Hi
Tried compiling the master branch on debian squeeze (old-stable), and
ran into problems:
<snip>
make[4]: Entering directory `/root/dbmailHEAD/dbmail/src/modules'
/bin/bash ../../libtool --tag=CC --mode=compile gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I.

</snip>
From what I can tell the problem is the libglib version.
Debian squeeze has libglib2.0-dev version 2.24
I created a small test program:
#include "glib.h"
void main(){
typedef struct {
GMutex m;
} Blob;
Blob *b;
b = g_new (Blob, 1);
g_mutex_init (&b->m);
}
And compiled it:
# gcc `pkg-config --cflags --libs glib-2.0` test.c
test.c: In function ‘main’:
test.c:6: error: field ‘m’ has incomplete type
Then tried it on debian wheezy (current stable) which has libglib2.0-dev
2.33
And this test file compiles fine, no errors.
According to
https://developer.gnome.org/glib/unstable/glib-Threads.html#g-mutex-init
g_mutex_init () function is available "Since 2.32"
Could the INSTALL file (which says "Glib (>= 2.16)" is required) and
appropriate configure scripts be updated to reflect this dependency?
There was a bug created for this back in 02-Oct-12 by someone else, but
it was closed without looking into (bug #990). It might be nice to
update this bug with a resolution for other google searchers with the
same problem.
