Public bug reported:
GStaticMutex is deprecated (a long time) [1][2]
gcc-9 with Werror detectas and breaks on this as an error nowadays:
fileLogger.c: In function ‘FileLoggerLog’:
fileLogger.c:351:13: error: Deprecated pre-processor symbol [-Werror]
351 | g_static_mutex_lock(&logger->lock);
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
sysLogger.c: In function ‘SysLoggerUnref’:
sysLogger.c:108:13: error: Deprecated pre-processor symbol [-Werror]
108 | g_static_mutex_lock(&gSysLoggerLock);
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Upstream is close to v11, but the github content has nothing yet :-/.
This should be mostly a global search and replace with some extra thought on
the places the locks are initialized.
