Building Gelide in Ubuntu 18.04?

  • 772

I did a clean install of 18.04, and now I'm unable to build the emulator frontend Gelide. It has some very old gtk dependencies, and I can no longer downgrade to them. The code looks like it uses some deprecated static methods, and the non-static alternatives don't return the same type. Is there anyone who is familiar enough with gtk to help make the changes necessary to get it to build? Here's the repo: https://github.com/tapule/Gelide

Thanks.

  1. At first we need to install build-tools and dependencies

    sudo apt-get install git build-essential autoconf libtool automake intltool \
libtool-bin libglib2.0-dev libgtkmm-2.4-dev libxml2-dev gnome-doc-utils \
rarian-compat

    Then clone repository

    cd ~/Downloads
git clone https://github.com/tapule/Gelide.git

    Configure source and compile it:

    cd Gelide/
./autogen.sh
make

    This step fails on clean 18.04 LTS I get errors on last stage:

    config.cpp: In constructor ‘CConfig::CConfig()’:
config.cpp:31:16: error: ‘build_filename’ is not a member of ‘Glib’
  l_cfg = Glib::build_filename(utils::getGelideDir(), GELIDE_CFG_FILE);
                ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~
config.cpp:33:11: error: ‘file_test’ is not a member of ‘Glib’
  if(Glib::file_test(l_cfg, Glib::FILE_TEST_EXISTS))
           ^~~~~~~~~
config.cpp:33:34: error: ‘FILE_TEST_EXISTS’ is not a member of ‘Glib’
  if(Glib::file_test(l_cfg, Glib::FILE_TEST_EXISTS))
                                  ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
config.cpp: In destructor ‘virtual CConfig::~CConfig()’:
config.cpp:40:13: error: ‘build_filename’ is not a member of ‘Glib’
  save(Glib::build_filename(utils::getGelideDir(), GELIDE_CFG_FILE));
             ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    So some patch for this code is needed. I reported bug to developer.

    But on 16.04 LTS I can move further:

    sudo make install

    Running it with gelide results in great screeshot:

    Gelide on 16.04 LTS
