I get this error when compiling Parole from git in xubuntu 12.10 with xfce from git. Configure does not give any error. Making check in notify make[4]: Entering directory `/home/prova/Xfce/parole/src/plugins/notify' CC parole_notify_la-notify-provider.lo notify-provider.c:30:30: fatal error: libnotify/notify.h: No such file or directory compilation terminated. make[4]: *** [parole_notify_la-notify-provider.lo] Error 1 make[4]: Leaving directory `/home/prova/Xfce/parole/src/plugins/notify' make[3]: *** [check-recursive] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/prova/Xfce/parole/src/plugins' make[2]: *** [check-recursive] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/prova/Xfce/parole/src' make[1]: *** [check] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/prova/Xfce/parole/src' make: *** [check-recursive] Error 1
Sounds like you're missing libnotify-dev?
Ooops...sorry! I was "sure" it was installed... So my report is not a bug. Thanks
I have just tweaked the configure file. Configure will now fail if the notification plugin is to be built, but libnotify-dev is not installed. Thanks for pointing this bug out!
