SUBJ.

That makes impossible to build many applications on systems, which do not have GTK installed, or have out-of-date version of GTK.

IMHO, all GUI applications should have the NOGTK configuration.

I've attached a patch for UPP examples.

Hm...

Maybe we should rather introduce some "configuration header" instead?

Without GTK, you are not even able to start theide, you need special U++ version anyway...

To run TheIDE you only need GTK runtime, but to build something you need dev libs too.
So I can imagine a situation where TheIDE can be run, but any GTK package can not be compiled.

But it should be quite a rare case? Although as KDE user I prefer applications which don't need GTK at all, not even runtime. But I have no idea how much is missing from UPP GUI in case of NOGTK flag used.

It is hard to imagine a platform without dev libraries...

Well, even KDE provides via GTK interface the one thing we need the GTK for: theming...

I'm using U++ at home to produce a Makefile (TheIDE built at home won't run at work even if built without GTK).

After that I can build TheIDE at work with some manual altering of Makefile (for some reason Makefile is based on absolute file names).

There is always a way ...

Well, theming over SSH is not really important. The best theme I can afford is Classic. If U++ had even simpler theme I would prefer it. Wink

There is a bug with menu (it is flicking).

Otherwise everything else is pretty the same. Wink

TheIDE is working. That is good enough. Smile

I have no idea what "configuration header" means, but every Linux GUI application can be either GTK or NOGTK based (at least for now). Probably, there is no reason to mention that in each project file.

Let us place

#include <uppconfig.h>

into Core.h and let us put

#define flagNOGTK

into it on your platform Smile

(The only question remaining is where to put uppconfig.h Smile

This "configuration header" should be a result of a configuration procedure, something similar to Setup -> Automatic Setup.

IMHO, that shouldn’t be just a C++ header. It is more like a property of TheIDE. It is somewhat strange to see “NOGTK GUI” in Main Configuration on Windows and do not have NOGTK with all applications on Unix.

Probably, it is possible to make platform-specific configurations in U++ project files.


BTW, has somebody tried to build U++ with GTK on Windows Wink Theoretically, that should be possible.

Hm I would not worry so hard. It is what config flags are for, after all..

Anyway, back to the plan. I guess uppsrc nest root is as good place to put uppconfig.h as any other Wink Could you try that this idea works in practice please?

I'd like to say that defining flagNOGTK in Core.h didn't help.

Linking is still broken.

Adding "NOGTK GUI" configuration to all project files still seems to be the easiest solution.
