libgsf-1.14.21 needs a correction

[Arthur Radley]

The --sysconfdir configure option for libgsf needs to be updated to the current Gnome version, or maybe changed to use the GNOME_SYSCONFDIR environment variable, or maybe even changed to /etc since that is what GConf is using now.

GConf will switch back to GNOME_SYSCONFDIR when I finish all of the gnome. I just need new strategy to plan this out. As for the libgsf, there is new version, 1.4.23 - but it does not have -gnome nor gconf files. I was going to ask someone to check if that one works for the abiword/gnumeric/gnucash or whatever needs those libraries.

libgsf-1.14.23 fails to compile for me due to gobject-introspection brokeness:

CC gsf-output-gio.lo CC version.lo CCLD libgsf-1.la GEN Gsf-1.gir

This sed (before configure) fixes it and alows it to install: sed -i '/-I$(top_srcdir)
/a
t -I/usr/include/libxml2
' gsf/Makefile.in

I've not tested it with anything yet.

I'll try that again with some formatting.

Sorry for the noise (It would help If We could edit our comments)

Something is definitely wrong with your system. I built that package without any problems with g-i version from the book.

libgsf-1.14.22 compiles and installs fine for me. libgsf-1.14.23 fails with the error above and so you think "Something is definitely wrong with your system"? You may be right, I had installed gobject-introspection-1.30.0. Big mistake.

[Armin K]

Updated libgsf to 1.4.23 and removed --sysconfdir switch since it isn't required anymore. Fixed in r10116
