There was a recent update to configure.ac:

configure: require GLib >= 2.28.1

I have a recent ubuntu and it has 2.26.x and so GIMP won't configure and build anymore. (Well, changing the 28 to 26 makes it "build", except there are 2 unresolved references, g_list_free_full, and g_slist_free_full. I don't suppose there's a workaround, huh? I wasn't wanting to build my own glib.

g_list_free full is a convenience function:

void g_list_free_full (GList *list, GDestroyNotify free_func) {
g_list_foreach (list, (GFunc) free_func, NULL); g_list_free (list);
}

and g_slist_free_full is about the same:

void g_slist_free_full (GSList *list, GDestroyNotify free_func) {
g_slist_foreach (list, (GFunc) free_func, NULL); g_slist_free (list);
}

That's going to be a lot of people having to build their own glib, and distributions having to upgrade their glib just for two convenience routines.

I just chatted up Mitch about this, we'll soon depend on gtk+-2.24 anyway so reverting the change that led up to this wouldn't help really.

Did you mean 2.28?

So I hope that soon would be past GIMP 2.8 so distributions can accept it without having to update glib. It would make it a lot easier to get in. For me not an issue, building glib is easy. I just worry about whether we're getting too far ahead of the rest of the world.
