Description Christian Stewart 2019-11-18 19:06:45 UTC

Buildroot 2019.11-rc1
Network Manager 1.20.4
Ubuntu 16.04.6 LTS Virtual Machine (on DigitalOcean)

Build fails on network manager with:

configure: error: Package requirements (gio-unix-2.0 >= 2.40 gmodule-2.0) were not met:

Package 'gio-unix-2.0', required by 'virtual:world', not found
Package 'gmodule-2.0', required by 'virtual:world', not found

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

Reproduced on a colleague's desktop Ubuntu setup as well. Issue does not occur on earlier versions of Buildroot.

Comment 1 Christian Stewart 2019-11-18 19:20:04 UTC

I can confirm that this is fixed by reverting commit:

  package/network-manager: drop obsolete dependencies
  7643ab05de860011e749aa720c92d5de150bee0a

The commit incorrectly drops some dependencies that NetworkManager requires, particularly glib. If I knew specifically which dependencies were required, I would / will submit a patch.

I have submitted http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/1201823/ to fix this.

Merged for 2019.11, thanks
