libgnomedb @1.2.1: #error "Only <glib.h> can be included directly."

[c.herbig@…]

libgnomedb 1.2.1 fails on Mountain Lion (as far as I know) due to the following problems in the code:

P.S. This is in a +quartz environment, if that matters.

Another P.S. This port is quite out of date. The latest in ftp.gnome shows 3.99.7 (which might be a development version).

Replying to c.herbig@…:

:info:build #error "Only <glib.h> can be included directly."

That brings back memories! :) This is incompatible with glib 2.32 and up. We fixed the rest of this class of problems 17 months ago.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

I don't have time to look into whether updating the port to 3.0 or newer would be a problem for dependents, so I'm just updating it to 1.2.2, and fixing the glib 2.32 problem, in r110207.

I'm still not sure what the difference is between libgnomedb and the libgda project; if libgnomedb has been completely superseded by libgda or if it still exists as a compatibility layer or what. The project website did not do much to clarify since it mentions both in the downloads page. However, this isn't a huge deal since I am only tinkering with it to experiment with configuring Gnumeric with all of it's optional dependencies.
