My problem is that I want to use GStreamerMM with GtkMM, but whilst Debian packages GStreamerMM 1.0, the Fedora GStreamerMM is 0.10. So in order to be up-to-date and platform agnostic I am having to code using the GStreamer C API in a GtkMM codebase. So the problem is not a GtkMM one, and thus unfixable by this community. > The other piece of relevant information is that some objects are > owned > by another - Gtk::Adjustment is a good example; these are only > provided > via a RefPtr, rather than a raw pointer.

I am trying to use std::unique_ptr and std::shared_ptr everywhere I can whilst working with Glib::RefPtr and Gtk::manage as required by the GtkMM API. The mix can sometimes look quite odd! -- Russel.=============================================================================Dr Russel Winder t: +44 20 7585 2200 voip: sip:russel.winder@ekiga.net41 Buckmaster Road m: +44 7770 465 077 xmpp: rus...@winder.org.ukLondon SW11 1EN, UK w: www.russel.org.uk skype: russel_winder
