Build Familiar Gpe-image Failed With Gconf_dbus

[sidliu]

I tried to build Familiar 0.8.4 which uses Open Embedded. But it gaves the following error when trying to build gpe-image. Anyone knows how to fix this? Thanks.

Look at that log file which is mentioned in the output whether it gives you more hints.

Check whether dbus has been built. Nearbye, Angstrom (built using 'the real' OpenEmbedded) may be a better choice.

The do_configure log shows the same error message.

checking dynamic linker characteristics... GNU/Linux ld.so
checking how to hardcode library paths into programs... immediate
checking whether stripping libraries is possible... yes FYI:  Using default config source xml::${sysconfdir}/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults for schema installation FYI:  Will build with debug checks but no debug spew
checking for gtkdoc-mkdb... false
checking for db2html... false
checking for GCONF_DBUS... configure: error: You need either ORBit or D-BUS for IPC
FATAL: oe_runconf failed

dbus seems to build prior to gconf-dbus without errors.

Groucho referred to config.log in the source directory of gconf-dbus. You may look there for more information why this particular autoconf test has been failed. Again, I advise using upstream OpenEmbedded instead of the forked and outdated Familiar version...
