[Freeciv-Dev] [task #7334] Make copy of gtk2-client as base for gtk3-client development
Follow-up Comment #12, task #7334 (project freeciv): We also need to decide which Gtk our official Windows packages will use... I guess that's partly up to cproc. Making it Gtk3 will get that version lots of testing :) ___ Reply to this item at: http://gna.org/task/?7334 ___ Message sent via/by Gna! http://gna.org/ ___ Freeciv-dev mailing list Freeciv-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/freeciv-dev
[Freeciv-Dev] [task #7334] Make copy of gtk2-client as base for gtk3-client development
Follow-up Comment #9, task #7334 (project freeciv): In the beginning so-called gtk3-client tree will be actually gtk2-client prepared to switch to gtk3. That may make things easier, but I may still have problems on Lucid, since that only has 2.20 and this code will target 2.24-ish. For the record, this came sooner than I thought: after patch #2704, I can no longer build gui-gtk3 on Lucid.

Follow-up Comment #10, task #7334 (project freeciv): after patch #2704, I can no longer build gui-gtk3 on Lucid. It was that new change in gtk? Failed to find any reference from ChangeLogs, but gtk+ sourcetree grepping shows that new key values were not present in gtk+ 2.20, but are in 2.22. ___ Reply to this item at: http://gna.org/task/?7334 ___ Message sent via/by Gna! http://gna.org/ ___ Freeciv-dev mailing list Freeciv-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/freeciv-dev

Follow-up Comment #7, task #7334 (project freeciv): Debian unstable seems to have package named libgtk-3-0 now. As does Ubuntu from natty (11.04) onwards. I assume that building instructions for gtk3 itself are not needed now? I don't think they'll be necessary -- just your reassurance that I'm not likely to end up in dependency hell is probably sufficient. Although to be honest, I'd probably just go for installing a more modern distro in a virtual machine for any Gtk3 work I have to do (since I don't intend to move my main machine on from Ubuntu Lucid any time soon). In the beginning so-called gtk3-client tree will be actually gtk2-client prepared to switch to gtk3. (per patch #2689) That may make things easier, but I may still have problems on Lucid, since that only has 2.20 and this code will target 2.24-ish. (This is all about my personal circumstances, but I think it's worth leaving these breadcrumbs in case any other developer finds themself in a similar situation.) ___ Reply to this item at: http://gna.org/task/?7334 ___ Message sent via/by Gna! http://gna.org/ ___ Freeciv-dev mailing list Freeciv-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/freeciv-dev

Follow-up Comment #8, task #7334 (project freeciv): On another subject: Cairo was mentioned. There are a couple of very old Cairo patches in RT: RT#15055 http://bugs.freeciv.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=15055, RT#16431 http://bugs.freeciv.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=16431 (2005-6). Dunno if anything can be rescued from them. (At least one of them was about making Cairo an option for all clients, not just Gtk. I don't know if that's still worth pursuing.) ___ Reply to this item at: http://gna.org/task/?7334 ___ Message sent via/by Gna! http://gna.org/ ___ Freeciv-dev mailing list Freeciv-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/freeciv-dev

Follow-up Comment #5, task #7334 (project freeciv): Just a reminder about this task now it's getting current again (if everything goes ok, just two patches to commit before I branch gtk3-client) building Gtk3 (and related dependencies) from source (maybe that isn't as scary as I fear). All the related packages adhere very well to building standards, so this is not scary at all (minor disclaimer: I'm the guy developing crosser ( http://www.cazfi.net/crosser/ ) so my view of what is 'trivial' to build might be a bit distorted). I can write some sort of quick instructions, maybe in form of shell script. Debian unstable seems to have package named libgtk-3-0 now.

Follow-up Comment #3, task #7334 (project freeciv): So, one more patch to commit to gtk2-client and then we are ready for branching. Any objections, or can I do it in a couple of days? I'm mainly worried that I'm not going to be able to build this new client myself, as I don't think my current Linux distro has any Gtk3 dev packages. So if I want to check I haven't broken it, or especially if I want to add/change some feature in the Gtk client(s) (likely), then I'm out of luck. However, that situation is probably not going to be different tomorrow or two months from now, so it probably shouldn't inform the timing of the fork. Whenever it happens I'll have to find some way to build for Gtk3, either by finding backported Gtk3 packages for Ubuntu Lucid (I didn't find any on a cursory look just now), or by upgrading my distro when one containing Gtk3 is available, or by building Gtk3 (and related dependencies) from source (maybe that isn't as scary as I fear). ___ Reply to this item at: http://gna.org/task/?7334 ___ Message sent via/by Gna! http://gna.org/ ___ Freeciv-dev mailing list Freeciv-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/freeciv-dev

Follow-up Comment #4, task #7334 (project freeciv): if I want to add/change some feature in the Gtk client(s) (likely), then I'm out of luck. In the beginning so-called gtk3-client tree will be actually gtk2-client prepared to switch to gtk3. Difference to gtk2-client itself would be that gtk2-client is more backward compatible (all the way to 2.12.0). I also anticipate that you would get your patches almost certainly right just by testing gtk2-client when making similar changes to both clients. Someone else (I?) can then make final gtk3-testing. building Gtk3 (and related dependencies) from source (maybe that isn't as scary as I fear). All the related packages adhere very well to building standards, so this is not scary at all (minor disclaimer: I'm the guy developing crosser ( http://www.cazfi.net/crosser/ ) so my view of what is 'trivial' to build might be a bit distorted).

Follow-up Comment #2, task #7334 (project freeciv): After investigating the issue it seems that there would be no benefit from switching to cairo drawing in gtk2-client before branching gtk3-client. Even if gtk2-client would use cairo based drawing code, it would be very different from what gtk3-client will use. Gtk2-client needs to be backward compatible to earlier cairo and gtk2 versions, but gtk3-client requires that non-deprecated ways are used. So, one more patch to commit to gtk2-client and then we are ready for branching.

Update of task #7334 (project freeciv): Depends on: = patch #2573 ___ Follow-up Comment #1: Now all patches required to get rid of code deprecated in gtk 2.12 have been written and are dependencies of this ticket. Maybe we should postpone branching gtk3 client a bit further than committing just these patches. I assume that gtk2 client would also benefit from having cairo based drawing system, so implementing that before branching would make sense. ___ Reply to this item at: http://gna.org/task/?7334 ___ Message sent via/by Gna! http://gna.org/ ___ Freeciv-dev mailing list Freeciv-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/freeciv-dev

Copy gtk2-client as starting point of gtk3-client development 3. Make gtk3-client actually gtk2 2.24.0 (latest gtk2 release) client that uses no deprecated constructs 4. Make switch to actual gtk3 with gtk3-client This task is point 2 in the list.
