in theory, Gtk3 should just be a thin, pure Perl wrapper around Glib::Object::Introspection and the introspection data generated by gtk +-3.0 itself. in practice, Glib::Object::Introspection needs to be completed before that happens. > I assume that large portions of Gtk2 will work out of the box compiled > against Gtk3. generally, yes; all deprecated API has been removed - but there are a lot of changes post-deprecation: the style API, the drawing API, the size negotiation API. these changes require a rework of the internals, since they impact the implementation of widgets. then there's the boring work of adding the new symbols. honestly, I'd rather have a working Glib::Object::Introspection. > However, I understand that it will be possible to > install Gtk2 and 3 in parallel, and that won't be possible with the > Perl bindings unless we do some work. in theory, Gtk2-Perl is namespaced even on disk. you just need to duplicate the perl-Gtk2 repository into a perl-Gtk3 one, and change all the occurrences of "gtk2" with "gtk3" (more or less). ciao, Emmanuele. -- W: http://www.emmanuelebassi.name B: http://blogs.gnome.org/ebassi _______________________________________________ gtk-perl-list mailing list gtk-perl-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-perl-list
