Bug 46737 – Patch for wxGTK ebuild to support GTK+-2.4.

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Lawrence Gold 2004-04-03 19:27:31 UTC]

When wxGTK-2.4.2 is built with the "gtk2" USE flag enabled, building wxGTK-based programs such as aMule and audacity results in errors because wxGTK is making use of three private GTK+ functions.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Emerge GTK+-2.4.
2. Emerge wxGTK-2.4.2 with USE="gtk2"
3. Emerge a wxGTK app, such as aMule or audacity.

Actual Results:  
Step 3 results in build errors.  (I'm afraid I don't have the exact error
messages handy.)

Expected Results:  
It should build without errors, since theoretically GTK+-2.4 is
binary-compatible with 2.2 and 2.0.

[Comment 7 REMOVED ACCOUNT 2005-01-15 11:08:09 UTC]

Could the wxGTK ebuild's release version be increased to -r4, please? It's not obvious that re-emerging wxGTK-2.4.2-r3 fixes this problem (see e.g. bug #78082, where not even the person who closed the bug knew it's wxGTK bug). OTOH, if Portage offered wxGTK upgrade, one would try to upgrade wxGTK first to see if it fixes the bug.
