The problem there, as mentioned elsewhere (maybe on the bug not the
thread?) is that glib 2.12 and below is different again, and doesn't
include glib.h.
So including gmessages.h works up thru 2.14 but not for 2.16, including
glib.h works for 2.14 and 2.16 but not 2.12 and previous, and including
gtestutils.h works for 2.16. None of the above work for the entire range
from 2.4, the apparent previous minimum required (according to Gentoo's
dependencies anyway, I don't know of anyone actually using that far
back), thru 2.16 and potentially forward.
well this wouldn't be difficult to fix in gentoo since the ebuild could see what version is installed and apply a patch for fixing the includes based on the installed version of glib. the other distros might need another way to fix this up, though.
