Hi,
I accidentally "replied to sender" yesterday, so here's the same
message to the list...
Quoting "Stephen George" <[email protected]>:
"GTK+ 2.16 is an old but in some sense more reliable branch. 2.20
is the current maintained version. Choose the one which works
better for you."
They question is, which one is best for the installer 2.16 or 2.20
?, is there a preference?
For starters, everything more recent than 2.16 has serious problems
drawing xp themed widgets, and then there's a whole bunch of
bugs/regressions introduced by the client-side windows work done in
2.18. If you don't need newer widgets, better stick with 2.16 for now...
"The bundles contain both run-time and developer files. Many of the
developer files are relatively irrelevant. If you intend to
redistribute the GTK+ run-time, you need to figure out which files
you can leave out yourself."
Do you think I can leave the developer files out, and just include
the runtimes?
If you take gtk+-bundle_2.16x, you can safely delete the following
directories:
include,
lib,
make,
man,
manifest,
share/aclocal,
share/doc,
share/glib-2.0,
share/gtk-2.0,
share/gtk-doc,
share/locale/languages-you-dont-need,
share/man,
share/themes/themes-you-dont-need[1],
src
Having never used the GTK all-in-one package before what do you do,
.. unzip to a folder and then put the runtime bin directory on the
path, and that's it?
Correct. I don't change the system or user PATH, though. I prefer
to write a small "run.bat" script per project, selecting the correct
gtk+ runtime for that project, or to configure pydev so it includes
the correct gtk version in the PATH environment variable before launch...
hth,
Dieter
