Why does Launchpad fail to find 'glib-compile-schemas' while building for PPA?

Question

So, I'm trying to publish my app in my PPA, but I'm having problems related with building my app. Here you have the output:

/bin/sh: 1: glib-compile-schemas: not found
make[1]: *** [override_dh_install] Error 127
make[1]: Leaving directory `/build/buildd/virtuam-0.1ubuntu1'
make: *** [binary] Error 2
dpkg-buildpackage: error: /usr/bin/fakeroot debian/rules binary gave error exit status 2
******************************************************************************
Build finished at 20120709-2102
FAILED [dpkg-buildpackage died]
******************************************************************************

Even following the solutions posted in https://askubuntu.com/questions/156339/launchpad-failed-to-build-after-quickly-submitubuntu, I have no luck. What should I do?

The build error is this: https://launchpadlibrarian.net/109704402/buildlog_ubuntu-precise-i386.virtuam_0.1ubuntu1_FAILEDTOBUILD.txt.gz

Solution 1

Your build dependencies are incomplete. From your build log I can see that it tries to install (upgrade) the libglib2.0-0 package. However, glib-compile-schemas is provided by the libglib2.0-bin package which is not a dependency of libglib2.0-0.

To solve this, add libglib2.0-dev as build dependency which will install both libglib2.0-bin and libglib2.0-0.

Solution 2

The missing dependency on libglib2.0-bin for glib-compile-schemas is actually a quickly bug. The fix is in precise-proposed. See https://askubuntu.com/questions/156339/launchpad-failed-to-build-after-quickly-submitubuntu.

Solution 3

It looks like you aren't specifying all of your build dependencies in the debian/control file.

It seems we were wrong to close this. On second look, it seems like a separate, not too localized problem with a perfectly good solution that will help others. I recommend we reopen this, and then make that question a duplicate of this. Otherwise, people searching with this issue will be very confused when they get here and might not get an answer.

OK, thanks... solved myself, but, as is the same solution, I give you the merit ;)
