Hi!
the attached patch together with additional files included into the
.tar.gz archive adds elementary support for GTK/Gnome frontend: configure
scripts, Gtk/Gnome initialization, Gnome event loop processing, and
Copyright dialog box implementation.
It should be easy to use this code on the platform with good STL string
implementation. In such case you need standard gtk, gnome, libsigc++ ,
gtk-- and gnome-- libraries.
On my platform (redhat linux 6.1, egcs 1.1.2) LyX uses LyX string class
instead of STL string. To use gtk-- and gnome-- with LyX I recompiled
these libraries after replacing "#include <string>" by "#include
"LString.h"" in the source files of the libraries. To make our life easier
I've written two small scripts that patch gtk-- and gnome-- libraries and
compile them. Please note that running these scripts is DANGEROUS since it
may change your source files. The following are instructions for getting
Gtk/Gnome frontend running in the platforms that lack good STL string
implementation (it worked on my platform):
* install Gtk, Gnome, and libsigc++
* download gtkmm-1.2.1.tar.gz and gnomemm-1.1.10.tar.gz from
http://gtkmm.sourceforge.net/download.html (click "sourceforge download
area" on this page)
* create a new directory and copy gtkmm-1.2.1.tar.gz,
gnomemm-1.1.10.tar.gz, lyxgtk.sh, and str2lyxstr.sh
to this directory (lyxgtk.sh and str2lyxstr.sh are attached to this
e-mail)
* cd to this directory
* read and edit script lyxgtk.sh (set source and install directories)
* run script lyxgtk.sh
* include directory with installed new gtk and gnome libs to PATH and
LD_LIBRARY_PATH as first directories (subdirs bin and lib,
respectively).
* cd to lyx source directory
* run autogen.sh
* run configure with the following options:
--with-frontend=gtk --without-included-libsigc --disable-sigctest
--with-gnomemm-config-path=NEW_GNOMEMM_LIB/lib/gnomemmConf.sh
--disable-gtkmmtest
* run make
Please note, that compiled Gtk--/Gnome-- libraries are usable only with
LyX.
Finally, to make configure script working I had to disable
AC_LANG_CPLUSPLUS in configure.in (line 66). Otherwise gnome configuration
scripts were not working properly. It will be very nice if someone with
good knowledge of configure.in magic would take a look on this problem.

Marko
