Description Fabiano Fidêncio 2012-10-19 10:40:13 UTC 
According with https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=686161, g_type_init is no longer required and its use causes:
gst.c:549:3: error: 'g_type_init' is deprecated (declared at /home/fidencio/dev/include/glib-2.0/gobject/gtype.h:669) [-Werror=deprecated-declarations]
Comment 1 Olivier Crête 2012-10-19 15:39:05 UTC 
We should instead #define GLIB_VERSION_MIN_REQUIRED and GLIB_VERSION_MAX_ALLOWED to 2.32.
Comment 2 Tim-Philipp Müller 2012-10-20 11:45:27 UTC 
Not sure we want to set GLIB_VERSION_MAX_ALLOWED - we may still want to use newer functions conditionally with #if GLIB_CHECK_VERSION...

    g_type_init() is no longer required and deprecated in glib >= 2.35.0

Dunno about the GLIB_VERSION_MIN_REQUIRED, I think it mostly makes sense for releases, but there it's not needed, since we don't use -Werror for releases, and any warnings don't hurt.

For git we still want warnings so we can fix stuff, I think, rather than suppress the warnings.
