current svn does not compile on current Debian 4.0 (etch)

[theAdib]

I have a current Debian Etch System with no backports. I loaded all the sources from svn.
./configure runs fine
make returns error on file.cpp
ui/dialog/ocaldialogs.h:247: error: expected class-name before ‘{’ token
ui/dialog/ocaldialogs.h: In constructor ‘Inkscape::UI::Dialog::FileListViewText::FileListViewText(guint, Inkscape::UI::Dialog::SVGPreview&, Gtk::Label&, Gtk::Button&)’:
ui/dialog/ocaldialogs.h:250: error: class ‘Inkscape::UI::Dialog::FileListViewText’ does not have any field named ‘ListViewText’

accoring to gtkmm description on http://www.gtkmm.org/docs/gtkmm-2.4/docs/reference/html/classGtk_1_1ListViewText.html
this function exists "Since gtkmm 2.10:" in Etch there is gtkmm 2.8 included

[Luca Bruno (lucab)]

So I think we just have to put a gtkmm >= 2.10 in configure.ac. But as I'm not sure how this work for other build system (ie. win32) and who decide the lib dep bump, I'd like to hear someone's comment before.

[theAdib (theadib)]

I would like to compile and run inkscape on that unmodified system.
What I can imagine is an additional compiler define USE_OCCAL that is enabled if gtkmm version is >=2.10. Similar to gnome-vfs, etc
I do not know configure scripts.
There is no issue on win32 as all the libs are delivered in one package.

[Ted Gould (ted)]

I'd like to also update it to 2.10. The reason is the printing stuff that Kees is working on will also require 2.10. I think that 0.46 will have to be 2.10 or higher.

I realize this is a problem for etch users, but I think there is too much good stuff in GTK+ 2.10...

[jazzynico (jazzynico)]

The 2.10 requirement has been set revision 4212 (new bzr revno).
Since Debian Lenny (and probably most GNU/Linux distros) now has gtkmm2.4 > 2.10, I think we can close this report fixed.
