Yes, you were probably looking at this, for gtkmm-3.0: http://library.gnome.org/devel/gtkmm-tutorial/unstable/sec-drawing-clock-example.html.en But maybe you want to look at this instead, for gtkmm-2.4: http://library.gnome.org/devel/gtkmm-tutorial/stable/sec-drawing-clock-example.html.en > Anyway, so my question is, where is gtkmm3? > I downloaded gtkmm-2.90.7, 2.91.7, and 2.99.5 guessing that these might > be develoment snapshots and gtkmm3 doesn't actually exist yet.

We update the book as the gtkmm API changes. The stable versions still exist. There is a gtkmm-list mailing list, by the way. -- murrayc@xxxxxxxxxxx www.murrayc.com www.openismus.com _______________________________________________ gtk-list mailing list gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
