Older system compiler errors

[kon16ov]

Good morning!

On my main system, everything is happy and I am a big fan of this program and it ties up many CPU cycles.

On my older system, it won't run from the straight install, claiming it wants GLIBC_2.11 (when apt-getting, the repositories tell me that I have the latest of all things listed in the readme), so I try to compile it.  In doing so, I get this:

Code:

g++ -O2 -ffast-math -Wall -c -fmessage-length=0 `pkg-config --cflags gtk+-2.0 gthread-2.0;` -MMD -MP -MF"interface.d" -MT"interface.d" -o"interface.o" "../interface.cpp"
../interface.cpp: In function ‘void CreateInterface(sParamRender*)’:
../interface.cpp:902: error: ‘gtk_widget_get_allocation’ was not declared in this scope
make: *** [interface.o] Error 1

It's running kernel 2.6.28-11 and GCC v4.3.3.  Are there some specific libs I'm missing? Having stepped into the "evils" of Mono/.Net, my linking/compiling skills in C++ have...deteriorated...meaning it's been close to a decade and I'm feeling...lost. 

Any thoughts?

Thanks!

I'm guessing you're using Debian. I booted into Debian and found the same problem.

Debian being Debian, is using quite an old GTK version, and that particular version does not have the gtk_widget_get_allocation function. However, with this old version you don't need the function for Mandelbulber to access the data it needs.

So we can change this:

Code:

GtkAllocation scrollBarAllocation;
gtk_widget_get_allocation (hscrollbar,&scrollBarAllocation);
scrollbarSize = scrollBarAllocation.height;

to this:

Code:

scrollbarSize = hscrollbar->allocation.height;

And we're ready to go!  

OR

Download the patch (see attachment), and copy it into the top-level mandelbulber0.93/ directory and then apply it:

Code:

patch  -p1 < mandelbulber0.93_debian_lenny.patch.txt

Bingo!  The patch worked!  Thank you so much. 

Actually, the system is running LinuxMint7, which would be Ubuntu8.04 or some such, I believe.  Just got the "end of life" announcement on it.  D'oh.

Ah, well.  Again, thank you for your help!

Thank you for reporting this problem. Unfortunately I have found this post just after release of new version. I will change it in next version.

Sorry about the timing... still, with a known fix, for now, that's OK for me until the release that has that fix.

This maybe should be a different/new thread, but I'm going to kick 0.94 to see if it does something similar.  Basically, in the View/3D Explorer, when I set the first keyframe, it wonks up the palette that I had assigned back to a random w/speed of 2 rather than custom w/speed of 0.75, and then, after about three keyframes, I rotate and walk in and *boom!* it's a sponge.  It started off as a 'Bulb.  Again, I'll poke it, again, with the new version and if it's still in there, I'll try to be more specific.

Great proggie!  Keep up the great work!
