ogle/libglade compile problem

[kevinalm]

I'm trying to compile the ogle gui frontend for the ogle dvd player. I got the cli player working but I have run into a dependancy problem for the gui. libglade developement is required. I'm not sure what to download and compile. (I run a source based distro.) I downloaded and installed libglade-2.6.0 (think that's the version number) but that doesn't do it. Does anyone know offhand if there is a different package (tarball) for libglade developement. The link on the ogle website is just a link to the gnome homepage, and all I can find there is the package I downloaded. Thanks.

You may find that you had to compile libglade before you compiled ogle. I believe that mplayer is similiar, if you want a GUI you have to include it arguments for it when you run ./configure. Have a double check of the readme or faq's to see if this is the case.

I'll have another look at the docs and configure options, but as I understand it the cli is stand alone and the gui a separate component. There exist other gui's for ogle cli as well, kde and gnome based iirc. But I'm building on a fluxbox system and am going more for better performance. Tried mplayer on another partition (same hardware) and it left a lot to be desired. Ogle from the cli works very nice. What's odd is that I did compile libglade first. But configure of the ogle_gui package complains about libglade "developement" not being found and specifically a file (I presume an executable) libglade-config. This does not exist on my system. So I suspect there is a separate package other than the standard libglade that is needed. I thought most libs in tarball form included the dev stuff, libglade must be the exception. Maybe libglade needs special config options, I'll have to look into that.

You'll probably want libglade-devel then, all I can see from this google, havent had a good look though it, are rpms.

Already tried googling. Here's the thing. RPM distro's often split libs into the lib and the devel part, ie libglade and libglade-devel. But for most libraries when you download, compile and install the tarball (libglade-<version>-tar-bz2) you get both. Apparently this isn't true for libglade, but there doesn't seem to be a libglade-devel tarball. Everything I've found googling for libglade-devel is about rpm's.

Update! Found solution in a mailing list archive. ogle_gui needs to be configured with --enable-gtk2 for current versions of libglade. I thought I'd post here so others might find the answer easier.
