RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description of problem:
I'm trying to clone from upstream repo git://anongit.freedesktop.org/spice/spice-gtk/ and build spice-gtk on RHEL 6.4 host. Unfortunately, I'm hitting failures while doing so. I have disabled introspection.

Per conversation with Marc-Andre, filing this bug. Conversation below.

> Why is this?

Mostly because of autotools limitation, we require gobject-introspection macros (and perhaps other recent macros & functionnality). Although now that I think about it, we may found some workaround.. It's just that no one is doing development in RHEL6 environment, and the tarball is enough for RHEL build and releases.

Feel free to open a bug, it could be easy (or it could be hard and not worth it)

To build on RHEL6, you need the released tarball, or you will have to run autogen.sh from a recent fedora, and then build the resulting tree in RHEL.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
upstream spice-gtk

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Clone spice-gtk from git://anongit.freedesktop.org/spice/spice-gtk/
2. Build using ./configure --with-gtk=2.0 --disable-gtk-doc --disable-introspection 
3. Fails
Comment 1 Marc-Andre Lureau 2013-08-19 12:09:20 UTC 
the patch is upstream
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/spice/spice-gtk/commit/?id=d0a71934c12a748054fafd1ba9007d45071cc822

Since this is a git build issue, and not a RHEL release issue, closing
