[Slackbuilds-users] appstream-glib compile failure

[Ricardo J. Barberis]

Hi everyone!

Slackware64 14.2, appstream-glib 0.7.4 fails to build for me:

ninja: Entering directory `/tmp/sbopkg.zqThpw/appstream-glib-appstream_glib_0_7_4/_build'
ninja: error: '../libappstream-glib/libappstream-glib/as-environment-ids.txt', needed by 'libappstream-glib/as-resources.c', missing and no known rule to make it
Makefile:4: recipe for target 'all' failed
make: *** [all] Error 1

Notice the double "libappstream-glib/" in the "ninja: error:" line

Tried 0.7.3, also fails, same error.

Can anyone confirm?


PS: I fixed it adding this sed before the make command, not sure if it's the right fix:

sed -i -e "s,../libappstream-glib/libappstream-glib/,../libappstream-glib/,g" _build/build.ninja
