compiling gnome 0.27? here is some help.

[Moses DeJong <dejong cs umn edu>]

It took 2 days but I finally got gimp 0.27 compiled. I know this is a
developer release but that was much too difficult. At any rate, here are
my notes and the commands I used to get the whole thing compiled. I hope
this will help others who are having problems compiling this release.

COMPILER ERROR : linking gdialog/gdialog
checklist.o: In function `dialog_checklist':
checklist.o(.text+0x9b3): undefined reference to `mouse_setbase'
checklist.o(.text+0xe61): undefined reference to `mouse_mkbigregion'

to fix this I added empty definitions of the functions to mouse.c
that would be read if WITH_GPM was not defined like so.

#else /*if WITH_GPM is not defined*/
 
void mouse_open (void) {}; 
void mouse_close (void) {}; 
void mouse_mkregion (int y, int x, int height, int width, int code) {}; 
void mouse_mkbigregion (int y, int x, int height, int width, int nitems, int th, int mode) {};
