Package 'gamin', required by 'virtual:world', not found

Hi,

I am trying to build code::blocks from source and get the error in the title. I can not figure out how to get gamin on the system.

gamin and gamin-devel are not found by yum.

This page gamin-0.1.10-38.fc34 | Build Info | koji lists gamin-devel has rpms. I am on a x86_64 system and use fedora 34, so I tried to install “gamin-devel-0.1.10-38.fc34.x86_64.rpm.” It fails with “could not depsolve transaction; 1 problem detected.”

This page Commit - rpms/gamin - 07ab52068816ff2a547dd964a07a16e675c65210 - src.fedoraproject.org supposedly has the source, so I was going to try and build it. Did a “git clone https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/gamin.git.” All that was cloned was a dead.package file with “No longer has any users, long outdated.” So then I tried “git revert --no-commit 07ab520…HEAD.” I got some patch files, a spec file, a config file for the package called gaminrc, and a file called sources with “2e2d9ea71f34e0aa22a700ddbff05385 gamin-0.1.10.tar.bz2.” This is where I am stuck.

Am I on the right path? What do I do?

I would think you should be able to …
clone the repo
switch to the last branch that was built, looks like f33
then use fedpkg mockbuild

you’ll probably need to specify the release you’re on for the mockbuild

Why does this command seem to be installing programs that are already on the system? Is it for the test environment?
It has produced gamin-0.1.10-38.fc36.src.rpm, but the software install is hanging trying to load the application details.

Probably explains it better than I could.

Ok, I cannot install the rpm because, “Error: Will not install a source rpm package.” I was able to install libraries from source, but how can I get the headers installed?
