Re: Bug#711107: gtk+3.0: FTBFS on ia64 and mips

[Patrick Baggett <baggett.patrick@gmail.com>]

Hi everyone,

I've built it, but I'm getting test errors related to a11y service not running -- a message from D-Bus. I didn't have time to grab a dump of it, and I'm not really sure about what a11y is (quick Google says it is some kind of daemon). I'll have to resolve that error first, but it seems like should have an answer soon.

Regards,

Patrick

Alright, that sounds easy enough, I'll try to get to it tonight (GMT -6:00).

That's great! Something like this should work:

apt-get update
apt-get source gtk+3.0
apt-get build-dep gtk+3.0
cd gtk+3.0-3.8.2
dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc

At some point the build will fail (when running the tests). Then do:

cd debian/build/shared/tests/a11y

./children

And see if the test passes. And

xvfb-run ./children

And see if it fails.

Thanks!
Emilio
