Pollin

[Nicholas Ewing Seafort <seafort yo fuh-q org>]

I'm sending this to both gtk-list and gnome-list in hopes that someone on
either or both will know what's going wrong.

This is a recent problem that's come up on my system...have never seen it
UNTIL the POLLIN information was placed into glib.h...meaning gtk+/glib
1.1.9 works fine, 1.1.11 and up break.

First:  Machine specs.
P166, 64 megs ram, slack3.4 originally, now using glibc2 and pgcc1.1.1
glib and gtk 1.1.12 now, off the ftp, both ftp nor CVS versions have this
problem.  gnome-libs, gnome-core, gnome-objc, you name it, all fail.

ooooooooooh.  icky.  following is the area of the problem:

typedef enum
{
  G_IO_IN       GLIB_SYSDEF_POLLIN,
  G_IO_OUT      GLIB_SYSDEF_POLLOUT,
  G_IO_PRI      GLIB_SYSDEF_POLLPRI,
  G_IO_ERR      GLIB_SYSDEF_POLLERR,
  G_IO_HUP      GLIB_SYSDEF_POLLHUP,
  G_IO_NVAL     GLIB_SYSDEF_POLLNVAL
} GIOCondition;


I'd say it looks right, unfortunately the extent of my programming skills
consists of a very basic hello world program.  

This was built under kernel version 2.2.0pre4ac2, but was also showing the
same problems under 2.0.36.

Any ideas?  or do I just downgrade to glib/gtk 1.1.9 and live in the past.

Thanks for any replies you can come up with.
