Hello,
what is the reason for this change? Because of the high Glib req mc does not work on several enterprise Linux versions (SLES9, ...).
Bye

Replying to tammer:
what is the reason for this change?
g_try_new, g_try_new0, g_try_malloc0 macros are available in Glib since 2.8
Because of the high Glib req mc does not work on several enterprise Linux versions (SLES9, ...).
glib-2.8 was released in August 2005. 4.5 years ago.

Hello,
glib-2.8 is OK for AIX 5.2/5.3/6.1 (max version, IBM does not provide a newer version) and SLES10. Also SLES9 only supports glib-2.2.

tammer, we have build-glib2.sh script especially for older systems.
Fo example, RPM-package for CentOS-4 builds with this script...

This script has nothing to do with CentOS 4. The packages are built using conditionals in the SPEC. If think it even does not work, unless you tried it and can confirm this.
Created branch 1980_glib_version. Parent branch is master.
