Description Hubert Figuiere 2008-08-19 16:43:47 UTC 
telepathy-glib 0.7.14 needs glib2 2.16

I get this error:

contacts-mixin.c:107: error: 'GHashTableIter' undeclared (first use in this function)

configure does not check for glib 2.16 that introducted 'GHashTableIter'. It should.
Comment 1 Simon McVittie 2008-08-20 06:58:42 UTC 
True. I'm not sure whether the correct fix here is to require GLib 2.16, or construct some sort of TpGHashTableIter (implemented as: iterate the hash table, stuff the keys into a GSList, iterate the GSList, an explicit call to tp_g_hash_table_iter_free will be required).
Comment 2 Mikhail Zabaluev 2008-08-20 07:16:05 UTC 
If the iteration is on tight code paths, I'd vote for 2.16.
Comment 3 Simon McVittie 2008-08-20 07:16:33 UTC 
Some useful information about a bunch of distros, to see whether we care about not supporting 2.14:

2.16 is in Ubuntu >= hardy <http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=all&searchon=names&keywords=libglib2.0-0>. hardy is LTS, so I think it's the oldest release we care about.

It will be in Debian lenny <http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=libglib2.0-0>, which I think is the oldest we care about.

Only 2.12 is in Maemo diablo <http://tablets-dev.nokia.com/4.1/4.1_vs_4.0.1_content_comparison.html>, but putting a telepathy-glib on a tablet is a backport of a system package in any case, so backporting GLib too isn't necessarily so bad...

2.16 is in Fedora 9 but not in Fedora 8 <https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/glib2>.

2.16 is in OpenSUSE 11 but not 10.3 <http://packages.opensuse-community.org/index.jsp?distro=openSUSE_110&searchTerm=glib2>.

It is the build on 10.3 that blew here.

Commit fcbb77 <http://git.collabora.co.uk/?p=telepathy-glib.git;a=commitdiff;h=fcbb772569ef26d8c27b2602c26e5d9121f75355> officially bumps the requirement to 2.16.

This will be in telepathy-glib 0.7.15, unless someone can explain why we should continue to support older versions of GLib (e.g. Fedora 8, Debian etch or OpenSuse 10.3 without a GLib backport).
