Installing GFreenect (or GObject Introspection)

[ZuLuuuuuu]

Hello,

My system is Salix 13.37, 64-Bit, Xfce. I was trying to install GFreenect (https://github.com/elima/GFreenect) but it needs gobject-introspection, which I couldn't find via Gslapt so tried to compile from sources. And gobject-introspection gives this error on ./configure stage:

Code: Select all

Requested 'glib-2.0 >= 2.29.7' but version of GLib is 2.28.6

Would downloading and compiling latest glib from sources broke the system? Any other suggestions? What can I do to install GFreenect? Maybe installing Salix 14.0 Alpha?

I don't think it will really break anything to upgrade glib2 yourself. You can try. Salix 14.0 will come with all the newer glib and gobject-introspection in any case (they're already there in the alpha).

You can get object-introspection (ver 0.6.10) via sourcery / slapt-src. gobject-introspection needs libffi so you will need to install it via sourcery/ slapt-src first

Code: Select all

slapt-src --update
slapt-src --i libffi
slapt-src -i gobject-introspection
