Compile Error on Debian Testing, Gnome 3.8

[Keruspe]

Hi,

if you already have a version of GPaste installed, try removing it first, and then retry, it should work.
It's a known issue GPaste (and a lot of other projects) has with libtool that I didn't manage to fix properly yet.

Keruspe,

Thanks for your reply. It's a plain and freshly installed box, no older instances of GPaste are installed, however, I had tried to install the GPaste/Gnome3 Extension before compiling. I think I'll just wait a bit.

best,
Stephan

I am out without a computer for two weeks, will try to reproduce afterwards.
Note that a friend of mine is willing to do the Debian packaging soon

That's good news, thanks a lot. Have a good time whatever you do these two weeks meanwhile.

Are you sure you're trying with GPaste 3.2.2 ? I see some reference to it in > 3.5, in 3.2 but neither in 3.2.1 nor in 3.2.2

[roedel1]

Unfortunately I am sure. I just tried again to compile v3.2.2, v3.3 and v3.5. As systemd hasn't become the standard in the repos by now i didn't pass the --enable-systemd parameter. Everything else is straight and clean as described in the README file.

[Keruspe]

With v3.3, which error do you get?
still the libgpaste/core/.libs/libgpaste-core.so: undefined reference to `g_paste_clipboards_manager_get_instance_private'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status ?

If so, I'd really like to see the output of

grep -rI  g_paste_clipboards_manager_get_instance_private .

in your build tree

[roedel1]

Just took a closer look, seems to be another error now but it is still not compiling. I'm not sure if I'm still right in this issue here.
Here's the full make-output for 3.3:

make --no-print-directory all-recursive

Does this patch fix the issue for you?
https://github.com/Keruspe/GPaste/commit/57e5118720523e4bc8daed2db825397041cad85a.patch

[roedel1]

Yep, your patch does the trick.
Compiled, installed and working like a charm now.
Just comment if you want me to do some further actions.

As it may be stated by others: Thank you so much, you're doing great work!

I just released 3.3.1 which should be all fine in debian wheezy, and have fixed the last issues I hit with debian sid in the gpaste-3.10 branch, for your information :)
