jhbuild failed to build yelp-xsl for libxslt and libxml2 dependencies


I am trying to compile via jhbuild the yelp-xsl (The core XSLT stylesheets used by libyelp and yelp).

I am using Ubuntu Raring 13.04 fully updated from today.

I have all the dependencies recommended for Ubuntu installed and related development packages too:

$ dpkg -l libxslt* | grep dev; dpkg -l libxml2* | grep dev
un  libxslt-dev                                   <none>                                                       (no description available)
ii  libxslt1-dev                                  1.1.27-1ubuntu1                                 i386         XSLT 1.0 processing library - development kit
ii  libxml2-dev:i386                              2.9.0+dfsg1-4ubuntu1                            i386         Development files for the GNOME XML library

But running the compilation I get a failed result:

No package 'libxslt' found

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables YELP_XSL_CFLAGS
and YELP_XSL_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

Solution

  • Asking in #gnome-hackers at irc.gnome.org. Some people tell me that the error was produced by use previously jhbuild bootstrap. This can create conflicts because there are a chance of a own pkg-config is installed, that it doesn't know about the multiarch ubuntu directories.

    So running:

    $ pkg-config --modversion libxml-2.0 libxslt
    

    Reports 2.9.0 and 1.1.27 versions, but running:

    $ jhbuild run pkg-config --modversion libxml-2.0 libxslt
    Package libxml-2.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path.
    Perhaps you should add the directory containing `libxml-2.0.pc'
    to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
    No package 'libxml-2.0' found
    Package libxslt was not found in the pkg-config search path.
    Perhaps you should add the directory containing `libxslt.pc'
    to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
    No package 'libxslt' found
    

    The only solution for fix this problem is wipe fully the /opt/gnome/ folder and try again. Then all work fine.
