Hello. > Hi, I want to use GtkFixed as my preferred container(yes I am aware of the > warnings against it). Currently there is an old bug that prevents me from > fully utilising it. I am referring to bug 81630. Although there are > available 2 patches there is no word from the developers. I want to test > them myself.

The first few lines are: This approach won't work here because widgets that are part of GTK+ are tightly integrated into that library and cannot be easily compiled as standalone units. Your best bet here would be to copy gtkfixed.[ch] files into some folder, rename them to something like myfixed.[ch] and then manually edit the code by replacing everything named gtk_fixed_ with my_fixed_, removing references to internal headers, removing single include headers, ... Or if I rephrase myself, you'll be busy for some time now;) Tadej -- Tadej Borovšak tadeboro.blogspot.com tadeboro@xxxxxxxxx tadej.borovsak@xxxxxxxxx _______________________________________________ gtk-list mailing list gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
