Comment 1 Wouter Bolsterlee (uws) 2008-01-17 16:32:59 UTC 
Nevermind, some breakage with autotools over here... clean checkout + autogen.sh "fixed" it.
Comment 2 Matthew Barnes 2008-01-18 01:26:22 UTC 
I'm still seeing this error, even after a fresh checkout.  I'm compiling against GLib 2.15.2.  Is it possible I need a more recent GLib from trunk?
Comment 3 Dan Winship 2008-01-18 02:12:14 UTC 
Yes, you need glib from svn. AM_PATH_GLIB_2_0 didn't know about gio in 2.15.2.
Comment 4 Matthew Barnes 2008-01-18 04:05:51 UTC 
Perhaps libsoup should require GLib 2.15.3 then instead of 2.15.0.
GLib in trunk has the version bumped to 2.15.3 already.
Comment 5 Matthew Barnes 2008-01-18 04:47:11 UTC 
Reopening until comment #4 is addressed.

Just don't want this to fall off the radar.

Please let me know if I should bump the glib req in configure.ac.
Comment 7 Dan Winship 2008-01-18 14:56:03 UTC 
fixed in svn
Comment 8 Levente Farkas 2009-02-17 20:40:28 UTC 
does this means libsoup can't be compiled on rhel/centos-5? since there is only glib-1.2.10-20.el5 and no gio on it. it can't be done in a conditional build (ie. if it's not installed don't use them)?
Comment 9 Dan Winship 2009-02-17 21:07:47 UTC 
You want to be looking at the glib2 package version, not glib. But yes, if you use a sufficiently-old Linux distro, there won't be a new-enough glib. If you want to compile recent libsoup on those platforms, you'll have to compile recent glib as well.
