Error: extra ';' in gtkmm statusicon.h

[Will]

Description: Ubuntu intrepid (development branch)
Release: 8.10

libgtkmm-2.4-dev:
  Installed: 1:2.14.1-0ubuntu1

When compiling an application using gtkmm, the build fails with the following errors:

In file included from /usr/include/gtkmm-2.4/gtkmm.h:150,
                 from hello.cpp:1:
/usr/include/gtkmm-2.4/gtkmm/statusicon.h:237: error: extra ';'
/usr/include/gtkmm-2.4/gtkmm/statusicon.h:239: error: extra ';'

At the top of this file it says: // Generated by gtkmmproc -- DO NOT MODIFY!
So it appears to be some sort of bug in gtkmmproc which generates this header.

Fixed in upstream svn with this commit:

2008-09-28 Murray Cumming <email address hidden>

 * gtk/src/statusicon.hg: Remove extra ;s. to fix
 warnings. Ubuntu Bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/275397
 (William)

This is probably just a problem when building with warnings as errors.

[Rich Wareham (richwareham)]

Since a fix has been committed to upstream, confirming the bug. Waiting for the fix to land in Ubuntu.

[Christoph Korn (c-korn)]

When is this bug going to be fixed?

[Xiyue Deng (manphiz)]

There are 2 upstream new releases since the commit. It should've already been fixed.

[Christoph Korn (c-korn)]

But when will it be released in ubuntu.

Intrepid would be nice :P

Still a problem in Ubuntu intrepid at this date, no updated libgtkmm available, 2.4 last version.

In file included from gtkcharpage.h:25,
                 from maingui.cc:20:
/usr/include/gtkmm-2.4/gtkmm/statusicon.h: At global scope:
/usr/include/gtkmm-2.4/gtkmm/statusicon.h:237: error: extra ‘;’
/usr/include/gtkmm-2.4/gtkmm/statusicon.h:239: error: extra ‘;’

when trying to compile last version of gtkevemon.

When are this bug going to be fixed and update released to us users ?

[Christoph Korn (c-korn)]

This bug should at least be milestoned for jaunty.

[Patrick (taishor)]

Solved my problem by uninstalling gtkmm, compile gtkmm 2.14.3 from http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/gtkmm/2.14/gtkmm-2.14.3.tar.gz, and now it works fine.

[Christoph Korn (c-korn)]

This fixes the problem.

Thanks.
