Automake requirements for gtk+, glib

2007-06-16 Thread Geoff Buchan

I was trying to build gtk+ and glib from the trunk subversion sources, but
autogen.sh complains about wanting version 1.7.x of automake. I now have
automake v1.9.6
installed, so the default script was actually requiring me to use a much
older version. Should it really depend on the older version ?

I just changed my local autogen.sh to require 1.9.x instead of 1.7.x, and
the build seems to be working fine now (it's still compiling; I'm building
on a slow laptop). Should a patch updating this be added to subversion ?

Regards,

Geoff

I guess you're talking about the time after the initial tooltip has
appeared, when other tooltips appear immediately as the user moves the
mouse around. (By they way, the docs for query-tooltip don't mention
this case, so need updating a bit.)

Efficiency-wise it seems comparable to how mouse motion events are
propagated up the hierarchy. It shouldn't really be a problem.

No. automake versions are not compatible.
Simply changing the requirements is not an option.
