Has anyone managed to compile GG from source, on OS 12?
This is an allegedly dead project but I would still like to compile and run it.
I’m referring to the source code from here:
google-gadgets-for-linux - An open-source implementation of Google Gadgets platform for Linux. - Google Project Hosting
When making, having loaded all dependencies I get an error in …/third_party/unzip/unzip.c with the libunzip library.
In particular:

Thanks. I’ve tried this source and it still doesn’t compile I’m afraid.
It’s not an error in configure but in the C/source compilation:
../../../third_party/unzip/zip.c:884:28: error: assignment from incompatible pointer type -Werror]
cc1: all warnings being treated as errors
make[3]: *** [libunzip_la-zip.lo] Error 1
Same error as before.

That’s not necessarily a code problem, that’s a config problem in the
makefile. Try disabling the -Werror switch (I think that’s the one
that’s making all warnings be treated as errors).

Thanks, I’ve removed the
-Werror
switch from the
DEFAULT_COMPILE_FLAGS
in the Makefile. I still get the error during compilation.
Is there another switch I should pass to
make
?

Can you show the specific output you now get? That switch should have
changed the output IIRC, so you should have gotten a different error (or
at least different output).
Incompatible pointers are not supposed to be fatal - because a pointer is
just a reference to a memory address, and the data types may not be
exactly what is declared, but usually it doesn’t cause a problem.

Same pointer error I believe.

Hi
Add the --disable-werror to the configure flags…
../configure --disable-werror --disable-static
Then you will need to work on gcc4.7 porting and glib.h errors…
https://launchpad.net/~createsc/+archive/3beol/+sourcepub/2819550/+listing-archive-extra
Grab the google-gadgets_0.11.2-6~quantal1202~3beol.debian.tar.xz
file…

Yep, and same cause - the warning is being treated as an error. Malcolm’s
solution should solve it.

Right thanks.
As suggested, using this source:
https://launchpad.net/~createsc/+archive/3beol/+files/google-gadgets_0.11.2-6~quantal1202~3beol.debian.tar.xz
from
https://launchpad.net/~createsc/+archive/3beol/+sourcepub/2819550/+listing-archive-extra
I patched three files prior to Configuring. These were gcc-4.7.diff, glib_includes.diff and nm09.patch in the source dirs using the /debian/patch dir.
Had to run Configure with these arguments:
$ …/configure --prefix=/usr --libdir=/usr/lib64 --with-browser-plugins-dir=/usr/lib64/browser-plugins --disable-werror --disable-static
So it’s working on OS12 now. Thanks a bunch.
But one further thing, there are only a handful of weak/poor gadgets included. Is this because the project is no longer active? What I’m trying to ask is, did Google originally distribute all gadgets or am I supposed to get/copy add-ons from elsewhere?
