Hi battleshooter. Can't help you with the compiling gvfs. I use the system (base) packages from the slackware repo -- shouldn't there be ready-made ones for ubuntu? By analogy, I didn't have to change any puppy-specific files when I updated from glibc 1.23 to 1..26/gcc from 530 to 720. Had to add a few new dependencies like pcre2 and fontconfig2. The big one I forgot to mention before was udisk2 which I also had to reinstall.battleshooter wrote:It looks like the component that's causing my many unnecessary icons is glib? When I compile it with --with-pcre=system I get about double (not duplicates, but more individual system mount points) the amount of icons as when I don't use the --with-pcre=system flag.
Does this mean it is something more to do with Pup-Volume-Monitor?
How do you normally compile GVFS? I'd love to hear more from you as you're seemingly the only person that has encountered this issue and solved it.
