      Hi,
      Can anybody please help,how to install a gnome-keyring development package in cent0s 8.
      I need to create a sample C/C++ program which should use gnome-keyring API to create and access the own keyring for storing password.

      I got some sample programs from gnome developer site.But while compiling the program I get error saying “gnome-keyring.h” is not found.

      When I surfed net,i got to know that gnome-keyring-devel shoud be installed to get libraries and include files for the development.

      yum install allows gnome-keyring not gnome-keyring-devel.So I am not sure if centos 8 really has the development package for gnome-keyring.

      There are .so created under /usr/lib64/gnome-keyring no include directory or .pc found in the system for the same.

      Anybody has any idea how can create application that uses gnome-keyring featues and how can I access the keyring API in the program.

      Sample program I tried for locking the keyring

      #include
      #include

      int main() {
      GnomeKeyringResult lock_result = gnome_keyring_lock_all_sync();
      if (lock_result == GNOME_KEYRING_RESULT_OK) {
      printf(“Successfully locked\n”);
      return 0;
      } else {
      printf(“Error locking keyring: %d\n”, lock_result);
      return 1;
      }
      }
