Bug 330005 – xfce4-panel-4.6.4 does not compile with libxfce4util-4.7.2

• Status: VERIFIED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Ronny Perinke 2010-07-26 23:42:47 UTC]

XfceDesktopEntry is now deprecated in libxfce4util-4.7.2 (http://git.xfce.org/xfce/libxfce4util/commit/?id=807cd08c78a449a67119944ff79d40394030772b) but the definition of this datatype is required in libxfcegui4 which is required by xfce4-panel. As a result, xfce4-panel does not compile anymore.

Possible solutions:
1) define LIBXFCE4UTIL_COMPILATION in every package that depends on libxfce4util
2) undo deprecation-patch

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge libxfce4util-4.7.2
2. emerge xfce4-panel-4.6.4
3.

Actual Results:  
emerge failes with

/usr/include/xfce4/libxfcegui4/xfce-appmenuitem.h:72: Error: expected »)« before »*« token

Thanks for the quick feedback. I've masked that version for now until something is done.

Does it work with xfce4-panel-4.7.2? I assume so.

I don't know. xfce4-panel-4.7.2 is hard-masked and I only have my xfce-packages unmasked using ~arch. I think it is better to hard-mask all 4.7.* xfce packages until all xfce 4.7 packages are available.

xfce4-panel-4.6.4 worked with libxfce4util-4.7.1 and is working with libxfce4util-4.7.2 after adding -DLIBXFCE4UTIL_COMPILATION to my CFLAGS.

[Comment 6 Samuli Suominen (RETIRED) 2010-09-02 12:55:40 UTC]

i.e.

if you use libxfce4util-4.7, use xfce4-panel-4.7 too.
