building wf-shell gets errors

[caijw]

I try to build wf-shell and get some errors:

~/Documents/code/wayfire_project/wf-shell(master*) » meson build --prefix=$prefix && ninja -C build && ninja -C build install

Directory already configured.

Just run your build command (e.g. ninja) and Meson will regenerate as necessary.
If ninja fails, run "ninja reconfigure" or "meson --reconfigure"
to force Meson to regenerate.

If build failures persist, run "meson setup --wipe" to rebuild from scratch
using the same options as passed when configuring the build.
To change option values, run "meson configure" instead.

Is there any wrong?

[ammen99]

which version of gtk are you using?

[caijw]

How can i find out the gtk version when building wf-shell ?

[ammen99]

How did you install gtk? If via package manager you should be able to find the information there.

[caijw]

run dpkg -l libgtk2.0-0 libgtk-3-0
and get this.

This error happens when attempting to build against gtk 3.22 instead of 3.24. The build system should be updated since it uses a function only found in 3.24.

[ammen99]

Yeah @soreau is right, I pushed a commit to master which bumps the dependency version to 3.24
