GTK 2.7.2 automated building success reported
Hi
I've just successfully tested the script that Davide created to
automatically build the GTKDFB v 2.7.2 libraries (good work, Davide:
this helps a lot!).
I've also been to compile the frontend and to make it work correctly (in
a much more stable manner than only some weeks ago) with standard test
scripts.
Since a lot of confusion came up recently around the dilemma GTK 2.0.9
or GTK 2.7.x/2.8.x, here i'd like to clearify some points:
-ATM GTK 2.7.2 is the latest known version of GTK to compile against
GDKDFB and it will take some time yet before Mike Emmel updates the
GDKDFB library to that GTK 2.8.4 can be compiled against it.
-Since GTK 2.7.2 is a developers-only version taken from CVS it's NOT
suitable for udeb packaging nor real use: we'll have to use for the
next weeks to come the old GTK 2.0.9 udebs (binaries and developement
files) provided by Alastair to automatically build the frontend and to
create ISOs using the new build target Frans has set up.
-While Mike Emmel updates the GDKDFB library to compile against GTK v.
2.8.4 some experiments can be done with GTK 2.7.2 and Davide's script:
this will allow to test the frontend against GTK 2.7.2 rather 2.0.9.
By my side, i'll produce soon a new hacky had-made netinst ISO based on
GTK 2.7.2
ciao
Attilio
