my sources were the 3.2.91 source-ball - i probably did not modify it - that is exactly why i started this thread, recommending to always build from versioned releases - that way, when two users discuss the code, they are sure to be referring to the same code if anything that i have is precious, it would be the binaries, or the set of packages which i have installed now - if the former is the case, then my guess is that the PKGBUILD would generate useful binaries, if compiled on a hyperbola system, or an arch system from ~2 years ago - though the latter could be the case, that the build dependencies are still adequate, but that i have some unspecified run-time dependency installed, which is allowing it to work properly - the difference between my everyday system and a clean fresh arch system is over 1000 packages; so i did not jump down that rabbit-hole On Tue, 18 Oct 2022 15:07:54 +0000 c...@riseup.net wrote: > maybe we should ask the maintainer of GST? this is the proper channel to contact the maintainer - i was quite hoping that the maintainer would respond to this discussion - arch and other distros will drop GTK2 eventually - it became EOL upstream 2 years ago; so i asked the arch package maintainer to inquire explicitly about upstream plans
