I've grabbed the source from SVN, run aclocal, autoconf and configure
with your parameters (I usually don't pass any) "./configure
--disable-themer --disable-gnome
--with-libglade=/usr/lib/libglade-2.0.so" and it builds here (Debian
Sid), anyway I'm not sure about the "--disable-gnome" option.

Why do you need '--disable-gnome'?  I am not entirely sure what
consequences of that will be but if that would exclude pango then
most likely it is not what you want.

I know that configured '--disable-themer --without-gdk-pixbuf', plus
location for --x-libraries and --x-includes which may differ
depending on an X version and/or architecture, current sawfish
compiles for me without any real problems on all systems I have
around including the latest x86_64 Fedora rawhide.

I've only tried it to see if I could replicate his error. And like you
I wasn't sure about it as it's not mentioned in the available options.

[SOLVED] Compiling Sawfish on Slackware 12.0 (was: Compiling Sawfish on Slackware 12.0)

I have successfully compiled Sawfish from SVN and I'm now using it with
KDE.

I will write this up and put it on the Sawfish wiki; can I post my
SlackBuilds there?  A more economical version would be to post the lines
that need special attention (really just configure options).

Thanks for all your help!

The wiki doesn't support the host of compressed archives, only images
(and ODF documents IIRC), they conceded us the upload of text files
with the ".jl" suffix tho. (=

Okay, I will just post the relevant lines from the SlackBuilds, and
point out the user should download from SVN.  I will also contact my
favorite package sites and see if I can get them to host the
SlackBuilds.

Thanks,
Joel

Not sure if I understand the question.  "If I am missing pieces
required to build something will it still buld?"  It looks to me
like something self-answering.  OTOH why do you insist on
configuring in optional utilities for which you do not have means?
What prevents you from configuring '--disable-themer'?

> Where does the libglade-xgettext command come from?

As I wrote above I cannot tell you about organizational details of
Slackware.  If a distribution is using yum then you can type
'yum install /usr/bin/libglade-xgettext' and it will get installed
if it is available.  It  happens to be a part of 'libglade-devel'
package on Fedora.

The current one is really libglade2; which seriously differs from an
old libglade and in particular does not provide libglade-xgettext.
