Running into an error when building on Mint

[Ao1Pointblank]

I have rofi version 1.5.4, and these are the apt packages for json-glib I have installed: libjson-glib-1.0-0 libjson-glib-1.0-common libjson-glib-dev json-glib-tools

here are my 'make' errors:

As the error says change MENU_CUSTOM_COMMAND to MENU_CUSTOM_ACTION in src/blocks.c, that's how I've overcome this issue.
