Bug 63145 – vim.eclass should support Gnome 2 interface

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

From http://www.vim.org/htmldoc/gui_x11.html#gui-gnome-session:

Currently the Gnome-related interfaces vim.eclass supports (with --enable-gui=) are gtk, gnome and gtk2. There is also in configure.in a gnome2 interface. This is useful because it has session support (and the Gnome toolbar). Otherwise it is largely identical to the gtk2 interface.

I suggest compiling in Gnome 2 support if the gnome and gtk2 USE flags are set:

Happen to know exactly what gnome packages will be required at compile and runtime? Still waiting for gnome to compile here...

It's a little complicated. I'm looking at configure.in and it seems that --enable-gui=gnome2 will just set SKIP_GNOME="", same as the Gnome 1 interface. However then inside the GNOME_INIT_HOOK function it behaves differently depending on the version of gtk2 available.

I believe that all it wants is >=libgnomeui-2.0 (line 1353).

Thus the gvim ebuild can be altered:

gtk 2.2 and xft are of course still needed; the gnome2 version is very similar to the gtk2 version.

I'll include this in the next vim/vim-core/gvim revbump, thanks.

[Comment 4 Ciaran McCreesh 2004-09-10 16:30:33 UTC]

Included in gvim-6.3-r2.
