Because it's cheap to talk and actual code is better... Based on Claudio's patches in https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4605 and old Fedora packaging, I've made a rather ugly .spec file and some patches that seems to build Hildon library against stock GTK. How it looks, if it works, I don't know, but it should be something that people can start using to see what is possible regarding Hildon on stock GTK+ and MeeGo. More like a proof of concept. Hildon version is 2.2.19. Patches and .spec, and i586 rpms against MeeGo trunk on http://stskeeps.subnetmask.net/hildon-meego/ along with build log http://stskeeps.subnetmask.net/hildon-meego/rawlog A question for the Hildon crowd - are you willing to accept that patches might have to be made to move Hildon apps to MeeGo? To fit with stock GTK+ for instance.
