I am trying to port https://github.com/alexkay/xmonad-log-applet from GNOME2 to MATE, and so far I have gotten past configuration etc and I am trying to build. You can find my modifications here: https://github.com/geniass/xmonad-log-applet. When I run make
, it starts building, but on the last line it gives these errors:
main.c:92:39: error: expected declaration specifiers or ‘...’ before string constant
main.c:92:65: error: expected declaration specifiers or ‘...’ before ‘(’ token
main.c:92:84: error: expected declaration specifiers or ‘...’ before string constant
main.c:92:103: error: expected declaration specifiers or ‘...’ before ‘xmonad_log_applet_factory’
main.c:92:130: error: expected declaration specifiers or ‘...’ before ‘(’ token
I've seen quite a few similar questions here on stackoverflow, but they have mostly been about leaving out curly braces or method prototype return types. I can't see any here, but maybe I've just missed one? Apart from that possibility, I have absolutely no idea what could be wrong; these errors are totally meaningless to me
Here's main.c with the ifdef's removed for clarity (gives the same errors):

Turns out I was just using an old version of the libmatepanel library. I was using 2.0 whereas the current version is 3.0. For some reason I have both on my system
