Resolved! Thanks a lot Hans for your assistance. It turned out the compilation failed with an error. I did not see the error as I was lazily running the do-everything magic update_from_git.sh script.
The error was complaining that stdpath_icon was not declared here (not in a function) in lib/standard-path.c. This little hack got me through the compilation - replacing (char **) stdpath_icon with empty string "". I'm sure this is not a fix :D but allowed me to proceed. Once compiled and run, I was able to use the new functionality of can-parent as described earlier. Thanks a lot everyone, I can't wait for a release :o) Kind regards, Rob On 2/14/2013, "Hans Breuer" <[email protected]> wrote: >At 13.02.2013 13:30, Robert Å evč Ãk (DIA) wrote: >> On 2/12/2013, "Hans Breuer"<[email protected]> wrote: >[...] >>>> Is it possible I missed something or is this supposed to work at all? >>>> >>> From your description I can not point out what is going wrong.

It did work with the file I modified myself as it was in essence the same. _______________________________________________ dia-list mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/dia-list FAQ at http://live.gnome.org/Dia/Faq Main page at http://live.gnome.org/Dia
