libmbim-glib version with Debian Jessie

[Jean-Christian de Rivaz]

Hi,

I try to compile ModemManager git master on a Debian Jessie armhf. The 
configuration give two errors:

checking for MBIM... no
configure: error: Couldn't find libmbim-glib. Install it, or otherwise 
configure using --without-mbim to disable MBIM support.

checking for QMI... no
configure: error: Couldn't find libqmi-glib. Install it, or otherwise 
configure using --without-qmi to disable QMI support.

This is strange because both dev packages was installed on the system:

apt-cache policy libmbim-glib-dev libqmi-glib-dev
libmbim-glib-dev:
   Installed: 1.10.0-2.1
   Candidate: 1.10.0-2.1
   Version table:
  *** 1.10.0-2.1 0
         500 http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ jessie/main armhf Packages
         100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
libqmi-glib-dev:
   Installed: 1.10.2-2
   Candidate: 1.10.2-2
   Version table:
  *** 1.10.2-2 0
         500 http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ jessie/main armhf Packages
         100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

At that time I don't think I need MBIM or QMI, so I configured with 
--without-mbim --without-qmi

The build process was ok until this:

   CC       sierra/libmm_plugin_sierra_la-mm-plugin-sierra.lo
sierra/mm-plugin-sierra.c: In function 'create_modem':
sierra/mm-plugin-sierra.c:75:5: error: implicit declaration of function 
'mm_broadband_modem_new' [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
      return MM_BASE_MODEM (mm_broadband_modem_new (sysfs_path,

The function is declared here:

src/mm-broadband-modem.h:MMBroadbandModem *mm_broadband_modem_new (const 
gchar *device,

mm-plugin-sierra.c includes the header, but with a condition:

#if defined WITH_MBIM
#include "mm-broadband-modem-mbim.h"
#endif

So after all, solving why checking for MBIM return no is required. So I 
searched the test into the configure script:

pkg-config --exists --print-errors "mbim-glib >= 1.11.1"
Requested 'mbim-glib >= 1.11.1' but version of mbim-glib is 1.10.0

By curiosity, I changed the test to allow "mbim-glib >= 1.10.0". The the 
build end with this:

   CC       ModemManager-mm-sms-mbim.o
mm-sms-mbim.c: In function ‘sms_send_set_ready’:
mm-sms-mbim.c:116:9: error: implicit declaration of function 
‘mbim_message_response_get_result’ [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
          mbim_message_response_get_result (response, 
MBIM_MESSAGE_TYPE_COMMAND_DONE, &error) &&

Conclusion: actual ModemManager git master is impossible to compile 
alone on a Debian Jessie.
