Bug 319481 – media-libs/clutter-gtk-0.10.2 fails to compile with gtk+-2.20

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Alexandre Rostovtsev (RETIRED) 2010-05-13 04:19:04 UTC]

Due to some macros becoming deprecated in gtk+-2.20, clutter-gtk-0.10.2 fails to compile:

# emerge clutter-gtk

This bug has been fixed in clutter-gtk-0.10.4. However, we cannot use the patch[1] from 0.10.4 directly because it requires gtk+-2.20 (i.e. it unconditionally uses API not found in gtk+-2.18). Furthermore, clutter-gtk-0.10.4 requires clutter-1.2, not yet in portage.

Therefore, we need to patch clutter-gtk-0.10.2 using some ifdefs so that it can be built with any version of gtk+.

It fixed the trouble for me. Thanks! Wait for the upstream of the patch!
