Hi folks, I am getting ready to release an application on windows that uses gtkmm 2.16 and friends. As background, I am choosing this version because I want to support Windows 2000, and later versions of GTK+ (or perhaps gdk?) require a win32 system file Wspiapi.h which only exists on Windows XP and later.
I have two questions related to following the LGPL requirements correctly. First, what is the correct way to give the copyright info for gtkmm 2.16 as a whole? I notice that the source files give copyright dates that differ from one another, presumably based on when the individual files were written. Since 2.16 was released in 2009, would it be correct to say: Copyright 1998-2009 The gtkmm Development Team ? Second, I have made an installer that includes the redistribution dll's in gtkmm-win32-devel-2.16.0-4.exe, so I need to provide access to the source that matches those dll's. Even if all I do is provide links to existing source repositories, I need to be able to direct folks to the correct versions. Can someone tell me how to find out which source versions were used for each of the dll's in that download? It is not clear to me how to interpret the version numbers that are part of the dll file names. As one example, one of the included dll's is libpangomm-1.4-1.dll, but a look at the pangomm source page seems to indicate that the pangomm version that would have been current in early 2009 was probably 2.24. I don't see any source that dates back as far as 1.4. Am I being more particular than usual about version numbers? I am reflecting on GNU's advice in their FAQ's, that providing the correct version matters so that someone who uses it won't find unexpected discrepancies in behavior. I would appreciate any help you can give about this. And thanks so much for creating and maintaining such a terrific GUI toolkit and such terrific documentation! It is truly a pleasure to work with gtkmm. Marge _______________________________________________ gtkmm-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtkmm-list
