Glom anybody?

[zombie_ramboz]

The previous time I compiled Glom I remember it being a straightforward affair. This time, on running ./configure I am seeing the below:

Code: Select all

No package 'libxml++-3.0' found
No package 'libxslt' found
No package 'pygobject-3.0' found
No package 'libgdamm-5.0' found
No package 'libgda-5.0' found
No package 'libgda-postgres-5.0' found
No package 'libgda-postgres-5.0' found
No package 'libgda-mysql-5.0' found
No package 'libarchive' found
No package 'libepc-1.0' 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 LIBGLOM_CFLAGS
and LIBGLOM_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

And am having a very hard time installing these dependencies, mainly because I can't find them. Searching for libxml++-3.0 turn up nothing, for example.

Is there anyway around this?

You're out of luck with that version of libxml in Debian.
Did you try installing with pip instead of compiling?

Good thinking. I am not familiar with PIP, I ran:

Code: Select all

pip install glom

This appeared to be successful, and I can see a Glom dir in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages with associated files. Now how do I run it? No menu entry created and typing "glom" in the CLI returns "{}".

pip has --user option, which installs to your own home-dir. /usr/local/ installation requires root privileges to use.

In this case, you can ignore my previous post (--user option). To use glom, you have to import in python.

Code: Select all

pip install glom

Is something meant to happen when I import glom?

Not as such, but you can start using it's functions. https://github.com/mahmoud/glom/
