(Not) compiling 0.13

[Florian Hars <fm5a014 math uni-hamburg de>]

I spent the lase evening with an attempt to complile gnome-0.13. I grabbed
gtk+-0.99.5, Imlib-1.1 and mico-2.0.4 and installed these. Here is what
happened after that:

gnome-libs: compiled ok.

gnome-core: The panel wouldn't compile. First I had to add another
swap-partition, then some older version number of mico was hard-coded into
Makefile.in. Finally I gave up when it said something like:
mico-c++ -g -O2 -o panel drawer.o gdkextra.o main.o menu.o mico-glue.o
mico-parse.o panel.o panel_config.o panel_config_global.o panel-widget.o
gnome-panel.o -L/usr/local/lib -lmicocoss2.0.4 -lmicoaux2.0.4 -lmico2.0.4
-lXt -lgnomeui -lgnome -lgnomesupport -ldl -lgdk_imlib -ltiff -ljpeg -lpng
-lz -lgtk -lgdk -lglib -lm -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lSM -lICE -lX11 -lXext
mico-glue.o: In function panel_corba_gtk_main':
/opt/src/gnome-core-0.13/panel/mico-glue.cc:90: undefined reference to `GtkDispatcher::GtkDispatcher(void)'
mico-glue.o: In function `send_applet_session_save':
/opt/src/gnome-core-0.13/panel/mico-glue.cc:103: undefined reference to `L155720'
(some similar lines)
mico-glue.o: In function `send_applet_session_save':
/usr/local/include/mico/var.h:79: undefined reference to `L155741'
(...)
mico-parse.o: In function
`ObjWrapper<CORBA::TypeCode>::duplicate(CORBA::TypeCod
e *)':
/usr/local/include/mico/template_impl.h:48: undefined reference to `L155135'
(etc...)

The rest compiled, but all I ever got from gnome-help-browser was
after waiting for several seconds:

Unable to open /usr/local/share/gnome/help/help-browser/de_DE.88591/topic.dat
E: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)
IOT trap/Abort

Changing the Language to C removes the first message, but it doesn't help.

gnome-utils: The README says that it needs gnome-guile, which isn't in
0.13. But it failed for a different reason:

gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -I/usr/local/include

gnome-graphics: compiled ok and runs (but I didn't find the keyboard
shortcut for quit)

gnome-objc: compiled ok, but gnome-games failed with
gcc -g -O2 -o phaser_chess board_view.o coord_list.o logical_board.o

As far as I have tested, I have only one working program from the whole
distribution, and I don't like it's UI.
