Hi Dave,
Yes, these commands were copy and pasted directly from the Makefile. I wouldn't trust myself to type it correctly.
I've been using the same Makefile for about 6 months or more. In fact, the program was compiled a day before I had to replace the hard drive.
The only reason I recompiled was to make sure I still could after reinstalling Ubuntu. Oh, how surprised I was.
The first batch of errors are:
main.c: In function ‘main’:

etc... ending with...
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [x] Error 1
The above is a direct copy and paste EXCEPT that I removed the directory structure preceding '/main.c' on each line, and changed
the program name to 'x' in the last line.
All in all, there's 1749 lines of this. I painstakingly went through it and except the 1st, rather trivial error, they're all of the same nature.
The first error was not picked up with my previous install. I suspect I now have a slightly newer gcc that is more thorough.
I do wonder whether the Ubuntu repository has changed content, or maybe I forgot that I originally installed something else.
Seems odd though, as things like g_malloc0 and g_free are so fundamental, I would've thought it would be in libgtk2.0-dev.
As I said in a previous email, I installed libgtk-3-dev first, got all these errors, then installed libgtk2.0-dev as well.
When that didn't work, I tried
sudo aptitude remove libgtk-3-dev and tried to compile with gtk2. When that still did the same
thing, I went back an did
sudo aptitude install libgtk-3-dev again, figuring that having more libraries increases my chances of success (sign of a desperate man).
My (possibly faulty) understanding is that aptitude carefully keeps track of what is installed and all dependencies, so you get nice clean installs and removals.
Thanks for taking a look Dave.

This looks good.
So, (1) Are these flags actually used in the compilation – check the
actual
command printed by make. I can see your Makefile variables are
called CCFLAGS and LIBS instead of the more usual CFLAGS and LDFLAGS,
however, if they are consistently called like this it is not a problem.
(2) What are the *first* errors you get after cleaning the source tree
and running make? Failing to link is often caused by some previous
problems; do you really get only linker errors and no errors from
earlier compilation stages?
