Building on archlinux

[Simon Lenz]

Hello,

I'm trying to contribute some code to the gramps-project.
In order to test my changes, I followed this wiki-page.
http://www.gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php?title=Running_a_development_version_of_Gramps

But i receive an error while doing "./autogen.sh":
checking Python bindings for gtk 2.10 (pygtk2>=2.10.0)... configure: error:

**** The python bindings for gtk 2.10 (pygtk2>=2.10.0) could not be found.

Here is the full output of autogen.sh: http://pastebin.com/UxLMv9D3

The package pygtk (version 2.24.0-3) is installed on my system and
something like pygtk-dev or -devel doesn't exist in the repository:
http://www.archlinux.org/packages/?sort=&q=pygtk&maintainer=&last_update=&flagged=&limit=50

Do you have any suggestions, what is missing or could go wrong?

I running Archlinux.
If you need further information, please feel free to ask!

regards,
Simon

Hi,
please post to list or at least cc to list!

Gramps by default use pybsddb (one included in python), Arch only have
pybsdb3 (one developed outside python).
To enable that just change one line in src/config.py, see diffs

Index: src/config.py
===================================================================
--- src/config.py (revision 19282)
+++ src/config.py (working copy)
@@ -292,7 +292,7 @@
 register('preferences.use-last-view', True)
 register('preferences.last-view', '')
 register('preferences.last-views', [])
-register('preferences.use-bsddb3', False)
+register('preferences.use-bsddb3', True)

 register('researcher.researcher-addr', '')
 register('researcher.researcher-locality', '')


When building from source stuff already packaged by Arch if you don't
want to use ours source package then at least have look at how we did it ;-)

Let me further explain things.
Arch early adopted python3 as their main python instead python2 (good
decision i think; if small rolling-release distro can pull such thing
then everybody can :-))
However it was probably considered to be too early by other more
conservative distros so nobody newer asked Gramps to change their python
macro and configure script can be pointed to right one anyway.

Same thing with BDB, when pybsddb start having problem with newer
version we had to replace it with pybsddb3.
Gramps start support it when other mainstream distros begin to use it
also, but only as nondefault options.

I use Arch and love Arch!

Hey,

I'm sorry for that. The google-mail webapp really isn't made for mailing-lists;)

Thanks for your explanation about the "why".
So I should have looked in the packagebuild of the archlinux-gramps package?
https://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit/community.git/tree/trunk/PKGBUILD?h=packages/gramps
And surprise..: Everything you have told me is in there...:D

For the future I'll keep that in mind!

And with changing the mentioned line to "True" gramps is starting now:)

regards,
Simon
