Hi!

Unfortunately, I couldnt compile it because my system (Mandrake 10.0)
has gtk
2.0 and I cant find a .rpm package for Mandrake 10 with gtk 2.4, but I
am
downloading 10.1 to make a update and compile that pcb package.
I tried to compile it on a gtk-2.2 system and it did not work either.
The first thing, I stumbled across, was gtk_ui_manager, which is used
to create the menus. It can easily be replaced, and I would volunteer
to do so, but...
... before doing this I would like to know
- - wether there is an interrest in supporting earlier versions of gtk
and
- - what other known incompatibilities are to be resolved.
I do not want to argue against doing the port this way, as the prime
job was to get the thing running, but now, as it is, care should be
taken on portability. I currently have a gtk-2.2 based system and have
the option to either update it or to work on compatibility.
I have a suggestion, what people think about making a fork on the pcb
project,
call this fork as gPCB and group it as official part of the gEDA
project?
I do not think, there should be two separate PCB projects, unless this
really cannot be avoided. Either support two GUIs or fade out one of
them, time (and developer participation) will show which one. IMHO the
current version is a kind of experiment, which chould be the basis of a
decision on PCBs future, but I also think, the time is not ready, yet,
for doing this decision.
I would like to hear what the maintainers of PCB do think about the
move to gtk+. Its their baby and I would like to hear their statements
on this topic.
However, If there is no other option that to fork pcb, I would be in
favour of gpcb, too. I am not sure, wether the case should be upper or
lower, gschem & co. are all lower case.
73, Mario
