If I disable building without --enable-external-ndesk-dbus. It builds fine. If at-spi-sharp is not compatible with external ndesk-dbus 0.6.1a, then it should not be set as valid pkgconfig requirement.

Reproducible: Always

1) This error doesn't seem to have anything to do with ndesk-dbus per se...I think a reference is not getting set up right when --enable-external-ndesk-dbus is enabled.  Will look into it.

2) at-spi-sharp may be compilable with ndesk-dbus 0.6.1a, but chances are it uses features that do not work properly except in our bundled version.  The --enable-external flag is really meant for testing purposes, not for packages.  Please rest assured that we are actively working on stabilizing our bundled version (which is available on gitorious in the mono-a11y branch of dbus-sharp) so that we can assist with a new upstream release of ndesk-dbus that contains all the necessary fixes.

Fix build with --enable-external-ndesk-dbus

Comment 3 Sanford Armstrong 2010-03-06 04:34:39 UTC

Not perfect, now I get this error, but I'm done for the night:

./ActionTest.cs(36,17): error CS0104: `Action' is an ambiguous reference between `System.Action' and `Atspi.Action'

Better patch

I noticed that if you autogen with --enable-external-ndesk-dbus, make distcheck fails.  This is undoubtedly also a problem in UiaDbus.

make[2]: *** No rule to make target `../../ndesk-dbus/*.cs', needed by `bin/at-spi-sharp.dll'.  Stop.
