Summary: Running the GTK version under W2000 Project: Freeciv Submitted by: None Submitted on: mar. 08 mai 2012 08:06:52 UTC Category: client-gtk-2.0 Priority: 5 - Normal Status: None Privacy: Public Assigned to: None Originator Email: christophe.jail...@wanadoo.fr Open/Closed: Open Discussion Lock: Any Planned Release: _______________________________________________________ Details: Hi list, I know that running freeciv on Windows 2000 has already been discussed (see http://old.nabble.com/GTK-on-Windows-2000-pro,-sp4-td26568731.html) and that this OS is quite old but I would like to have it discussed a bit again. Some people are still using W2000 (me for example... :) !) According to the link above, freeciv is not starting because of a call to freeaddrinfo() done in GLib. The discussion is dated of dec/2009. See https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=611696 and https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=601840 for similar GLib bug reports. In GLib repository, it seems to have been corrected on 2010/03/03 : http://git.gnome.org/browse/glib/commit/gio/gnetworkingprivate.h?id=9a886135c80233a5a40071189df7693151201954 So my question is : What *exact* version of GLib is used to build the GTK version for windows ? Looking at the DLLs installed with freeciv, gtk seems to be 2.16.6. However on http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/binaries/win32/gtk+/2.16/, we can find 3 (!) versions of 2.16.6. As I suspect that the bundle version is used, GLib is included with it. These 3 versions are dated 15-Dec-2009, 13-Feb-2010, 12-Sep-2010. So 2 of them have been published *before* the patch that should correct the W2000 issue (i.e. 03-Mar-2010) and according to the dates, it seems logical that the first version is the one that is used. So updating to the latest 2.16.6 version, or to a more recent version of GTK *could* solve the issue. I don't have a working building environment but if some one could give it a try, it would be great.
