[Gtk2hs-devel] c2hs chocking on glib gmessages.h

[Cesare T. <nor...@al...>]

Dear all,

we have a failure to build from source in Ubuntu 7.10.
This seems caused by c2hs chocking on the glib header file gmessages.h:

.
./tools/c2hs/c2hsLocal +RTS -RTS -C-I/usr/include/glib-2.0
-C-I/usr/lib/glib-2.0/include --cppopts='-include "gtk2hs-config.h"'
--precomp=glib/glib.precomp glib-object.h

.

The relevant line in gmessages.h is:

__attribute__((visibility("hidden"))) void _g_log_fallback_handler

I'm wondering if you were already aware of this, apparently one of the
changelog entry for 0.9.12 is:

>>c2hs no longer chokes on some system headers (eg glibc-2.4)

Any light you can shed will be highly appreciated.
