Subject: (Was: guile-gobject 0.3.0 Released)
Date: Mon, 04 Feb 2002 15:05:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <15455.5099.166781.709713@winona.neilvandyke.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1012361923.701.7.camel@soleil>
I'm afraid I'm confused about the future of guile-gtk.
Could Ariel (or perhaps someone else who is also working on it) please
clarify what the intentions for continuing development are?
Reasons for asking:
* I could not get the guile-gtk 0.21pre4 release to build against GTK
2 (1.3), and configuration code that appeared to be for GTK 2 was
disabled. I had the same problem with CVS version.
* When built against GTK 1.2 and Guile 1.5.4 CVS, some of the
guile-gtk widget demos have errors (possibly due to Guile changes).
It was also unclear how much new functionality has been added in
recent times.
* Ariel's true love may be the full Gnome platform in all its glory,
and it may be asking too much of him -- or anyone -- to burden him
with separately developing and maintaining *non*-Gnome GTK bindings.
No flame intended; I just need to understand where guilt-gtk is going if
I'm to be able to use Guile at all. So far it's been confusing.
Please note that guile-gobject won't work for me and some other people,
since anything Gnome-dependent presents technical (e.g., size,
complexity) and/or political issues. However, Guile bindings for GTK 2
(and perhaps Pango and Libart), are very much desired -- so long as they
are independent of Gnome.
Thanks,
Neil V.
