Ah, rats!

So it's GObject that's old on your system (Gtk might be too, but it's
not complaining about that).=C2=A0=C2=A0What platform are you building on?

There are two ways of solving it that I can see:

=C2=A01) Increase the version number of GLib required by pcb.=C2=A0=C2=A0(A=
dd a check
=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0into the autotools stuff for this.)

=C2=A02) Rewrite to support older glib version.=C2=A0=C2=A0This can be comb=
ined with
=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0the use of the GLIB_VERSION_MAX_ALLOWED [1] #define=
 to ensure that
=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0it doesn't use any newer features.

Obviously option 1 would result it in it not building on your system
Bert.=C2=A0=C2=A0However, this is quite an old version of GLib, and stickin=
g to it
will prevent things like updates to Gtk 3 (which I have started having a
look into).

I've tried to determine what versions of glib the various distros are
currently shipping:

=C2=A0* Fedora 21: 2.42.2
=C2=A0* Fedora 22: 2.44.1
=C2=A0* Fedora 23: 2.46.2=C2=A0=C2=A0<--- What I'm using
=C2=A0* Ubuntu 12.04 LTS: 2.32.1
=C2=A0* Ubuntu 14.04 LTS: 2.40.0
=C2=A0* Debian Jessie: 2.42.1
=C2=A0* Debian Wheezy (Obsolete): 2.33.12

So as far as I can tell, there aren't really any current (or recently
current!) platforms that don't have GObject 2.26...=C2=A0=C2=A0I'm quite
interested to hear what you're running Bert!

I'm happy to help out with that.

Cheers,
