GTK/Gnome frontend elementary support
Hi! the attached patch together with additional files included into the .tar.gz archive adds elementary support for GTK/Gnome frontend: configure scripts, Gtk/Gnome initialization, Gnome event loop processing, and Copyright dialog box implementation. It should be easy to use this code on the platform with good STL string implementation. In such case you need standard gtk, gnome, libsigc++ , gtk-- and gnome-- libraries. On my platform (redhat linux 6.1, egcs 1.1.2) LyX uses LyX string class instead of STL string. To use gtk-- and gnome-- with LyX I recompiled these libraries after replacing "#include string" by "#include "LString.h"" in the source files of the libraries. To make our life easier I've written two small scripts that patch gtk-- and gnome-- libraries and compile them. Please note that running these scripts is DANGEROUS since it may change your source files. The following are instructions for getting Gtk/Gnome frontend running in the platforms that lack good STL string implementation (it worked on my platform): * install Gtk, Gnome, and libsigc++ * download gtkmm-1.2.1.tar.gz and gnomemm-1.1.10.tar.gz from http://gtkmm.sourceforge.net/download.html (click "sourceforge download area" on this page) * create a new directory and copy gtkmm-1.2.1.tar.gz, gnomemm-1.1.10.tar.gz, lyxgtk.sh, and str2lyxstr.sh to this directory (lyxgtk.sh and str2lyxstr.sh are attached to this e-mail) * cd to this directory * read and edit script lyxgtk.sh (set source and install directories) * run script lyxgtk.sh * include directory with installed new gtk and gnome libs to PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH as first directories (subdirs bin and lib, respectively). * cd to lyx source directory * run autogen.sh * run configure with the following options: --with-frontend=gtk --without-included-libsigc --disable-sigctest --with-gnomemm-config-path=NEW_GNOMEMM_LIB/lib/gnomemmConf.sh --disable-gtkmmtest * run make Please note, that compiled Gtk--/Gnome-- libraries are usable only with LyX. Finally, to make configure script working I had to disable AC_LANG_CPLUSPLUS in configure.in (line 66). Otherwise gnome configuration scripts were not working properly. It will be very nice if someone with good knowledge of configure.in magic would take a look on this problem. Regards, Marko #!/bin/bash # This script is DANGEROUS!
