0.6.22 fails to build with ulibc?

[jablko]

I run Avahi on my consumer router using the OpenWrt? distribution.

I was unable to build Avahi 0.6.22 for OpenWrt?:

[...] checking for GOBJECT... configure: error: Package requirements ( glib-2.0 >= 2.4 .0 gobject-2.0 ) were not met:

No package 'glib-2.0' found No package 'gobject-2.0' found [...]

I guess this is because OpenWrt? uses ulibc?

Thanks to tedp's advice on #avahi, I did successfully build Avahi 0.6.21 after disabling HAVE_INOTIFY:

(05:10:15 PM) tedp: jablko: those symbols are provided by libc6, usually (05:13:01 PM) tedp: if you have autoconf installed you can put dnl in front of the two blocks of code with HAVE_INOTIFY in configure.ac then re-run autoconf to disable it

This is the OpenWrt? ticket and patch for building Avahi 0.6.21: https://dev.openwrt.org/ticket/2936

What needs to be done to make Avahi 0.6.22 build with ulibc?

Much thanks for maintaining Avahi! Jack

The failure you are experiencing is because you didn't install glib2.0 but enabled support for it in configure. Either install glib/gobject or disable Avahi's support for it via --disable-glib --disable-gobject.
