatal error?

Comment 12

[Christopher Blizzard (:blizzard)]

I think the sun folks did that work, so I don't remember why it should fall back.

Comment 13

[Christopher Blizzard (:blizzard)]

Oh, I think the idea was that the sun folks wanted to be able to build in an
environment without gtk1.2 installed.

Comment 14

[Robin Lu]

It might due to bug 156593

Comment 15

[hacker formerly known as [e-mail]]

Of course, libIDL has nothing to do with gtk1.2 but I'm not getting into that
again.  Do we want to support building with gtk2 and libIDL-1 or do we want to
force the use of libIDL-2 when building with gtk2 ?

Comment 16

[Christopher Blizzard (:blizzard)]

It's up to you.  There's no run-time dependency for the browser, just for the
utilities that do IDL -> header file conversions at build time.

Comment 17

[hacker formerly known as [e-mail]]

Patch has been checked in.

Comment 18

[Felix Miata]

Has anyone who knows what they're doing tested this? I've never built before. I
still haven't successfully, as, using today's
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/nightly/latest-trunk/mozilla-source.tar.gz I
get the error:

     The libIDL-config script installed by libIDL could not be found . . .

This is the same error I got on Friday, before the fix to this bug landed.

In /usr/lib I found only libIDL-config-2, no /usr/lib/libIDL-config. I symlinked
the latter to the former, but the build failed with:

     Could not run libIDL test program . . .

[hacker formerly known as [e-mail]]

You only have libIDL-2 installed.  Given that you neglected to provide the
configure options you used, I'm going to assume that you're attempting to build
against gtk (the default) so the test failed since gtk1 builds requires libIDL1.
