Thank you for your bug report, indeed ideally the code would be updated
for the new glib but meanwhile not using Werror is an easy workaround

Title:
  libappindicator won't compile because "g_type_class_add_private"
  deprecated

Status in libappindicator package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Attempting to compile libappindicator 12.10.0 from source fails for me
  on Artix:

  app-indicator.c: In function 'app_indicator_init':
  app-indicator.c:584:13: error: G_ADD_PRIVATE [-Werror]
    584 |  AppIndicatorPrivate * priv = APP_INDICATOR_GET_PRIVATE(self);
        |             ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  cc1: all warnings being treated as errors

  Research suggests that this is may be because
  "g_type_class_add_private", which is used in app-indicator.c at line
  212, is deprecated by glib2, see: https://blog.gtk.org/2018/07/11
  /news-from-glib-2-58/

  Further research suggests that this may be "solvable" by replacing
  -werror with -wno-error, but that seems like an untidy band-aid at
  best.
