this is my code below

  TextViewer *self = user_data;

  g_autoptr (GFile) file =
    gtk_file_dialog_open_finish (dialog, result, NULL);

  // If the user selected a file, open it
  if (file != NULL)
    open_file (self, file);
}

It seems you have -pedantic or -stdc=c89 in your compiler flags. Don’t do that.

Use -stdc=gnu99 or -stdc=gnu11, and never use -pedantic with GLib code.

goldman · March 29, 2024, 1:25pm

which do i need to make this change?

ebassi · March 29, 2024, 1:47pm

Find out where your compiler flags are set, and change them.

It seems you are using GNOME Builder and you’re trying to build an example from the GNOME Developer documentation—this kind of details is important, and you should always provide it.

The actual error is here:

   79 |     g_printerr ("Unable to print to load the contents of “%s”: the file is not encoded with UTF-8\n" );
      |                                                           ~^
      |                                                            |
      |                                                            char *

Remove the %s from the format string.

goldman · March 29, 2024, 1:50pm

please how do i correct it? do you mean i should use %c?

ebassi · March 29, 2024, 2:23pm

No, I said: remove the %s from the format string, not replace it.

There’s no argument for the modifier.

goldman · March 30, 2024, 10:26am

thank you sir this explains it.

goldman · March 30, 2024, 10:32am

fixed, lastly please is there a pdf book for the gnome builder tutorials?
