Compile problem on Mandriva 2006

[roger]

Hi Anders,

I would say that you can get similar error messages when there is a bad 
"#define" somewhere.
e.g.	#define my_type	"Hello"
	...
	void	my_function (my_type p);

Is the problem only with xfce 4.2.3.2 - did you manage to compile a previous 
xfce release?

Anyway, I've compiled xfce-4.2.3.2 on my Mandriva 2006 system (gcc 4.0.1, gtk 
2.8.3) with success.
Here is how I've done it:
1 - dbh 1.0.24 rpm downloaded from Contrib
2 - the rest of xfce compiled from source, installed in /usr/local (except for 
gtk-xfce-engine installed in /usr):
	 installDir=/usr/local
	GTKinstallDir=/usr
	export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$installDir/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/lib/pkgconfig
	export CFLAGS='-march=pentium4 -O3'	# (or whatever you have/want)
	for each xfce component (except the gtk engine)
		configure --prefix=$installDir --datadir=$installDir/share 
--sysconfdir=$installDir/etc/X11
		make && make check && make install
	for gtk-xfce-engine
		did the same after having replaced installDir by GTKinstallDir

Cheers,
Roger
