Can not compile on Amazon Linux 64b about libvips

[jcupitt]

Hi, sorry for the delay in responding.

You can make this a bit simpler: get the sources from git and make a distribution tarball on your development machine, then configure and build that on your production machine. git sources -> dev tarball needs quite a few packages, such as swig and gobject-introspection and automake, which are not required for the final configure.

So I'd do this on my development machine:

download snapshot from github, patch as required
./bootstrap
./configure --enable-gtk-doc
make
make dist

This will make a distribution tarball. This tarball can configure and build with only run-time dependencies required. For example, no need for swig, since that's run for you at dis build time.

Now on your amazon instance:

tar xf vips-7.31.0.tar.gz
cd vips-7.31.0
./configure --prefix=/home/me/vips
make
make install

And that should work with no development dependencies.

Thanks for your help again,
I will do that as soon as I can.
Oh and happy new year! :)

There's an updated dev tarball here:

http://www.vips.ecs.soton.ac.uk/development/vips-7.31.0.tar.gz

it might help this problem.

Closing this issue, it seems to be fixed. Please reopen if there's still a problem.

I am having the exact same issue on Amazon Linux AMI release 2014.03. For the tarball at http://www.vips.ecs.soton.ac.uk/supported/current/vips-7.40.2.tar.gz, output of ./configure:

...
configure: error: Package requirements (glib-2.0 >= 2.6 gmodule-2.0 libxml-2.0 gobject-2.0) were not met:

No package 'glib-2.0' found
No package 'gmodule-2.0' found
No package 'libxml-2.0' found
No package 'gobject-2.0' found

At a minimum, glib-2.0 is on the system. I assume there are some path issues, but I cannot figure out what.

Well, that turned out to be embarrassingly easy... glib-2.0 was on the system but glib2-devel was not. Installing it and libxml2-devel fixed the issue.

sudo yum install glib2-devel
sudo yum install libxml2-devel
