"argument 2" turns out to be the compiler define VERSION, which is 0.31. However, argument 2 to gnome_program_init() is a const char * VERSION is defined twice in config.h, on line3 and at the end. it is defined as a decimal number not a string. This can be temporarily fixed by enclosing the number in quotes but it doesn't fix the problem permanently because config.h is regenerated by the autogen/configure scripts. Also, there should only be one definition of VERSION. Now, build gets further but fails with "make: No rule to make target Gnome_CupsManager.server" This seems to be a problem caused by the Capitalisation of the name. It is created by a reference to Gnome_CupsManager.server.in and then assigned to server_DATA which has the '.in' stripped off the end and is assigned to server_Data, which is later assigned to DATA, which is then used as a compilation target and fails in gnome-cups-manager/Makefile with 'no build target', but the Capitalised version doesn't exist: gnome-cups-manager/Makefile.am:63: server_in_files = Gnome_CupsManager.server.in server_DATA = $(server_in_files:.server.in=.server) gnome-cups-manager/Makefile.in DATA = $(cupsmanagerdata_DATA) $(gnomecupsmanager_DATA) $(server_DATA) all-am: Makefile $(PROGRAMS) $(DATA) There is another reference that seems to need fixing up: po/POTFILES.in:9: gnome-cups-manager/Gnome_CupsManager.server.in It seems the solution for these is to lower-case both initial entries and rename the file to an all-lowercase name. After all this it seems suspicious that this build should fail for me from a clean install when I assume the same source package is used to build the binaries in the repositories. -- Building gnome-cups-manager source fails https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/116947 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
