This is the latest in what appears to be the same series. Their ABI versioning
and compatibility in NEWS is really hard to follow (we missed a few episodes
over the years). I'm just following what is done on Gentoo:
2.66.8 -> gtkmm2/3
2.78.1 -> gtkmm4
Both rely on the same version of glib2. They can be installed in parallel. We
don't have gtk4, and unlike someone says "I need this now", I think we can skip
2.78.1 (ABI 2.68) and save it for later.
I used 2.66.8 to build pangomm1.4, atkmm1.6, cairomm1.0, gtkmm2, gtkmm3. None
expressed any complaints about it.
Features the doxygen bug where it hangs unless we toggle DOT_NUM_THREADS = 1.
Testsuite:
All tests passed, except one which tries to open /etc/passwd. It doesn't exist
here, so we drop that specific test. This is not as comprehensive as glib2's
testsuite (some 34 tests vs 200+).
Could create using:
$ getent passwd > /etc/passwd
but you might have to also tweak entries in:
# /etc/nsswitch.conf
...
# passwd: files db
...
# db_enum: cache builtin
scallywag:
There's been small updates to dependencies since I got this working (#9803), I
asked scallywag to rebuild, and it got stuck at "requested" (#9896). I am unable
to issue cancel ("job cancellation not implemented for backend").
I use a script which works and runs:
ssh cyg...@cygwin.com jobs cancel "$@"
although I probably have not tested against playground repo or branch for
packages where I am not maintainer.
