It seems that the GTK patch by Jan only works with for GTK+ version 2
(and hence GNOME 2) and later. I was wondering whether this was by
design or accident (I presuming that it is by design, because I
noticed that the autoconf tests look for a version of GLIB and GTK >=
2.0.1, but I wanted to be sure).
I have successfully built a version of Emacs CVS w/ GTK patch under
Red Hat 8.0 (which ships with GTK+/GNOME 2 as standard), but was
trying to build the same version under Slackware 8.1 which ships with
GTK+ 1.2.10 and it fails (presumably due to the GTK+ version).
Yes, this is by design. The main reason is that the event strategy used
for Emacs and GTK won't work with GTK 1.2 (or rather Glib 1.2). Other
reasons are that a lot of stuff that are in 1.2 has been replaced with
new things in 2.0 (like moving all event-signals to glib) and the old 1.2
things are depreceated in 2.0. So in order to be more "future proof",
I started with for 2.0.
Note that no Gnome stuff are used, so just compiling GTK 2.0 is enough
to get Emacs to compile.
