I have three issues to report.

1. First, there are still references to gtk-2.0 in several files in svn.
The easier way to find them: 'grep -R --exclude-dir=.svn gtk-2.0 .'

2. Secondly, there is a typo in trunk/uppsrc/CtrlCore/CtrlCore.upp. xdmpc should be xdmcp I guess

3. Thirdly, I would like to understand this new strategy:

Extract of trunk/uppsrc/CtrlCore/CtrlCore.upp:

pkg_config(LINUX | FREEBSD) "freetype2 x11 xinerama xrender xft xdmpc fontconfig xcb xext";

pkg_config((LINUX | FREEBSD) !X11) "gtk+-3.0 libnotify";

So now U++ can be compiled with GTK dependencies only (GTK+libnotify) or GTK+X11 dependencies and we need pkg-config to compile CtrlCore?
"xinerama xrender xft xdmcp fontconfig xcb xext" are now mandatory for GTK+X11?

I need to understand this because current domake script is broken as:

* umk on debian server doesn't use '((INCLUDES))' anymore in ~/.upp/theide/GCCMK.bm
* exported Makefiles use pkg-config when using CtrlCore because of trunk/uppsrc/CtrlCore/CtrlCore.upp recent changes
* U++ won't compile if pkg-config is not there because of missing default includes
* Previously we only needed gtk3 x11 and libnotify

Extract of Makefile.in in new tarball snapshots:

CINC   = -I./ `pkg-config --cflags freetype2` `pkg-config --cflags x11` `pkg-config --cflags fontconfig` `pkg-config --cflags xcb` `pkg-config --cflags expat` `pkg-config --cflags libpng` `pkg-config --cflags xinerama` `pkg-config --cflags xrender` `pkg-config --cflags xft` `pkg-config --cflags xdmpc` `pkg-config --cflags xext` `pkg-config --cflags gtk+-3.0` `pkg-config --cflags libnotify`
