Cannot compile with 'undefined reference' about et HOT 5 CLOSED

Thanks for trying to use et and reporting your problems. Could you please supply some information about your system, like

• what operating system and/or distribution are you using,
• do you have libnotify (and libnotify-dev or the like for Debian-based systems) installed and
• what does pkg-config --cflags glib-2.0 gdk-pixbuf-2.0 --libs libnotify return?

from et.

I have to admit that the required dependencies are more written between the lines of the README instead of specified explicitly. You can check the provided nix file, which lists the requirements. Furthermore I just fired up a Debian 9, installed build-essential libnotify-dev through apt-get and was able to build et.

Please answer my previous questions and I'd like to update the README with a more detailed install guide.

Sorry for long answer.

• Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS;
• All requirements are installed;
• Everything looks fine:

egormanga@ACER-TOUCH:~/et$ pkg-config --cflags glib-2.0 gdk-pixbuf-2.0 --libs libnotify
-pthread -I/usr/include/gdk-pixbuf-2.0 -I/usr/include/libpng16 -I/usr/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/glib-2.0/include -lnotify -lgdk_pixbuf-2.0 -lgio-2.0 -lgobject-2.0 -lglib-2.0

This was quite interesting. For debugging I created two containers based on Debian and Ubuntu with the same setup. However, the Ubuntu one failed to build this program. After some almost random changes I got it working.

@egormanga: Could you please retry building and verify the changes or reopen the issue otherwise?

from et.

Yep, the last commit made it work. Thx.
