Hi Anthony, I appreciate that the gtk ui is now available in git master. Alas, the current code did not address some issues which I had reported earlier. Most important: * The code does not compile on current Debian Squeeze because it requires a newer version of vte: /gtk.c:860: error: ‘VtePty’ undeclared (first use in this function) and lots of more compiler errors. * There is no w32/w64 support for vte, and it would need a really big effort to get a vte binary for those hosts. They need a gtk ui without vte. * New: Ubuntu does not provide /usr/lib/pkgconfig/gtk+-2.0.pc, so Ubuntu hosts won't compile the new gtk ui. Regards, Stefan
