Title: gtk1... come on gtk2
Post by: ghaefb on September 06, 2004, 02:45:47 PM

Why is aMule still on gtk1 ???
Can you build it on GTK2 please.

gtk1 looks really out dated...

Thanks  ;)

Why don't you compile and link it with gtk2 then :P

What?
I'm sorry... you can do that?

I would like to know how to do that.

I'm using fedora core 2 rpm. (2.0.0rc5)
Why is gtk1 set by default?

I saw this "Only GTK1 is supported. Don't try GTK2 anymore. wxWidgets isn't ready for it."

Thanks

Well, the roms are built against gtk1, but you can compile yourself aMule using gtk2 following the instructions on wiki.amule.org, make sure you do --enable-gtk2 on wxwidgets compilation.



Maybe is time to start making GTK2 packages for releases....  I'll consider it for next release.

I think it is :) so that's in pre6 ? :D
You guys are great... keep up the good work.

I really love gtk2.. the only non-gtk2 app I use is aMule.
I have no choice, it's the best mule client for GNU/Linux.

Thanks for your time

Please do - i would love to see amule running on GTK2.

I tried to compile myself using the guides here - but what can I say... I gave up after a while (to many configure errors)

I guess I a slave under the rpm:s  ;)

I support my collegues in requesting that next packages will be GTK2   :P

a good gtk2 support need wx 2.5.x which is the unstable branch... 2.6.0 is not so far and will be the stable branch with a good gtk2 support

I vote for a gtk2 port. the only package, other than amule, that I know uses gtk1 still is xmms. I can't understand why.

once again.. because wxGTK isn't ready for gtk2 (memleaks/high cpu)

cheers ;)

what about qt ? :cool:

until wxQT isn't released (and up to now, it's not even in alpha stage), qt can't be supported.
hopefuly in some months aMule will begin to play with Qt ;)

Greetings!

I hope it's a joke. wx as gui toolkit is quite good. And what about all sockets, timers, strings, files etc etc ?

But best of all - Qt isn't free everywhere. Not on windows.

nope, not a joke. wxQt is an existing project ;-)
well, Qt exists. whether free or not, so ppl can decide what to use. variety is good hehe

It must be weirdest idea I ever heard. One cross-platform toolkit over another.

Ya, lol, why would one use one wrapper over another  ?( Anyway, as far as I know, wxWidgets 2.5.3 defaults out to use GTK2, and is also stable. Did any of you guys experience any special mem/cpu leaks when using this latest wxWidgets version linked toward GTK2?

I'm using amule 2.0.0rc7 with wxGTK 2.5.3 linked to gtk2 since november 13. I didn't test it extensively, because I'm compelled to shut down my pc almost every night but I didn't notice cpu or memory usage higher than usage I had with wxGTK 2.4.2 linked against gtk1

Just FYI, gtk is cross-platform too. Gimp, Gaim, Xchat, probably even more apps all work on Windows and they all use gtk there.


Anyway, I've been using aMule with wx-cvs linked to gtk2 for quite some time now with no memory leaks and cpu usage is almost zero. So I can only say good work aMule devs  :baby:
