Compilling issue

[Pixelec]

Is this possible to simplify build.
I mean remove autogen mecanisms and notice all dependencies needed in the readme file?

All the issues I resolved :
install glib2-devel gtk-doc intltool libtool,
each time need to copy error message error on internet to know what is the missing package,
install gobject-introspection because HAVE_INTROSPECTION does not appear in AM_CONDITIONAL
then dnf slap me that the package does not exists so copying the content of introspection.m4 from gobject repos,

Copying all codeset.m4 gettext.m4 glibc21.m4 iconv.m4 isc-posix.m4 lcmessage.m4 progtest.m4

Now having this :

If you wish to pass any to it, please specify them on the

Copying file po/Makefile.in.in

Please add the files
codeset.m4 gettext.m4 glibc21.m4 iconv.m4 isc-posix.m4 lcmessage.m4
progtest.m4
from the /usr/share/aclocal directory to your autoconf macro directory
or directly to your aclocal.m4 file.
You will also need config.guess and config.sub, which you can get from
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/config/.

Package 'libxml-2.0', required by 'virtual:world', not found
Package 'gnutls', required by 'virtual:world', not found
Package 'libgsasl', required by 'virtual:world', not found

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables infinity_CFLAGS
and infinity_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.`

And getting disconnected from ssh each time and error happen.

Notice that I have libxml-2.0, gnutls and libgsasl ...
All of this only for enabling super user on infinoted (refer to the bug 115),
Please understand that this is getting on my nerves...

I just need the correction made in 2015 on this problem.
Thanks by advance...

Notice that I have libxml-2.0, gnutls and libgsasl ...

How did you install them? If you have installed them from your distribution, make sure to also get the -dev or -devel variants of those packages. Otherwise if you built these yourself they might be installed in /usr/local or elsewhere, in which case you should adjust the PKG_CONFIG_PATH enviroment variable when calling configure, e.g. PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig ./autogen.sh.

Ok, that worked, so if I resume :
install binutils gcc make glibc-headers glibc-devel glib2-devel gtk-doc intltool libtool libxml2-devel gnutls-devel libgsasl-devel are needed
(even if binutils gcc make glibc-headers glibc-devel are often provided, just for other who wouls be complaining).

Copy introspection.m4 codeset.m4 gettext.m4 glibc21.m4 iconv.m4 isc-posix.m4 lcmessage.m4 progtest.m4 from /usr/share/aclocal/ and introspection.m4 form https://github.com/GNOME/gobject-introspection/blob/master/m4/introspection.m4 to m4 folder (into repository).

then run . autogen.sh which can take a long time on a raspberry pi...

I could contribute if you want, I seen some deprecated calls to readdir_r in common/inf-file-util.c and a right shift that exceed the size of type in common/inf-cert-util.c ...
