[Freeciv-Dev] [patch #5090] Minimum gtk3 version to 3.8

[Jacob Nevins]

Follow-up Comment #5, patch #5090 (project freeciv):

Attached are some local patches I've been carrying for a while for
compatibility with older versions of Gtk3, in case they're useful to anyone.
(I've finally upgraded my last development machine to Ubuntu 14.04 so I won't
be maintaining these any more.)

The official Win32 package  is still
3.6.4, though. There might be a newer version by the time we're making 2.6
builds, but it's also quite likely there won't.

Follow-up Comment #1, patch #5090 (project freeciv):

Just checked and this doesn't make things any worse for Debian-based distros.
libgtk-3-0 versions:
* Debian: stable (wheezy) 3.4.2-7, jessie (testing, will be next stable)
currently 3.12.2-3
* Ubuntu: precise (old LTS, 12.04) 3.4.2-0ubuntu0.7, trusty (14.04LTS)
3.10.8-0ubuntu1. Last version with 3.6 was raring (13.04) which is already
unsupported.

Details:

- There's notable theming changes in gtk+ between 3.6 and 3.8. It might be a
burden to try to maintain compatibility with pre-3.8 theming as we work on
improving it (it's possible that we already depend on 3.8 in a way, themes not
working as well in older versions)
- Default client in 2.5 is gtk2, so the issue of people using gtk3-client
there and wanting to upgrade to freeciv-2.6 is not so critical. Anyway, even
gtk+-3.8 is an relatively old version by the time freeciv-2.6 comes out
(latest gtk+ is already 3.12)

Thus attached patch bumps minimum gtk3 requirement from 3.6 to 3.8. While it
doesn't magically break the code from working with 3.6, it makes us free not
to care about 3.6 compatibility. We should later check any constructs
deprecated in 3.8 in our codebase (we can't fix later deprecations as there
wouldn't be alternative way to do things in 3.8)
