Hi; my strong suggestion for you is to use jhbuild. Follow the instructions here: https://wiki.gnome.org/Newcomers on how to set up a jhbuild environment that does not break your installed system. Ciao, Emmanuele.

I also would like to avoid compiling an old version of Glade since this implies to remain on Gtk 2.x which would be pity to my opinion. > There is an unofficial port of Gtkglext for Gtk 3.x but this is unofficial, and I am concretely using Gtkmm, and AFAIK there is no port of Gtkglextmm for Gtkmm 3.x. And even if such an unofficial port exists, this is a solution I'd like to avoid (the UI is ported on different OSes). > I could also move to Qt but I would like to avoid this solution as much as possible. > > So my last solution was to build Gtk 3.18 (or 3.20 in my case) under my machine. > > If that might be helpful, please note that I still have normal Gtk packages installed (obviously), and I use /usr/local as the installation directory for the new version. > > Thanks a lot in advance. > _______________________________________________ > gtk-list mailing list > gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx > https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list -- https://www.bassi.io [@] ebassi [@gmail.com] _______________________________________________ gtk-list mailing list gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
