2009-06-27 ELIM

I managed to build ELIM on Mac OS X and wasted about three hours of my life. Wow!

That’s what I get for trying to avoid Fink and MacPorts.

Fink

MacPorts

I got an error when installing glib: it requires gtkdoc-rebase, which is part of gtk-doc, which requires gnome-doc-utils, which requires ScrollKeeper, which requires the DocBook DTD in the system catalog, which I was too lazy to install manually. It turns out that I can *ignore the installation error for glib*!

Later, I tried ignoring the missing ScrollKeeper error and discovered that it was possible to install gnome-doc-utils, but then configuration of gtk-doc fails because the DocBook DTD is still required.

More time wasted. Why can’t I just read a book!?
