WARNING: rss-glib is required for RSS viewer functionality #257

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Ubuntu 13.10 64 bits
transmission-remote-gtk last git version

I have installed the libraries libgrss-dev and libmrss0-dev, but when I 
configure it shows the warning: "rss-glib is required for RSS viewer 
functionality"
What's the required library?

rss-glib, not libgrss.

But this project hasn't updated since 5 years ago! Moreover, it uses MONO! 
Do you think is a good idea use this old wrapper?

It doesn't use mono, it's a C library. You are probably referring to the 
bindings, which are not used.

I've looked at the wrapper code and it seems well written to me. I don't think 
that being 5 years old on its own is a bad thing, and RSS hasn't changed much. 
libgrss requires libsoup, which I don't really want.

There's a small build issue, that it uses deprecated G_CONST_RETURN macros. 
Either search and replace them for "const" or remove the -DG_DISABLE_DEPRECATED 
line in rss-glib/Makefile.am. Other than this, and a warning about use of 
g_type_init, it compiles cleanly and seems fine.

As the wrapper is a small amount of code I may just bundle it sometime, and fix 
any issues as needed.

I can't compile it:

./configure: line 14053: syntax error near unexpected token `1.8'
./configure: line 14053: `GTK_DOC_CHECK(1.8)'
