I am trying to install xfce4-panel (from a tarball) on Ubuntu 20.04, however, when I run

./configure

I get an error:

configure: error: could not find gdbus-codegen in $PATH. You can run ./configure GDBUS_CODEGEN=/path/to/gdbus-codegen to define a custom location for it.

The error says gdbus-codegen is not PATH but I am not sure where gdbus-codegen is or how I can add it to the PATH. If it helps, I am installing xfce4 from here: https://gitlab.xfce.org/xfce/xfce4-panel (Also, I am very new to Ubuntu, I'm not sure if gdbus-codegen is even installed)

  • `gdbus-codegen` is provided by the `libglib2.0-dev-bin` package... but before installing it please tell us **why** you are trying to install `xfce4-panel` *from a source tarball*? – steeldriver Jan 31 '22 at 19:56
  • What was wrong with official xfce4-panel 4.14 [deb-package from repository](https://packages.ubuntu.com/focal/xfce4-panel)? You are running Ubuntu, not Gentoo. – N0rbert Jan 31 '22 at 19:56
  • Is it not recommended to install from source tarballs? Also, I did not know about the deb-package from the repository, I will try installing from there. – mh-anwar Jan 31 '22 at 19:59
