[gnet] gnet library 1.1.7 doesn't compile under RH 8.0

[Richard Freeman <rich hotgrits co uk>]

Hi folks,

I don't subscribe to the list, so please copy me on any replies.

I'm trying to compile gnet library 1.1.7 from tar.gz file. I run
configure with no options set at all and run make and I get this error:

gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -DG_LOG_DOMAIN=\"GNet\"

However, if I do ./configure --enable-glib2 then it compiles without a
problem. The main problem is that I then try to this a GTK 1.2 app
against the library and it crashes (ed2k GUI). I've spoken to the author
of the program and they are blaming it on the glib2 part of my
gnetlibrary compile. I was able to get it working on RH 7.3 just fine, I
didn't need glib2 and everything worked well.

I assume we've got an issue with gcc 3.2 here then??

Cheers,
