F-Spot 0.4.4 and gio-sharp

30 May, 2008 (14:54) | General

Recent F-Spot 0.4.4 introduced a dependency on gtk-sharp-2.12-2, due to changes in GNOME 2.22 which caused the CDExport not to work anymore.
Some people are having problems compiling the latest F-Spot due to this missing package.

Ubuntu Hardy users can add RubenV’s PPA repository and install the latest gtk-sharp2.

OpenSuSE users can find updated gtk-sharp2 either in BuildService or in Factory distribution.

Debian users can find the required package both in testing and in unstable.

f-spot 0.4.4 depends on gtk-sharp-2.12.1, not 2.12.2. gtk-sharp-2.12.2 is, at this time, yet unreleased but, at the time you get it, you’ll have hot theme-switching for free.

and f-spot 0.4.4 depends on gtk-sharp 2.12.1 ONLY IF you’re running gnome 2.22

I still run into issues, even after installing the latest gtk-sharp2 from Ruben’s repository. When running ./configure, I run into issues with gio-sharp. The final lines during ./configure are:

=== configuring in gio-sharp (/home/dan/Desktop/f-spot-0.4.4/gio-sharp)

There is an Ubuntu Forums thread regarding this. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=821368
I have Ubuntu 8.04, running on an AMD64.

[...] for Hardy is 2.12.0 and F-spot expects it to be 2.12.1 or higher. Thankfully, following this F-blog post I found Ruben Vermeersch’s repository with the needed gtk-sharp binaries ready to go. [...]
