Noting that Graeme is hammering on about expunging GTK1 support, and
noting that people who need GTK1 might find themselves having to build
an older version of Lazarus possibly using an older version of FPC:
a) How can I obtain (say) the most recently fixed version of 0.9.26 from
svn? I can see how to do this by release number but not by version, and
I notice that the snapshots at http://www.hu.freepascal.org/lazarus/
have (for example) both 0.9.28.3-25855 and 0.9.29-25855 implying that
there isn't a one-to-one mapping between release and version numbers.
b) Having found a given version of the IDE source, how can I determine
the optimum FPC version to compile it, and possibly the expected
versions of system libraries?
Apologies for asking about something that is probably an SVN issue or
might be documented somewhere in the sources, but this bit me a couple
of days ago where I was trying to compile code using 0.9.28-3 and
finding that it misbehaved in different ways depending on whether it was
linked with GTK v1 or v2. I tried moving to 0.9.29 which wouldn't
compile GTK1, in the end I fell back to 0.9.26 which fortunately I still
had a copy of locally.
