Re: gEDA: A complaint about glib-2.6 in libgeda

[sdb-at-NOSPAMcloud9_dot_net (Stuart Brorson)]

A little more info:  The offending fcn is g_unlink.  It appears here:

    /* Delete the backup file */
    if ( (g_file_test (backup_filename, G_FILE_TEST_EXISTS)) &&
         (!g_file_test(backup_filename, G_FILE_TEST_IS_DIR)) )
    {
      if (g_unlink(backup_filename) != 0) {
        s_log_message("s_page_delete: Unable to delete backup file %s.", backup_filename);      }
    }
    g_free (dirname);
    g_free (only_filename);
    g_free (backup_filename);


I guess this is the autosave stuff.  Is there a glib-2.2 version of
g_unlink?
