make: glib-compile-resources: Command not found

Question

I try to compile a code that uses gtk3 and I get the following error:

make: glib-compile-resources: Command not found

I am using fedora. I searched for the file "glib-compile-resources" and it does not exist in my computer.

This file should be included into glib2 (according to: https://www.archlinux.org/packages/core/i686/glib2/).

I have all these packages installed:

rpm -qa | grep -i ^glib

I would like to update glib, but i do not know exactly how to do it. I tried using (yum update glibc-*) but it appears the following:

yum update glib-*
Loaded plugins: langpacks, presto, refresh-packagekit

You're missing an asterisk in your yum update command. Also, I'd drop the hyphen:

yum update glib* 

Specifically, glib-compile-resources is provided by the glib2-devel package (note that you only have glib-devel installed).

Output from my Fedora 19 machine:

[root@some-machine ~]# yum provides glib-compile-resources

It seems that I do have glib2-level (look below), then what else can I do? yum install glib2-devel Loaded plugins: langpacks, presto, refresh-packagekit Setting up Install Process Package glib2-devel-2.28.8-1.fc15.x86_64 already installed and latest version Nothing to do – Goggle

I did: yum uninstall glib2-devel and then: yum install glib2-devel Now I have the glib2-devel library, but still not the glib-compile-resources: [root@suve ~]# rpm -qa | grep -i ^glib glib-1.2.10-34.fc15.x86_64 glib-networking-2.28.6.1-2.fc15.x86_64 glibmm24-2.28.1-1.fc15.x86_64 glibc-utils-2.14.1-6.x86_64 glibc-headers-2.14.1-6.x86_64 glibc-common-2.14.1-6.x86_64 glib-devel-1.2.10-34.fc15.x86_64 glib2-2.28.8-1.fc15.i686 glibc-2.14.1-6.i686 glibc-static-2.14.1-6.x86_64 glib2-2.28.8-1.fc15.x86_64 glibc-devel-2.14.1-6.x86_64 glibc-2.14.1-6.x86_64 glib2-devel-2.28.8-1.fc15.x86_64 – Goggle

You have glib2-2.28. glib-compile-resources was online introduced in glib2-2.31 (see upstream.rosalinux.ru/changelogs/glib/2.31.16/changelog.html). The best idea I have for you if upgrading your fedora (15 is pretty outdated...). Sorry. – Joly

Thanks Mureinik, I updated to fedora 17 and now I have the file glib2-2.32.4-2.fc17.x86_64 I installed gtk3-devel to solve some problem but now when I do make it shows: – Goggle

Thanks Mureinik I updated to fedora 17 and now I have the file glib2-2.32.4-2.fc17.x86_64 But now it shows: Building Binary gui_lx9_enet /bin/ld: ../chip-interfaces/src/MQInterface.o: undefined reference to symbol 'mq_send@@GLIBC_2.3.4' /bin/ld: note: 'mq_send@@GLIBC_2.3.4' is defined in DSO /lib64/librt.so.1 so try adding it to the linker command line /lib64/librt.so.1: could not read symbols: Invalid operation collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status make: *** [gui_lx9_enet] Error 1 I added /lib64 to PATH and made a symbolic link in /usr/bin, but none of them worked. Any other ideas? – Goggle

can you this info to the question (or open another question for it)? It's really hard to read like this in the comments... – Joly

I agree, very uncomfortable this commente. Anyway I managed to solve the problem. I just added the following in the Makefile: LIBS = -lrt Thanks for your help – Goggle
