The problem with Gnome 3 is AFAIK mostly a problem of Illumos libc since Gnome 3 intends to move to use the ..._l() apis (e.g. strcasecmp_l(), isalnum_l(), ...) which are not present in Illumos libc. FreeBSD was confronted with the same problem (that major toolkits, including Gnome3 and Qt) and desktops are going to mandate the *_l() apis) and just did the work - see http://freebsdfoundation.blogspot.de/2011/09/following-project-update-was-written-by.html Irek _______________________________________________ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
