I am trying to build Linux Mint's cinnamon DE on Ubuntu 14.04 but I get this error on the make command, can someone help?

  CC       libst_1_0_la-st-bin.lo st/st-bin.c: In function 'st_bin_set_child':st/st-bin.c:465:7: error: 'clutter_actor_unparent' is deprecated (declared at /usr/include/clutter-1.0/clutter/deprecated/clutter-actor.h:58): Use 'clutter_actor_remove_child' instead [-Werror=deprecated-declarations]
   clutter_actor_unparent (old_child);
   ^
st/st-bin.c:475:7: error: 'clutter_actor_set_parent' is deprecated (declared at /usr/include/clutter-1.0/clutter/deprecated/clutter-actor.h:54): Use 'clutter_actor_add_child' instead [-Werror=deprecated-declarations]
   clutter_actor_set_parent (child, CLUTTER_ACTOR (bin));

This is for a Raspberry Pi 2B (armhf proc)

Anyway I'm trying to reinstall clutter now see if it helps

  • -Werror=deprecated-declarations? Maybe inspect the makefile or configure script to see how you can disable that flag.

  • I see the problem 'clutter_actor_set_parent' is indeed deprecated since version 1.10 of clutter, but somehow the code still uses 1.08

Try this :

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:moorkai/cinnamon
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install cinnamon

Then log out and press on Ubuntu button like here:

login image

Then select cinnamon.

  • You don't need cinnamon ppa to install it. apt-get install cinnamon is enough.
