gtkmm-related compilation error on Debian 5.0

[Jesper Öqvist]

I get this error while trying to compile on Debian Lenny:

interface.cpp: In function ‘void injectRenamedIcons()’:
interface.cpp:1622: error: no matching function for call to ‘Gtk::IconTheme::load_icon(Glib::ustring&, int)’
/usr/include/gtkmm-2.4/gtkmm/icontheme.h:336: note: candidates are: Glib::RefPtr<Gdk::Pixbuf> Gtk::IconTheme::load_icon(const Glib::ustring&, int, Gtk::IconLookupFlags) const

My gtkmm version:

$ aptitude show libgtkmm-2.4-dev
Package: libgtkmm-2.4-dev
New: yes
State: installed
Automatically installed: no
Version: 1:2.12.7-1

The problem seems to be that I'm using a problematic version of gtkmm. Which version am I supposed to compile with?

@JonCruz - can you answer this? The code in question was added in revision 9939:
<http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~inkscape.dev/inkscape/trunk/revision/9939>

That call was added in gtkmm 2.4, so the version itself seems ok.

The method is declared with a default value on a third parameter. The message you are getting would indicate that you version does not have that default value, or is otherwise confused.

http://library.gnome.org/devel/gtkmm/unstable/classGtk_1_1IconTheme.html#a9e9307cefa458eea1e8946d9def2e527

A work-around could be to add a third parameter as

    Glib::RefPtr<Gdk::Pixbuf> pb = iconTheme->load_icon( it->second, *it2, static_cast<Gtk::IconLookupFlags>(0) );

Is this still a problem and the bug in progress?
