Category: None Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Nate Muench (n-minker) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: open-vm-tools fails to build with glib 2.31 and later Initial Comment: Hello, I'm preparing packaging for open-vm-tools for Ubuntu (I'm doing the preliminary work on the October release, and adding November after everything works). I've hit a snag, apparently the October (and November) releases do not build successfully against glib 2.31 or later because of depreciated declarations. I've attached a partial patch (I'll tell you why it's incomplete in a moment) I've been working on (to fix this). As well as 2 build failure logs. Failure 1 has been fixed in the first section of the patch. Failure 2 is where I'm currently stuck at. After deleting the problem line from Failure 2 (the only purpose is see where other problems occurred), I have noticed problem with /services/vmtoolsd/threadPool.c at line 445. This is where I'm stuck at. I don't have very good programming skill, so I'm using this page (http://developer.gnome.org/glib/2.31/glib-Deprecated-Thread-APIs.html) for fixes. I'm doing the best I can. I would like a better patch (which I can just add to the branch I'm working with/on) or new packaging (which I can just merge with my packaging). Now with my build logs.
