Hello!
I was wondering, whether the app Gnome “the-board”, which was officially part in openSUSE12.x (and so seemed to work fine with Gnome-3) will be supported in 13.x too in some time?
Trying to install the 12.x packages from the openSUSE package search didn’t work and also installing it from source failed. There are some dependencies that cannot be resolved and the openSUSE-installer resists all my attempts to install the missing packages. Running ./configure gives the following error message:
configure: error: Package requirements (glib-2.0 >= 2.27.3
gobject-introspection-1.0 >= 0.9.6
gjs-1.0 >= 0.7.7
gjs-dbus-1.0 >= 0.7.7
gobject-2.0 >= 2.27.3
clutter-1.0 >= 1.5.8
mx-1.0 >= 1.1.1
gtk±3.0 >= 2.91.7
clutter-gtk-1.0 >= 0.91.6
clutter-gst-1.0 >= 1.3.2) were not met:
No package ‘gjs-1.0’ found
No package ‘gjs-dbus-1.0’ found
No package ‘clutter-gst-1.0’ 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 THE_BOARD_CFLAGS
and THE_BOARD_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.
Are there probably any alternative libraries to gjs and clutter-gst that work with SUSE that would allow the installation of that app?
There is an Ubuntu ppa for the-board and also Fedora supports it. It’s somehow a pity if that app would never work again on a current version of SUSE, this was just such a great piece of software. Is there probably any other way to get that run by emulating the app (without installing a full ubuntu as a virtual machine just to get access to a single app)?
Many thanks in advance!

Hi
By the looks old code that has not caught up with the changes is the
gnome-shell.
Maybe contact the author and ask if their are any plans to update.
