I downloaded the latest version using ..
git clone git://git.geda-project.org/pcb.git
All seemed to go OK, and all the required tools (gcc, automake,etc) are all
present.
The ,/autogen.sh ran OK and made the configure file.
Then I encountered the first stumble while running ,/configure.
It is about DBUS.
-----------------------------------
checking for whether to use DBUS... yes
checking for DBUS... no
configure: error: Cannot find dbus-1 >= 0.61, install it and rerun
./configure
Please review the following errors:
No package 'dbus-1' found
------------------------------------
I this Linux Mint, it uses the Ubuntu (Xenial).
The package is called "dbus", not "dbus-1" although there are references to
"dbus-1-debug" and dbus-1-doc".
I checked ..
--------------------------------------
graham # apt-get install dbus
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
dbus is already the newest version (1.10.6-1ubuntu3.3).
----------------------------------------
So we do have DBUS installed OK - it came with the distro automatically
installed.
Unfortunately, configure looks for dbus-1.
I an a application user, not a programmer.
I would not usually meddle with automatically generated scripts, but might
it be something as easy as replacing all references "dbus-1" with "dbus" in
the configure script?
Maybe I will try it anyway. It might make a mess, but I can start over if
it does.
Regards
Graham
