How to NOT dlopen libgtk and stuff....? [message #7149] Fri, 15 December 2006 20:17 Go to next message

Somewhere between 605 and 612 you seem to have switched from drawing your own widgets to “dlopening” libgtk or something (at least on UN*X systems, didn't check Windows). Though this is nice for a better desktop integration for (at least) GNOME users, I'd rather have the old behavior back because it is WAY faster. (I'm talking about seconds of startup time, here)

Is there a way to accomplish this as a runtime or compile time option?

Thanks,
--r.

Interesting, I have not noticed such difference. Maybe I should check better. What is your hardware / distro? Have you checked the release mode?

You can get old look&feel, but dlopen is performed anyway, so that is no win...

I have no problem with adding the flag, but I would like to investigate this issue first. IME, the startup time difference is negligible. What can be wrong?

Actually, thinking about it, it is also possible that some other issue included on the way is causing the difference.

First preliminary test

void InitX11Draw(const char *dispname)
{
	TimeStop tm;
	if(GTK() && GDK() && GOBJ()) {
		LOG("GTK load " << tm.Elapsed() << " ms");


shows GTK load time 5ms. Startup is immediate (Ubuntu AMD64, AMD 2.4Ghz)
Can you check the same?

(Draw/DrawX11.cpp 241)
