Hello, I've been writing a small application in gtk-1.2 that works fine as far as I've gotten. On a whim, I tried migrating this to gtk-2.0, and I suspect I've found that the code will have to be rewritten, though to what extent I'm unable to determine. I'm running Slackware-10.0 and have gtk+-1.2.10 and gtk+-2.4.0 as part of the distro. I'm aware that 2.4.0 is now obsolete, but I guess I would like to know just how bad could it be? What I did was copy the code to a new directory, and replace the `gtk-config ...` with `pkg-config ... gtk-2.0` in the Makefile. That works well enough to produce a rolling screen of problems before it bails out. The contents of the "rolling screen" start off with the observation that certain gdk-pixpuf header files could not be found, which I discovered existed but were '.hx' rather than '.h'. Renaming the files to '.h' got rid of that observation, but there issued a long list of complaints about a function that was poorly coded, or something. After running through the much longer list of complaints before bailout, I decided to ask some questions before proceeding further: 1. Code written for Gtk+-1.2 will, or will not, compile and run correctly under Gtk-2.0. y/n. 2. Gtk+-2.4.0 is, or is not, usable for development. y/n. 3. Should I have to redefine a shell variable in order to get the 2.0 version to work? y/n. Running 'pkg-config' a la the tutorial gave me what seemed to be a reasonable list of libraries, etc. Absent any sort of assistance on my questions about Gtk+-1.2, I fear I'll have to migrate this code in any case, whatever it takes. I intended to do that eventually, but would have preferred to produce both versions, starting with 1.2. In that regard, can someone steer me to a venue where I can get questions about 1.2 answered? Thanks for reading, Bill Tallman _______________________________________________ gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
