[sugar] Build failure of dbus-glib

[Robin Norwood]

Hi,

Got an error:

*** error during stage build of dbus-glib: ########## Error running make   *** [19/29]

Looks like expat-devel is required:

 gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -I.. -I.. -I/home/rnorwood/git/sugar-jhbuild/build/include/dbus-1.0 -I/home/rnorwood/git/sugar-jhbuild/build/lib/dbus-1.0/include -I/home/rnorwood/git/sugar-jhbuild/build/include/glib-2.0 -I/home/rnorwood/git/sugar-jhbuild/build/lib/glib-2.0/include -I/home/rnorwood/git/sugar-jhbuild/build/include/libxml2 -DDBUS_COMPILATION=1 -DDBUS_LOCALEDIR=\"/home/rnorwood/git/sugar-jhbuild/build/share/locale\" -DDBUS_API_SUBJECT_TO_CHANGE=1 -g -O2 -Wall -Wchar-subscripts -Wmissing-declarations -Wmissing-prototypes -Wnested-externs -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wfloat-equal -Wsign-compare -MT dbus-gloader-expat.lo -MD -MP -MF .deps/dbus-gloader-expat.Tpo -c dbus-gloader-expat.c  -fPIC -DPIC -o .libs/dbus-gloader-expat.o

dbus-gloader-expat.c:40: error: expected '=', ',', ';', 'asm' or '__attribute__' before 'memsuite'


doing a 'yum install expat-devel' and selecting '[1] rerun stage build'
gets past that error, but I get another that isn't so clear:

gcc -g -O2 -Wall -Wchar-subscripts -Wmissing-declarations -Wmissing-prototypes -Wnested-externs -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wfloat-equal -Wsign-compare -o .libs/test-dbus-glib my-object-marshal.o test-dbus-glib.o  -L/home/rnorwood/git/sugar-jhbuild/build/lib /home/rnorwood/git/sugar-jhbuild/build/lib/libxml2.so -ldl -lz -lm ../../dbus/.libs/libdbus-glib-1.so /home/rnorwood/git/sugar-jhbuild/build/lib/libgobject-2.0.so /home/rnorwood/git/sugar-jhbuild/build/lib/libglib-2.0.so ../../dbus/.libs/libdbus-gtool.a /home/rnorwood/git/sugar-jhbuild/build/lib/libdbus-1.so -lnsl  -Wl,--rpath -Wl,/home/rnorwood/git/sugar-jhbuild/build/lib

(etc.)


Also, are build failures like these helpful to you guys, or just
distractions?
