Subject: Re: Gtk2: make install doesn't work - msg#00048

Jörn,

I suspect Makefile.PL/MANIFEST etc needs updating,
it quickly break between releases. Usually you see the
errors if you do a "make dist"and then use the produced
container to do a clean "make && make test && make install"

Hi,
I'm using the Gtk2 CVS repository, with Debian sid and Inline 0.44-2. Until now I ommitted "make install" and added a correspondent library path to my app. Today I tried "make install", but with no success.
According to the INSTALL file, I executed "perl Makefile.PL && make && make install".
First, only Gtk2.so is installed, no .pm files. I found the shell script
"build-blib.sh" which copies the .pm files to blib/. Then, "make install" installes the .pm's.
But it still doesn't work:
% perl
use Gtk2;
Inline assumes 'Gtk2/src/Gtk2.c' is a filename, and that file does not exist.

In the build directory it works, make test doesn't report any problem.
What I'm doing wrong?
Another issue regarding the build process: first I did a "cvs update" and executed "perl Makefile.PL && make && make test". Some files were compiled, most non-changed versions not (which is good, because compilation take a lot of time ;). But "make test" complained about some
internal version mismatches (sorry can't remember the error messages more exactly), so need to use a fresh checkout.
What's the best way to rebuild Gtk2 after a "cvs update" without compiling the whole stuff again?
Thanks,
Joern
