Hmm.  This is not one of the package options in Ubuntu Dapper Drake.
The available packages are: automake1.4, automake1.5, automake1.6,
automake1.7, automake1.8, automake1.9.  So I would have to install it
by hand.

It is worth pointing out that automake1.7 is the one that was pulled
in by the Build-Depends debian/control line.  So that needs to be more
specific.

I think the only problem here is that libgdome2-dev is not in the
Build-Depends.

I'm ignoring these errors which are emitted by gdome-config because
the stdout appears to be correct.  These errors are what shows up on
stderr when you run “gdome-config --libs” and “gdome-config --cflags”.

I'm building without it for now.  Actually, I went back to 1.8.5 and
succeeded in building it.  Workrave 1.8.5 appears to not use GStreamer
(or at least gives no error messages).

Unfortunately, libgstreamer0.10-dev (which is GStreamer 0.10.6 on my
machine) was not sufficient to yield a happy compilation.

As mentioned, I installed one of them ...

I've got these D-Bus related package versions installed:

  dbus                                0.60-6ubuntu8.1
  dbus-1-utils                        0.60-6ubuntu8.1
  libdbus-1-2                         0.60-6ubuntu8.1
  libdbus-1-dev                       0.60-6ubuntu8.1
  libdbus-glib-1-2                    0.60-6ubuntu8.1
  libdbus-glib-1-dev                  0.60-6ubuntu8.1
  libdbus-qt-1-1c2                    0.60-6ubuntu8.1
  python2.4-dbus                      0.60-6ubuntu8.1

I've attached below the result of “./configure --enable-dbus” in
Workrave 1.9.0.  (I'm now using 1.8.5, which I was able to build.)

Hmm.  It looks from config.log like it is actually finding D-Bus, but
it is older than it wants.  Another item to add to Build-Depends.

Thanks, that is useful information.

I've got these packages installed:

  libgtkmm-2.4-1c2a                   2.8.8-0ubuntu1
  libgtkmm-2.4-dev                    2.8.8-0ubuntu1

> The docs say at least 2.10

Which docs?

Anyway, another item for the Build-Depends.

Is there any way to build without this feature of libgtkmm?  Otherwise
I appear to have no way to use Workrave 1.9.0 and will have to stay at
1.8.5.

Thanks for your detailed replies!
