[Gambas-user] GTK component in 1.9.29

[Daniel Campos]

Hi Ron:

I understand you, but both GTK+ and Curl components are alpha/beta
components and won't be stable until Gambas2 is released, specially GTK+
component which is a big work.

If we had here a big team working on these projects, (and lots of money to
pay them :-) it would be possible to make the code necessary to replace the
lacks of the previous versions of GTK+ and test the component with various
versions regullary , but  it is not the case at this moment.  So I work in
order  to make possible to work with the gb.gtk component in a gnuLinex
2004/2006 system (Debian Sarge compatible, if Debian users upgrade to the
gnuLinex repositories).

The curl thing was a bit different: I had to change several times the
libcurl version because the "multi" interface, needed to make a coherent
Gambas interface, was quite buggy and unstable in the previous versions, and
I didn't think it was useful for anybody to provide support for a version
that surely would crash the program.

If other vendors like SUSE or RedHat, or any person trying to provide
support for these distributions, want to provide support to that components
using prior versions they're free to send patches to me or Benoit for these
components, specially now that the gb.gtk component is placed in a CVS, but
I can not do all that work personally.

Daniel
