Problems compiling xfce-session-4.5.91

hi  ;D

i'm trying to compile the xfce4.6 beta-1 sources, I compiled nearly all packages, just least this one: xfce-session-4.5.91.tar.bz2

I have this error in the make :

I'm running slackware 12.1
this is my compiler and kernel information
bash-3.1# cat /proc/version
Linux version 2.6.24.5-smp (root@midas) (gcc version 4.2.3) #2 SMP Wed Apr 30 13:41:38 CDT 2008

really geek part  :razz: :
I already tried to search for errors in the /usr/include/linux/ioprio.h file, but I didn't found anything wrong on it, except for the fact that it uses a task_struct struct that gcc says it don't have the ioprio member, but it have this member and the correct header is included :?
this struct is on the file /usr/include/linux/sched.h

I still trying to find the error, but if somebody have any ideas would be great

thanks 

(looks like i'm the only that have this problem on google  )

Re: Problems compiling xfce-session-4.5.91

Your kernel 2.6.24-5 is from about january this year.

I'd fancy the guess that svn versions are built against the bleeding edge,
so upgrading from -5 to -21 might be of help.

Lets hope the release versions will be more kernel-revision-agnostic  ;D

hth,

Re: Problems compiling xfce-session-4.5.91

humm, i didin't noticed that my kernel is that old  :-| (it's the default slack 12.1 kernel)
i'll compile the lastest version here and then i post here what happened  :razz:

edit -->
ok, i tried to compile it usind the last kernel from kernel.org (2.6.27.2), and is gives the same error
changed the gcc version too, and no results =-\

i'm giving up =-P
i'll wait the final version package for slackware or the graphical installer and see if it compiles fine here

thanks for the tips, herd ;D
