Building GtkAda - Ubuntu

Building GtkAda - Ubuntu

[RasikaSrinivasan@gmail.com]

I am getting the following error message when I try to build GtkAda on
Ubuntu. Turns out I dont have a file called xrender.pc. Any ideas on
how to solve this issue? Also I thought cairo was for the Mac's. Does
this indicate some sort of config error?

Thanks for hints, srini

Perhaps you should add the directory containing `xrender.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
Package 'xrender', required by 'cairo', not found

Have you tried

aptitude install libgtkada2.14.2-dev

?

Thanks. That worked. I wonder if I could find other packages that I
seem to have trouble installing eg. PolyORB and AWS.

Yes, use aptitude to look for the packages that depend on ada-compiler
or gnat.

Where do the GtkAda sources you are building come from ?
1.If you got them from an Ubuntu repository, the answer Ludovic gave
you is good.

2. If they are external to Ubuntu, like (libre.adacore.com), I would
say installing
libxrender-dev or libcairo2-dev could be more appropriate.

libcairo2-dev: /usr/lib/pkgconfig/cairo-xlib-xrender.pc
libxrender-dev: /usr/lib/pkgconfig/xrender.pc

PS:
You could install the apt-file package that will help you find the
package that provides a specific file. For example, running
$ apt-file search xrender.pc
returns me the 2 packages I suggested you.

to update the apt-file database, run
$ apt-file update
