[SOLVED] Trying to build Sooperlooper

[jaywalker]

...and I need sigc++-1.2.

As we know, Mageia 3 only ships sigc++2.0.

What are my options?

Is it feasible to build the sigc++-1.2. library and install it alongside 2.0?

Is it feasible to convert sooperlooper to the newer sigc++2.0 library?

Just thought. I have sooperlooper running on MGA2. Might the sigc library from MGA2 live alongside the MGA3 version?

Any thoughts?

Hmmm, that started me thinking - something I should have done before posting!
MGA2 ships with sigc++2.0 as well, so I must have built it before and it must co-exist quite happily.

So I built it again and lo - it works just fine. The Sooperlooper build completed with no further complaint but it can't find the 1.2 library - probably a naming thing as it should be looking for lib64 rather than just libsigc-1.2.so.5.

And Finally:

It is necessary to configure the build of libsigc-1.2 with

./configure --prefix=/usr --libdir=/usr/lib64

Just to be safe, I did the same with sooperlooper and all is well

Now I just have to tackle Jamin.
