build fails (version 0.8 and dev): mainwindow.c: undefined reference to `gtk_

[xuv]

Hello @roelj

I'm trying to compile the latest version of the software to take some screenshots and work on the #39. But it fails in the same way both on the lastes version in master and in the latest release 0.8.

With code from master, I get errors like this:

Not sure if I did something wrong or not.

Looks like you're compiling with a GTK version older than 3.10. Which distribution are you using, and what is your version of GTK?

[xuv]

Ho yes. Damn. I thought I checked this but I got confused by the version numbers.  I'm running Debian Wheezy, so I have version libgtk 3.4.2 and I thought it was ok because higher than 3.1. But as you point out, it's 3.10.

Do you know of any solution to circumvent this. I used to be able to build previous versions. I still have the 0.6 compiled and running.

[roelj]

Wow, I just realize they haven't updated libgtk. I think it involves some modifications to the source code.

A quick work-around for making some screenshots is starting a LiveCD (or virtual machine) of a distribution with a more recent version of libgtk.. I believe Fedora is one of those distributions.

Sorry for the inconvenience, I will modify the graphical interface this weekend so it will compile fine.

[xuv]

Hey, don't worry. The LiveCD is a good workaround. Didn't think of that. Thx. Don't break your code though, unless you want this to run on Debian stable also.
