Bug 117394 – gnome-applets-2.12.2 fails to build after gcc update

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED INVALID

[Description Jose daLuz 2006-01-01 14:34:27 UTC]

I just updated gcc from 3.4.4-r1 to 3.4.5, and afterwards did an emerge -e
system/world. During the latter, gnome-applets-2.12.2 failed to build with the following error:

gweather-applet.c: In function `update_finish':
gweather-applet.c:428: error: syntax error before '*' token
gweather-applet.c:429: error: `NotifyHints' undeclared (first use in this function)

Just FYI (I know you don't support it), I emerged Gnome 2.13 from Break My Gentoo, and gnome-applets-2.13.1 has the same error (starting at line 410).  I'll look upstream for this error as well.

[Comment 3 Jose daLuz 2006-01-03 19:42:46 UTC]

Okay, this is related to libnotify.  The lines with errors are surrounded by #ifdef HAVE_LIBNOTIFY/#endif.  I had libnotify-0.3.0 from Gentopia installed, and unmerging it gets rid of this error.  This would still indicate a problem with libnotify support in gnome-applets, but perhaps this would be better addressed upstream.

[Comment 4 Daniel Gryniewicz (RETIRED) 2006-01-03 20:52:24 UTC]

Built fine with me with libnotify.  However, libnotify isn't in portage, so it's not a gentoo bug.
