[Dillo-dev]GTK 1.2 ..?
Is there any reason Dillo is still building against the GTK+ 1.2 libraries as opposed to 2.0 ? I'm not sure what it would break to build against the 2.0 libs, but I would really like to start building against them so I can add the clipboard code that i've had my eye on ;) I don't think the size would grow _that_ much, and I think the benefits would be large from using 2.0. Right now, the only difference I can see would be in the autoconf files, GTK+ 2.0 uses pkg-config to supply the correct cflags and ldflags, while GTK+ 1.2 uses gtk-config. Ideas, suggestions? -R. Tyler Ballance p.s. I'm working through bug #668 which I added last night on my NetBSD laptop right now, woo

People have done tests, and Dillo becomes much slower and much larger under GTK2. The current plan (unless it's been changed off-list) is to move to FLTK instead, which should pick up things like Unicode support and a more current code base. -- Kelson Vibber www.hyperborea.org

BTW, how is this plan going? I mean, I like fltk, but on the site says (or said, I haven't seen it recently) that it will use 1.2.x version which is not supported any more by the fltk team (if I understood well). Which version is is is going to be used? I vote for 2.0 (Unicode by default is there). -- I haven't even got up and the bug is here :o)

Pardon me, but I *think* you misunderstand. The FLTK web site <URL:http://www.fltk.org/> lists version 1.1.6 as the *stable* version. Both 1.2.x and 2.0.x appear to be works in progress. Cheers, Jeremy Henty

My mistake. I haven't seen instructions for downloading version 1.2 of fltk, so I assumed it is a dead project. Sorry. :o) -- I haven't even got up and the bug is here :o)
