Emerging Gnome 2.10.1

Posted on June 22, 2005

I've updated Gnome 2.8 to 2.10 on two other boxes. The third box (which may have had lots of unstable packages on it) is complaining. When I `emerge gnome`, gnome-games fails with:

game.o(.text+0xa19): In function `bj_game_ensure_config_dir_exists(char const*)':
: undefined reference to `g_mkdir(char const*, int)'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

!!! If you need support, post the topmost build error, NOT this status message.

It's insane because I really don't want gnome-games but it's a dependancy. Working through it ... will post progress...

Emerging single packages seems to work, I wonder if g_mkdir is in a header I don't have somewhere ...

I emerged a set of packages (one and two at a time) out of the `emerge -pv gnome` dependancy list and I got past gnome-games. Must have been a libray somewhere. I will post the history of packages I emerged. I am 3 packages into `emerge gnome`, past the games. Must be working. Very close to getting 2.10 working on this machine. :)
