AVAHI

[teqmo]

Does anyone know of a simple way to fix the QT 3 and 4 bindings and the gtk-+3.0 to get this configured. thanks everyone! slackware will do it but this build will not

[schlawi54]

I can not get your problem. Avahi worked fine for me, at least in Salix 13.0.

I can not get your problem. Avahi worked fine for me, at least in Salix 13.0.

And I fail to see how this can help answer the original question.
If you don't know, please don't post. Someone more knowledgeable eventually will. Tx.

The problem is that it's not at all clear what the original question is.

[teqmo]

Sorry I was unclear.
I cannot get avahi installed, and assumed that it would not install by default because its not in package management system slapt-get.

when I do a ./configure it says that its missing qt when I ignore qt-mt it wants gtk.

[schlawi54]

I am still trying to get your question right. So, you would like to have avahi only in cli-mode?
If you disable both qt and gtk, it will not be possible to use the desktop browser and in all desktop applications the provided avahi support.
Have you tried the configure switches?

Code: Select all

./configure --help

trying to install avahi with salix kde 13.1 cli or graphic mode don't care.

./configure does not work its missing the bindings for qt-mt or gtk

configure: error: Package requirements ( qt-mt >= 3.0.0 ) were not met:
No package 'qt-mt' 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 QT3_CFLAGS
and QT3_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details


cannot get slapt-get -i avahi shows no such package

slapt-get --search avahi shows nothing

Maybe you could try with slapt-src (install it first if not on your system). It uses slackbuilds from slackbuilds.org if no slkbuild are available.

Code: Select all

slapt-src -u
slapt-src -i avahi

It will first ask you to create an avahi user and group if not done yet.
It will also halt in case of a missing dependencies, but hopefully in a less obscure way. Simply install the eventual reported missing dependencies with slapt-get or slapt-src and resume afterward.

You have already been told what to do. Run

Code: Select all

./configure --help

as schlawi54 posted. You will see a lot of options that you can pass to configure. Your problem is that avahi is searching for qt3 and qt3 is no longer available, as it has been replaced by qt4. So you need to disable that. Similarly, gtk3 is not yet available and you need to disable that too.
