FWIW, I've been using gtk3 with gtk2 since January 2011 - needed it for epiphany (possibly, for the webkitgtk version packaged by debian) at that time. OTOH, in my current build gtk3 is only used for gvolwheel (there is an older version which uses gtk2) and current gucharmap. So in my case, it is possible that I will drop it if I can find a replacement for gucharmap - that isn't urgent, gucharmap still works well for me. If anybody cares - so far I've only built as far as LibreOffice and gucharmap, I've still got a load of things to build after I finish converting all my .abw and .gnumeric files (on an older system), but I very much doubt that I'll be using gtk3 in the remaining packages. I've also dropped gtk-doc and gobject-introspection and fixed the couple of packages which assumed introspection would be present. Anyone building gnumeric probably *does* still need gtk-doc. Summary - build as many versions of gtk+ as you wish (a long while ago, I built both 1 and 2). ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
