I'm trying to get pygobject-2.28.6 to compile in cygwin (version in repository is 2.28.4 which has some issues). Here is the tail of ./configure:
checking for GLIB - version >= 2.24.0... yes (version 2.34.3) checking for ffi... checking for FFI... yes checking for GIO... yes checking for GIOUNIX... yes checking for GI... no configure: error: Package requirements (glib-2.0 >= 2.24.0 gobject-introspection-1.0 >= 0.10.2 ) were not met: No package 'gobject-introspection-1.0' found Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you installed software in a non-standard prefix. Alternatively, you may set the environment variables GI_CFLAGS and GI_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config. See the pkg-config man page for more details.
I have gobject-introspection 1.34.2-3 installed. As seen here:
$ whereis gobject-introspection gobject-introspection: /lib/gobject-introspection /usr/lib/gobject-introspection
and here
$ whereis gobject-introspection-1.0 gobject-introspection-1: /usr/share/gobject-introspection-1.0
I've tried setting GI_CFLAGS and GI_LIBS in configure = to /lib/ and /usr/lib/ (and even /usr/share/) but to no avail. What else can I do to try and resolve this? Thank you for your time!
You're probably missing the development package. The package name varies by distribution, but it's the one containing /usr/lib/pkgconfig/gobject-introspection-1.0.pc
(or /usr/lib64/pkgconfig/gobject-introspection-1.0.pc
for some 64-bit distros):
I got this to compile on cygwin. The package you need is: libgirepository1.0-devel
.
In Ubuntu it's called libgirepository1.0-dev
