Wireshark · Ethereal-dev: RE: [Ethereal-dev] GTK 2.6 on Windows

["Anders Broman (AL/EAB)" <anders.broman@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Is the following comment an issue?

 

"For software developers I would suggest that unless you need to use 2.6-only features, you continue to build against GLib and GTK+ 2.4 headers and libraries, even if the run-time environment will be 2.6. Only if you use 2.6-only API build against 2.6, and in that case, remember to use the gstdio wrappers: replace all fopen() calls with g_fopen(), etc."

 

Otherwise I tink it's probably a good idea as I think some of the known bugs are solved there.

List,

 

I would like to request that we move to GTK 2.6 in our Windows builds. The reason for this is compatibility with newer GTK themes which rely on GTK 2.6 or higher. By moving to this version we can allow Windows users to easily change the default GTK theme. All users would need to do is download the desired theme and then copy the files to the /share and /lib directories.

 

Moving forward this functionality could be added through configuration settings in Ethereal to allow better customization of the GUI. Or even perhaps custom skins?

 

I have tested the latest SVN on Windows with the following updated packages and have not experienced any issues. Comments?
