[gtkmm] gtkmm compilation problem: gboolean stuff in treeview.cc

[Pierric Descamps <pierric descamps net>]

Hi,

I didn't succeed in compiling gtkmm. I have Gtk+ 2.2.2 on an old Slackware 8.0
and I've tried to compile gtkmm 2.0.0, 2.0.2, and 2.2.8. In any case, I get
the following error:

Note (if it's of any help) that everything concerning Gnome2 on my system has
been compiled from the sources, no package here.
Of course I tried some research and the only piece of information I found was
this message, for someone who had the same problem with Gtk 2.2.0 and gtkmm
2.0.2:
---
Please see the gtkmm 2.1.2 release notes. GTK+ broke its API slightly.
gtkmm2 was one of the few projects affected. You could use gtkmm 2.2 or
GTK+ 2.0, but not both.
---
I wasn't sure of the meaning of the last sentence: should I install a new Gtk
version, or a new gtkmm version? As for gtkmm, I had already tried 2.0 and
2.2. Concerning Gtk+, I decided to install the unstable, 2.3 version. But it
looks like I need Xft for that, and my X server is too old, so I'll have to do
without.

To be honest, I'm quite lost here. My goal is too be able to generate a gtkmm2
project with the Anjuta2 IDE, use glade to build the interface, and then
compile the program correctly. Can you help me? If I forgot any useful
information, please tell me, I'll try to be fast at answering.

Thanks in advance,
Pierric Descamps.
