Compiling gvfs-open.c : GVFS_LOCALEDIR undeclared error

[Håkon Hægland <hakon hagland gmail com>]

Hi. I am trying to compile gvfs-open.c after cloning the git repo

(git://git.gnome.org/gvfs). I am on Ubuntu 16.04. 

$ uname -a

Linux hakon-ThinkPad-Edge-E540 4.4.0-22-generic #40-Ubuntu SMP Thu May 12 22:03:46 UTC 2016 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I first run ./autogen.sh, then ./configure --prefix=my_custom_dir. ( I also did "make" and "make install" to check that everything worked )

Then I installed the most recent version of glib, and after that I copied 

config.h

programs/gvs-open.c 

to a custom directory and tried to compile gvfs-open.c using gcc :

LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$GLIB_DIR/lib" gcc gvfs-open.c -I"$GLIB_DIR/include/glib-2.0" \

 -I"$GLIB_DIR/lib/glib-2.0/include/" -I"$GLIB_DIR/include/gio-unix-2.0" -I./ \

 -o gvfs-open -lglib-2.0

where "$GLIB_DIR" is the directory where I installed glib.

The error message from gcc is:

gvfs-open.c: In function ‘main’:

gvfs-open.c:119:36: error: ‘GVFS_LOCALEDIR’ undeclared (first use in this function)

   bindtextdomain (GETTEXT_PACKAGE, GVFS_LOCALEDIR);

                                    ^

gvfs-open.c:119:36: note: each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each function it appears in

Unfortunately, I have no clue why GVFS_LOCALEDIR is undeclared. Maybe it should be defined in config.h ? Any suggestions are appreciated.

Best regards,
