Compile problems with inkscape-svn with libsigc++2.0

[Martinschmidts]

inkscape-svn 15898:

The namespace SigC has changed to sigc in libsigc++2.0.
This leads to compile errors in seltrans.h.
To fix this, a

sed -i 's/SigC\:\:Connection/sigc\:\:connection/g' seltrans.h

is sufficient.

This seems not includet in SVN16666.

It is building fine for me with libsigc++-2.0-dev => 2.0.17-2ubuntu2

Can anyone else confirm this error?

I ran into the same problem this morning, and I fixed it in (more-or-less) the same way vonHalenbach did - I used vi instead of sed, but same result.

Looking at http://svn.gnome.org/viewvc/libsigc%2B%2B2?view=revision&revision=285 it looks like the SigC compatibility was completely removed in 2.0.17.
But like Bryce, I'm actually fine with a 2.0.17 on my debian sid. I really don't know what's happening here.
Bryce, have you already tried to build with vonHalenbach patch?

[Bryce Harrington (bryce)]

The patch applied and built cleanly for me. I've applied it.
