Thread: Cannot build xfce, library resolution errors

i'm having trouble building number of different xfce packages, assume solution similar packages share 1 @ moment. , seems libgtk , libgdk being passed call libtool. ideas?

when building xfwm4-4.10.0 4.10 release following:

code:

make  all-recursive  make[1]: entering directory `/home/user/temp/xfce/src/xfwm4-4.10.0'  making in defaults  make[2]: entering directory `/home/user/temp/xfce/src/xfwm4-4.10.0/defaults'  make[2]: nothing done `all'.  make[2]: leaving directory `/home/user/temp/xfce/src/xfwm4-4.10.0/defaults'  making in helper-dialog  make[2]: entering directory `/home/user/temp/xfce/src/xfwm4-4.10.0/helper-dialog'    cc     helper_dialog-helper-dialog.o    ccld   helper-dialog  /usr/bin/ld.bfd.real: helper_dialog-helper-dialog.o: undefined reference symbol 'gdk_error_trap_pop'  /usr/bin/ld.bfd.real: note: 'gdk_error_trap_pop' defined in dso /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0 try adding linker command line  /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0: not read symbols: invalid operation  collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status  make[2]: *** [helper-dialog] error 1  make[2]: leaving directory `/home/user/temp/xfce/src/xfwm4-4.10.0/helper-dialog'  make[1]: *** [all-recursive] error 1  make[1]: leaving directory `/home/user/temp/xfce/src/xfwm4-4.10.0'  make: *** [all] error 2

are building on 12.10?

i've successfullly built xfce git number of times on 12.10. followed build instructions here: http://docs.xfce.org/xfce/building. can confirm have of dependencies installed? there suggested order buidling (see linked document).

in addition, ran few gotchas building xfce - i'll see if can find notes. involved thunar , exo libraries.

out of curiosity, reason why aren't installing packages ppa opposed buidling source? much, easier. saves on coffee , sleep
