Re: garnome-2.10.0: adding volume control to panel fails

Thanks, Ivan.  You are "dead on".  I had missed one of the two. I
rebuilt and reinstalled glib and gtk+ and now things are "better".

For those on the list who are wondering what we are talking about, take
a look at:

	http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=169996

which says:

        "Even though 2.10.0 is stable, compiling gtk+ with
        --disable-debug will remove all typechecks from gtk+ and make
        slightly buggy apps (like evo) crash hard instead of emitting
        warnings."

A scan of garnome-2.8.3 tree finds five Makefiles with corrections.
These are:

[ignore any line wrap]

./fifth-toe/gaim/Makefile
CONFIGURE_ARGS := $(shell echo $(CONFIGURE_ARGS) | sed 's,--enable-debug,,')

./desktop/evolution/Makefile
CONFIGURE_ARGS := $(shell echo $(CONFIGURE_ARGS) | sed 's,--disable-debug,--enable-debug,')

./desktop/evolution-data-server/Makefile
CONFIGURE_ARGS := $(shell echo $(CONFIGURE_ARGS) | sed 's,--disable-debug,--enable-debug,')

./platform/glib/Makefile
CONFIGURE_ARGS := $(shell echo $(CONFIGURE_ARGS) | sed 's,--disable-debug,--enable-debug=minimal,')

./platform/gtk+/Makefile
CONFIGURE_ARGS := $(shell echo $(CONFIGURE_ARGS) | sed 's,--disable-debug,--enable-debug=minimal,')


Check your Makefiles in garnome-2.10.0 and edit according. 

If you find a Makefile that requires change, 
* edit the makefile,
* run "make clean" 
* run "make install > make_install.log 2>&1 &"
* test
