Created attachment 155868 [details] [review] Proposed patch
Thanks for your patch but I think it shouldn't be a blocker. This will be deprecated in 2.19, stable version is still 2.18. I think that even with the latest development version of gtk, you cannot remove all these macros, I don't see an urgency here. There is a similar bug in Anjuta (#597365) and it's still pending. Should we fix all these for 2.30 release ?
(In reply to comment #2) > Thanks for your patch but I think it shouldn't be a blocker. A blocker bug is described as "Blocks development and/or testing work" and as you can see here[1] GDL fails to build, making impossible to test the GNOME suite. I've always marked build failure bug as blocker. > This will be deprecated in 2.19, stable version is still 2.18. AFAIK GNOME 2.30 will be based on GTK+ 2.20 (stable). It's a common habit for modules in GNOME Desktop depends on "development" features; for example Nautilus or Epiphany 2.29 depends on GTK+ 2.19 for the new GtkSpinner API. But GDL is a library, so I understand you could waver to depend on latest GTK+ available. > I think that even with the latest development version of gtk, you cannot remove > all these macros See the proposed patch. > Should we fix all these for 2.30 release ? GDL have to build against modules that will be used in 2.30. I think you can choose between remove deprecated symbols and depend on latest GTK+ or activate deprecation flags in build (git checkout should build too). If so, please check recent thread on desktop-devel-list about proper usage of deprecation flags[2].

Thanks for these informations, I better understand the issue. I have removed all deprecation flags so it should work now but I cannot really check as I have only Gtk 2.18 here.
Marking as duplicate of the deprecation bug as this one will in the end be fixed when we have no more deprecated symbols. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 577469 ***
