error: conflicting declaration ‘typedef struct _GSocket GSocket’

[conradwt]

Hi, The e-texteditor fails to build on Ubuntu 9.10. Thus, I'm getting the following error message:

$ make DEBUG=1

I have the same problem (Ubuntu 9.10 AMD64). A little googling has shown this is a fix http://trac.wxwidgets.org/changeset/61009 unfortunately it's already in external/patches/wxWidgets-gsock.patch and has already been applied to external/wxwidgets/src/gtk/gsockgtk.cpp.

I also tried this dirty hack mentioned here https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wxwidgets2.8/+bug/423845/comments/5 and that seemed to alleviate the pain when it got me to this issue http://github.com/etexteditor/e/issues/#issue/63. I applied the patch mentioned in there but the GSocket problem came back with a vengeance so this is no fix at all.

Currently not sure how to proceed to get this built.

Noticed that I had external/wxwidgets/src/gtk1 as well as external/wxwidgets/src/gtk so I modified the gsockgtk.cpp file to undef GSocket but that hasn't worked either. Any suggestions?
