Compilation error: cairo-dock-icon-manager.c : storage size of ‘s_aMutexLookupIcon’ isn’t known

[Write2david]

Compiling latest BZR revision (1088) fails with:

/var/tmp/portage/x11-misc/cairo-dock-9999/work/cairo-dock-9999/src/gldit/cairo-dock-icon-manager.c:75:15: error: storage size of ‘s_aMutexLookupIcon’ isn’t known

I realize that I am using a development version (not an official release) and I realize that I do not understand the error message, so feel free to close this bug as "INVALID" if appropriate.

I decided to file a bug report because I noticed that "cairo-dock-icon-manager.c" was edited recently.

Build log is attached.

Hello and thank you for this bug report!

Is it better with this patch? http://pastebin.com/336wuZbd

Ok, I think if found what's wrong: with older versions of GLib (< 2.32) we have to use a GStaticMutex instead of a GMutex
Can you try to compile (and launch) the latest rev from BZR (rev 1090)?

Compiling and launching with the latest rev is now working fine. Thank you for your time on this!

PS: I modify the version from 3.1.0-0alpha0 to 3.0.99.0alpha0. It can be interesting to modify to modify a few config files: simply compile and install the latest version from bzr (core and plug-ins), then quit the dock and launch this command:

   $ grep "3.1.0-0alpha0" ~/.config/cairo-dock/current_theme/launchers/*.desktop ~/.config/cairo-dock/current_theme/*.conf ~/.config/cairo-dock/.cairo-dock -l | xargs sed -i "s/3\.1\.0-/3.0.99./g"
