OS: OpenSuSE Linux 12.2 CLAWS: 3.8.1 I just upgraded from 3.7.10 (which has been working great for months) to 3.8.1 and on startup I now get: ------------------ claws-mail WARNING: no socket to connect to claws-mail: symbol lookup error: claws-mail: undefined symbol: g_mutex_new ------------------ From development docs, I see that g_mutex_new is depreciated - but that typically means it's going away "eventually" - has it already been removed from its library? I need claws up ASAP, because months ago I converted all my mail, filters, etc. from KMAIL to CLAWS. HELP!!! Regards, Lyle
Additional OS Info: ------------------- uname -a Linux asrock 3.1.10-1.16-desktop #1 SMP PREEMPT Wed Jun 27 05:21:40 UTC 2012 (d016078) x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux -------------------
Can you provide your glib version? Also glib is upgraded to the latest version?
Yes, I had upgraded glib to the latest version. After submitting the bug report, I downgraded to glib to 2.15-22.6.4 in order to get claws working. So it looks like the latest version of glib did indeed eliminate g_mutex_new. I know this is not the solution I want - some other programs are "yelling" at me that I'm using a old version of glib and I "may" experience problems.
Created attachment 1168 [details] g_mutex_init, g_mutex_new Untested patch, it might fix your issue
Applied patch (no errors), did: make clean make make install All went O.K. Claws seems to work O.K w/old library Will try next with "new" glib
Salvatore: I don't understand how your patch works. It seems to be the thing to do, but the #if checks are reversed?
Also, if you allocate the mutex using g_new0, you need to g_free() it after g_mutex_clear().
Probably the best would be to provide wrapper functions in utils.[ch].
Created attachment 1169 [details] cm_mutex_init I didn't test it and yesterday it was a copy paste issue, i didn't notice that. The documentation says it's been introduced in 2.32.0 but I've seen it's not like that, seems to be available in 2.31.0 too. I've corrected it and moved everything into "utils" I didn't test it though, i'dd do a bit later
I'll hold off on further testing from "my end" until Salvatore completes his testing. In the meantime, I'll keep using the "old" libraries until then...
