Not sure if this goes here or under development, but it is part of a topic related to using extensions from a user point of view so, I will include it here.
I am trying to build Caja, so I can better understand the python extensions interface. I am running into difficulties with libgail-3-0 in that it does not seem to install a .pc (project configuration) file. The install script recommends that I set an env var, but I think that is to just point to a .pc file. Some Internet research claims that constructing my own .pc file is fraught with potential issues, and that something likely went wrong with the installation since the install script is clearly expecting there to be a .pc file, and that one should focus on the install itself (re-install, and so on, which I tried to no avail).
Next, I tried just deleting the check from autogen.sh hoping that since it was installed all would go well, but I must have also deleted the setup necessary to find libgail.
Does Caja build out-of-the-box for others? If so, please help me discover what is wrong with my setup or the way I am building it. Thanks!
