Building gtk+-2.10.8 but get a undefined reference to g_thread_gettime

Haraldsh · 02-08-2007, 07:02 AM

I'm building an user environment for gtk for a specific user, however, I'm getting alot of problems due to a bug when building gtk. I've checked for a workaround it, but the closest I get to it is the Workaround for gaim

I can't make any sense of the gaim solution, and don't see how to apply it to the make file for gtk+-2.10.8

Anyone got a clue?

So far I've compiled, just mentioning it:
atk-1.10.3
autoconf-2.60
automake-1.10
cairo-1.3.12
fontconfig-2.4.2
gcc-3.4.4
gcc-g++-3.4.4
glib-2.12.9
libiconv-1.11
libtool-2.1a
pkg-config-0.21
texinfo-0.48

If you want an example of the makefile, it's 35k lines long..
However I'm wondering how to set those options that are mentioned in the gaim solution, I'm getting this error:

Code:

/home/haraldsh/library//lib/libgthread-2.0.so: undefined reference to `g_thread_gettime'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[2]: *** [pixbuf-threads] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/haraldsh/src/gtk+-2.10.8/tests'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/haraldsh/src/gtk+-2.10.8'
make: *** [all] Error 2

*note* I've put up a similiar thread on LinuxForums, but thought it wouldn't hurt putting a thread here either...

To set the flag

Code:

export CFLAGS = -Wl --allow-shlib-undefined

Plus anything else you already set.

I made it work.
I just did a 'make uninstall' on both gtk and the the glib sources, then went back an older glib version (I tried to install the latest). Then I installed the recent gtk, since I checked that an older gtk gave the same error.

Hey, would you mind telling the rest of us what version of glib you reverted to? Thanks.

ok, so in this day and age of instant gratification, i found the right version - glib 1.12.8 will "fix" the gtk build error.

build glib version 2.12.8 available here: ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/glib/2.12/

Sounds about right. Dunno why I didn't receive your previous reply, so sorry about. Good thing that you made it work
