Re: Porting a GTK 1.x application to current version
Hi Fabian, 1) In the beginning, you may wish to use: #define GTK_ENABLE_BROKEN to allow GTK 1* widgets to run with GTK 2* libs. This makes the transition much easier, because you can port all your GTK 1* widgets little by little, until one fine day you will be able to get rid of #define GTK_ENABLE_BROKEN... 2) When you reach that stage, you might wish to add the following lines to your makefiles: override CFLAGS += -DG_DISABLE_DEPRECATED -DGDK_DISABLE_DEPRECATED \ -DGDK_PIXBUF_DISABLE_DEPRECATED -DGTK_DISABLE_DEPRECATED \ # -DGSEAL_ENABLE \ # -DG_DISABLE_SINGLE_INCLUDES -DATK_DISABLE_SINGLE_INCLUDES \ # -DGDK_PIXBUF_DISABLE_SINGLE_INCLUDES -DGTK_DISABLE_SINGLE_INCLUDES When your app compiles with the uncommented lines, you have essentially a GTK 2* app. When you manage to compile your app with the DGSEAL and INCLUDES directives, then you have essentially a GTK 3* app. Cheers, Carlos 2010/7/11 Fabian Schreyer: Hi there, I have to port an old GTK 1.x application from around 2000 to a current version. The goal is simply making it work on the current version of Ubuntu. So I searched Google for a general porting guide, but was unable to find anything useful, only a hint that there was one around in 2001. I was finally able to locate this old guid via archive.org, but I'm unsure, if it still applies to current versions of GTK+. Does anyone know if there is a more recent guide on the net, or if the old one from archive.org is still usable?

The original guide should be some help but (warning: I haven't looked at it lately -- if you get a better-informed comment please disregard this one) I suspect it may not take into account the fact that a fair amount of the API in early GTK+ 2 has since been deprecated, and will disappear in GTK+ 3. Since Ubuntu generally keeps pretty much up to date with GTK, you should probably be looking towards GTK 3 compatibility. I'd recommend referring to the old guide, but cross-checking this against the html API doc for the current GTK release so as to avoid substituting short-lived deprecated code for actually obsolete code. Your situation is a little awkward, since any current guide is likely to focus on porting from (older) GTK 2 to GTK 3.
