Bug 412157 – dev-db/mysql-workbench-5.2.38 fails to compile with glib-2.32.0 <glib/gthreads.h>

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description goeland86 2012-04-16 00:40:02 UTC]

Glib changed the interface and returns an error if an application tries to directly include glib/gthreads.h I have seen the behavior with other applications, but this is the one I patched.



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge =dev-libs/glib-2.32.0
2. emerge mysql-workbench (if on ~amd64 this will be =dev-db/mysql-workbench-5.2.38

Actual Results:  
observe error about including <glib/gthreads.h> in library/canvas/src/mdc_canvas_view.h 

Expected Results:  
Expected compilation without error

This occurs with other applications, any code that has a #include <glib/gthreads.h> will fail. I've noticed the same behavior in gtk-engines-nodoka, though that package is what I consider optional, therefore I ignored it. 
However mysql-workbench is a critical admin tool for mysql databases, and I prefer it to alternatives to work with. As such I looked closer to the problem and created a patch for the code and a local ebuild.

patch to fix all calls to includes which need to be replaced by glib.h

As extra info, the patch fixes the code until it compiles - however it is not just gthreads.h that is affected - see the patch for all includes used by this app.

According to upstream this is fixed in 5.2.39 which is now in the tree.

Bug 412265 shows that it is not fixed with 5.2.39.

mysql-workbench-5.2.39-r1.ebuild

Patch created for 5.2.38 works on 5.2.39 as well.

Probably just a temporary fix, but ebuild for patching the code for 5.2.39 is in the ebuild mysql-workbench-5.2.39-r1.ebuild

Thanks, I have now applied this to CVS (no revision bump).
