Upgrade Guichan dependency to version 0.8.1

[Thorbjørn Lindeijer]

Guichan 0.8.1 has been out for a while and it would be nice if distributions would pick it up. Sear is one of the applications included in for example Debian and Ubuntu that are still using an older version of Guichan (0.7.2 in Ubuntu).

Versions of Guichan before 0.8.1 lacked decent soname support, which makes it problematic to have multiple versions installed alongside eachother, according to my knowledge.

Note that I have already upgraded The Mana World to use Guichan 0.8.1 a while ago. Hence I will see if I can make a patch against Sear.

[Thorbjørn Lindeijer (thorbjorn)]

First I had to fix the Guichan configure check to run in C++ instead of C mode. Patch attached.

[Thorbjørn Lindeijer (thorbjorn)]

The attached patch ports Sear to Guichan 0.8.0 or higher. I have tested it only briefly. Required changes were only renames:

isMarked -> isSelected
setMarked -> setSelected
getBorderSize -> getFrameSize
setBorderSize -> setFrameSize

Thanks for the patches. I will push them to the repository once I got around to test them.

Has this patch been accepted at some point? This bug is still open and assigned to me. Would be nice if I could close it. :-)

The developer of Sear hasn't been around for some time, and I think progress is no longer being made. It's possible the project has been abandoned, or perhaps if we are very lucky he will work on it again.

Ok, thanks for the update.

The git version of Sear includes this patch. Unfortunately I've not
had enough free time to be able to produce a release with it in. This
situation does not appear to be likely to change any time soon either.
