MeeCast fails to compile for SailfishOS < 3.3.0

MeeCast-Daemon fails to compile for SailfishOS < 4.2.0

Fixed. Try it

Thank you very much, I let the Sailfish-OBS try it: Nice, it now also compiles on / for SailfishOS 3.3.0 to 4.1.0. :smiley:

On SailfishOS 3.1.0 to 3.2.1 the compilation now exits with this error:

[  100s] src/meego-main.cpp:662:30: error: 'class Json::Value' has no member named 'asString'
[  100s]      if (val.get("sunset","").asString() != ""){

This is in lines 662 and 663 of omweather-fmi-fi-stations-db/src/meego-main.cpp. Again, git blame shows this code as unaltered for 9 years (i.e. since long before SailfishOS 3.1.0), but OBS is known to be picky.

Please mind, that it is nice to restore the compilation for old SailfishOS releases (e.g. I am still using SailfishOS 3.2.1 on my Xperia X), but IMO it is not worth putting a lot of work into this, because there will be only very few users. OTOH if it is easy, please do it (then I can use a current MeeCast on my Xperia X, again).

Fixed. Please try to build this version

Thanks! Builds fine now for all SailfishOS releases supported by Sailfish-OBS and hence also the SailfishOS:Chum repository, see https://build.sailfishos.org/package/show/home:olf:MeeCast/MeeCast

I am in the process of updating the spec file (not ready yet!), see PR-draft #57.
