<div dir="ltr">Hi again, So I am attempting to compile the system.c example Richard linked me to in the previous message. I am using the compile string from the website. At first try, I got the following error: system.c: In function 'main': system.c:15: error: expected '=', ',', ';', 'asm' or '__attribute__' before '*' token system.c:15: error: 'obj' undeclared (first use in this function) system.c:15: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once system.c:15: error: for each function it appears in.) system.c:60: warning: implicit declaration of function 'pk_package_list_get_obj' Then I tried to find the culprit of the first  error "error: expected '=', ',', ';', 'asm' or '__attribute__' before '*' token". I removed the "const" from the line "const PkPackageObj *obj;" and tried  to compile, giving me the error output: system.c: In function 'main': system.c:18: error: 'PkPackageObj' undeclared (first use in this function) system.c:18: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once system.c:18: error: for each function it appears in.) system.c:18: error: 'obj' undeclared (first use in this function) system.c:63: warning: implicit declaration of function 'pk_package_list_get_obj' I then tried to track down which header PkPackageObj was being declared in. I grep'd for the string in the libpackagekit directory from the git main branch (0.2.3) image and noticed it was used in <pk-package-list.h> and <pk-package-obj.h>. Also I searched for "pk_package_list_get_obj" which was used in <pk-package-list.h>. I added those header includes to the file, tried to compile again and got the same errors. So I looked in /usr/include/packagekit and noticed that 'pk-package-obj.h' does not exist there, but 'pk-package-list.h' does. [/usr/include/packagekit/] pk-catalog.h  pk-client.h  pk-common.h  pk-connection.h  pk-control.h  pk-debug.h  pk-enum.h  pk-extra.h  pk-package-id.h  pk-package-ids.h  pk-package-item.h  pk-package-list.h  pk-task-list.h I grep'd for PkPackageObj here are could not find it. I recursively grep'd the entire  /usr/include branch for PkPackageObj and found nothing. And this is where my ideas ended. HELP! :) Thanks, -Dorian <div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Aug 7, 2008 at 2:34 AM, Richard Hughes <<a href="mailto:hughsient@gmail.com">hughsient@gmail.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> <div class="Ih2E3d">On Wed, 2008-08-06 at 18:53 -0700, Dorian Perkins wrote: > Hello again, > > So I have another question now.

See <a href="http://www.packagekit.org/pk-faq.html#session-system" target="_blank">http://www.packagekit.org/pk-faq.html#session-system</a> for an explanation of why you would want to use the session interface in an trivial application, but the system one for more complex or for integrated use cases. To do RepoEnable you'll need to use the system service -- it's more complicated but much more powerful. Luckily there are some nice GObject bindings that make it a lot easier to work with. Have a look at an example file I just uploaded: <a href="http://www.packagekit.org/files/system.c" target="_blank">http://www.packagekit.org/files/system.c</a> -- all the docs for that are here: <a href="http://www.packagekit.org/gtk-doc/" target="_blank">http://www.packagekit.org/gtk-doc/</a> That's certainly some reading for you to do! :-) <div><div></div><div class="Wj3C7c"> Richard. _______________________________________________ PackageKit mailing list <a href="mailto:PackageKit@lists.freedesktop.org">PackageKit@lists.freedesktop.org</a> <a href="http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/packagekit" target="_blank">http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/packagekit</a> </div></div></blockquote></div> </div>
